description	Recover or verify Chrome MCP before UI-flow testing. Triggers when user mentions: - "chrome mcp is broken" - "chrome mcp bootstrap" - "browser broker missing" - "cannot connect to chrome mcp"

Quick Usage

Use this skill before any Chrome-driven verification when the browser connection is flaky or missing.

1) Check which browser path is available

Try the browser plugin path first if the current session exposes it.
If the plugin path is unavailable, use Chrome DevTools MCP directly.

2) Repair common local issues

Run these in order:

pkill -f "chrome-devtools-mcp" || true
pkill -f "/Users/$USER/.cache/chrome-devtools-mcp/chrome-profile" || true
npx @different-ai/opencode-browser install
open -a "Google Chrome"

If the extension path is still broken, prefer direct Chrome DevTools MCP:

npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest --help

3) Minimal readiness check

Browser plugin path: confirm browser_status or browser_get_tabs succeeds.
Direct Chrome DevTools MCP path: confirm initialize and tools/list succeed, then open a page.

4) If recovery fails

Document the exact blocker.
Fall back to HTTP-level verification plus screenshots.
Do not silently skip the UI verification requirement.

Common Gotchas

The browser extension may be loaded but its native broker may still need a full Chrome restart.
A stale chrome-devtools-mcp process or profile can block new sessions.
Remote-debugging URLs like http://127.0.0.1:9222 only work if Chrome was started with remote debugging enabled.
In headless mode, prefer screenshots and page text assertions over visual-only checks.
