Field-by-field comparison

Compare the evidence before choosing an MCP.

Each signal stays separate, missing facts remain visible, and the column order follows your selection.

MCPs in this comparison

Uncheck an MCP to remove it. Comparing two or three keeps each signal in its own row.

Task fit
Best for
  • Historical reference for teams migrating from the deprecated local implementation.
  • Inspecting pages, console and network activity, automating browser actions, and collecting performance evidence in Chrome
Not ideal for
  • New installations; use the hosted OAuth successor instead.
  • API-only testing or browsers outside the project's documented Chrome support
Avoid when
  • A current workflow requires maintained local ElevenLabs MCP support.
  • The controlled browser contains personal accounts, secrets, or sessions that the MCP client must not inspect or modify

Access and data
AuthenticationHistorical local API-key authentication; the successor uses OAuth.No server authentication is documented for local stdio. Running-browser connections support optional WebSocket headers; an open remote-debugging port lets local applications control Chrome.
CostHistorical local usage was subject to ElevenLabs account pricing.The open-source npm package lists no MCP fee. Chrome, Node.js, client, model, and external-service costs are separate.
PermissionsThe retired local server used an ElevenLabs API key; this historical record is not an active setup recommendation.Inspects, debugs, automates, and modifies browser state through navigation, input, script evaluation, screenshots, uploads, extensions, memory, performance, and PWA tools.
Data handlingHistorical local operation sent requested content to ElevenLabs services; current hosted data handling is documented on the successor record.Browser content is exposed to the connected client. Performance tools send trace URLs to Google CrUX by default, and usage statistics with invocation success, latency, and environment data are enabled by default; broader retention is not documented.
Limitations
Tradeoffs
  • The historical local API-key and package model is distinct from the hosted OAuth successor.
  • Deep DevTools access improves debugging, but exposes browser content and state; usage statistics and CrUX URL lookups are enabled by default unless disabled.
Risk contextDo not install the archived local server. Review the hosted successor's current OAuth, workspace, and credit-spend boundaries instead.Can expose sensitive browser sessions and execute arbitrary browser actions or scripts. Use isolated profiles, URL allow/block patterns, restricted file paths, and do not expose remote-debugging ports.
