Give Claude the power to inspect and extract UI components from any webpage.
Connect the DOM Inspector Plus Chrome extension to Claude as an MCP connector.

What This Does
This MCP server lets Claude directly interact with webpages through the DOM Inspector Plus Chrome extension. Instead of you manually inspecting and copying, Claude can:
- Find elements on a page by CSS selector
- Extract full component trees with styles, Tailwind classes, and accessibility info
- Capture interaction states (hover, focus, active) to see what changes
- Extract design tokens (colors, typography, spacing) from any page
- Get page structure overviews to understand the DOM layout
Setup
1. Install the Chrome extension
Install DOM Inspector Plus in Chrome.
2. Install the MCP server
git clone https://github.com/Sreelal727/dom-inspector-plus-mcp.git
cd dom-inspector-plus-mcp
npm install
npm run build
3. Add to Claude Desktop
Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"dom-inspector-plus": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/dom-inspector-plus-mcp/dist/index.js"],
"type": "stdio"
}
}
}
4. Restart Claude Desktop
The "DOM Inspector Plus" connector should appear in Connectors.

How It Works
Claude ←→ MCP Server (stdio) ←→ HTTP Bridge (localhost:18432) ←→ Chrome Extension (content script)
The MCP server runs a small HTTP bridge on localhost:18432. The Chrome extension's content script polls this bridge for commands and sends back results. All communication stays local — nothing is sent to external servers.
