The repository has 108 stars and 9 forks, with the last commit 5 months ago. Recent commit activity is the strongest signal that reported issues will get attention.
Install
git clone https://github.com/magentic/flowlens-mcp-serverThis server has no ConduID identity, so agent calls to it are not receipted. Pin the version you install and review the source before granting it credentials.

README
FlowLens MCP
flowlens-mcp-server gives your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex) full browser context for in-depth debugging and regression testing.
How it works
- Record your browser flow using the FlowLens Chrome extension (user actions, network, console, storage, DOM events/screen recording).
- Share it with your coding agent via the FlowLens MCP server, giving the agent full access to the recording.
- Your agent inspects and analyzes the flow for debugging and insights — without spending time/tokens on reproducing the issue.
Demo
Requirements
- FlowLens browser extension add to chrome and pin for ease of use
- pipx
Getting Started
To install:
pipx install flowlens-mcp-server
To upgrade to the latest version:
pipx upgrade flowlens-mcp-server
To check that the installation was successfully:
flowlens-mcp-server
Add FlowLens MCP server
Add the following config to your MCP client (ex: ~/.claude.json) under mcpServers:
"flowlens": {
"command": "flowlens-mcp-server",
"type": "stdio"
}
MCP Client configuration
claude mcp add flowlens --transport stdio -- flowlens-mcp-server
Click the button to install:
Or install manually:
Go to Cursor Settings -> MCP -> New MCP Server. Use the config provided above.
code --add-mcp '{"name":"flowlens","command":"flowlens-mcp-server"}'
codex mcp add flowlens -- flowlens-mcp-server
"flowlens": {
"command": "flowlens-mcp-server"
}
Note:
The above setup only works with local flows. If you want to also connect to shareable flows, get your FLOWLENS_MCP_TOKEN from the FlowLens platform and add it to your relevant MCP config file:
"flowlens": {
"command": "flowlens-mcp-server",
"type": "stdio",
"env": {
"FLOWLENS_MCP_TOKEN": "YOUR_FLOWLENS_MCP_TOKEN"
}
}
Usecases:
Bug reporting
- Use FlowLens to quickly report bugs with full context to your coding agent. You no longer need to copy-paste console logs, take multiple screenshots, or have the agent spend tokens on reproducing the issue.
Regression testing
- Use FlowLens to record your crticial user flows and ask your coding agent to auto test these flows or generate corresponding playwright test scripts
Shareable flows
- Share captured flows with your teammates on the FlowLens platform and debug with your coding agent by adding a generated access token in the MCP config. More on this here
