What is required to use the Chrome DevTools Site Search skill?

This skill requires the mcp_servers.chrome-devtools MCP server to be installed and configured so Claude can control a real browser session.

Will it close my browser tabs when finished?

No, the skill is designed to leave all opened result tabs active so you can immediately review the content Claude found.

How many pages will the skill automatically open?

By default, the skill opens up to 3 results, with a cap of 5 pages unless you explicitly request a different number.

Does this skill work on sites with JavaScript-heavy content?

Yes, because it uses a real Chrome browser instance via DevTools, it can render and interact with JavaScript-heavy sites that standard scrapers often fail to parse.

Can it search websites that don't have a built-in search bar?

Yes. If a native search UI isn't found, the skill uses reputable external search engines with strict site-specific operators to find content within the target domain.

Browser Automation

Automates targeted website searching and content verification using a controlled Chrome browser session to validate parsing feasibility.

About

This skill enables Claude to perform deep, site-scoped searches by controlling a live browser instance via the Chrome DevTools Protocol. It goes beyond basic scraping by validating page structure, assessing automation feasibility—such as identifying bot protection or dynamic selectors—and systematically opening relevant pages for human review. It is an essential tool for technical research, documentation discovery, and preparing robust data extraction workflows where accuracy and real-time page observation are required.

Key Features

Managed tab persistence that keeps relevant results open for the user
Site-scoped searching via native site UI or filtered external search engines
Real-time extraction of page titles, canonical URLs, and content summaries
Automation feasibility assessment identifying DOM stability and blockers
Evidence-based reporting backed by observed page content and redirects
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Automating multi-page research tasks that require keeping source tabs open for review
Deep-searching technical documentation or API references within a specific domain
Evaluating website structure for future web scraping or automation project viability
