### Description (declared)

# Live DevTools Inspector MCP

A local Python MCP server for diagnosing an explicitly selected Chrome page. It collects normalized console/runtime issues, failed network requests, and main-thread performance findings. It can prepare an exact, reviewed source patch for an authorized local repository and run its test suite; it does not gain source access from a public website URL.

The package is named `devtools-inspector-mcp`. Verify this name is available on PyPI before publishing.
