What it does

Runs a Chrome DevTools‑Protocol server that lets you control and debug an Electron app (screenshots, console, network, DOM, JS evaluation) from any MCP client.

When to use it
  • •You need to automate UI tests for an Electron prototype without writing Selenium‑style scripts.
  • •You want to capture screenshots or console logs from a packaged Electron app during a CI build.
  • •Your team uses a Cursor‑style MCP client and wants live, scriptable inspection of the app’s DOM.
Ready-to-paste prompt
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:9222/screenshot -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"path":"./tmp/ui.png"}'
Heads up: The Electron process must be started with a remote‑debugging port that matches the server’s `--port` flag; if you launch the app normally (without `--remote-debugging-port`), the MCP server cannot attach and will exit with “Failed to connect to CDP”.
