CDP Inspector

Get started with installation. See release notes for the latest changes.

CDP Inspector is a two-part tool. The popup (click the toolbar icon) generates a ready-to-run Chrome launch command with remote debugging enabled, then lists every debuggable tab on that instance - and lets you open new ones. The inspector panel (opened by attaching to a tab) connects directly to that tab’s CDP WebSocket for a live screencast, a raw CDP command sender, one-click presets for common actions, and a dedicated Network tab that captures HTTP(S) requests and manages custom HTTP headers.

Because every Chrome instance it launches is a throwaway, isolated profile, it also doubles as a sandbox for AI agents to drive and debug real applications - see AI & automation use cases below.

Watch the intro video below for a quick tour before diving into the details.
