Chrome Devtools MCP now has an (experimental) CLI as well and can produce neat things like Lighthouse Audits. https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp/pull/1... I've only used it a bit, but it's working well so far.

Great news to all of us keenly aware of MCP's wild token costs. ;) The CLI hasn't been announced yet (sorry guys!), but it is shipping in the latest v0.20.0 release. (Disclaimer: I used to work on the DevTools team. And I still do, too)

Less like "Analyze the form elements and call the DOM APIs to set..." and more akin to "Call the submitInformation(...) tool the website told us about over WebMCP".

In WebMCP is available for early preview
