Is Chrome MCP Server a reference implementation of the MCP protocol?
No, it is not a reference implementation. It was built as a learning exercise to understand the protocol.

Basic information
MCP server to interact with Chrome
Add this server to your MCP-compatible client using the configuration below.

"run",
"uvicorn",
"demo_implementation.main:app",
"--reload"
]
}

This listing does not currently have a tool list to display. This does not mean the server has no tools; check its documentation for supported capabilities.
We auto-extract tools from the README. The maintainer can list them under a ## Tools heading to populate this section.
Chrome MCP Server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) designed to interact with Chrome. It was built as a learning exercise to understand the MCP protocol and to provide a server that can be used in Cursor to take screenshots of a page and validate implementation.
For the demo implementation, run uv run uvicorn demo_implementation.main:app --reload and connect via the MCP inspector at http://0.0.0.0:8000. For the robust implementation (which uses the MCP Python SDK), start the server with mcp run app/main.py --transport sse and then use the MCP inspector.
No, it is not a reference implementation. It was built as a learning exercise to understand the protocol.
The demo implementation has several limitations, including lack of error handling and inadequate cleanup of sessions.
Initialization is done in three steps: 1) an initial call to `/sse` to get the session URI, 2) the client sends an `initialize` message, and 3) the client sends a `notifications/initialized` message.
The robust implementation uses SSE (Server‑Sent Events) transport.
