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 Code
Use the Claude Code CLI to add the FlowLens MCP server (guide):claude mcp add flowlens --transport stdio -- flowlens-mcp-server
Cursor
Click the button to install:
Or install manually:
Go to Cursor Settings -> MCP -> New MCP Server. Use the config provided above.
Copilot / VS Code
Follow the MCP install guide, with the standard config from above. You can also install the FlowLens MCP server using the VS Code CLI:code --add-mcp '{"name":"flowlens","command":"flowlens-mcp-server"}'
Codex
Use the Codex CLI to add the FlowLens MCP server configure MCP guide:codex mcp add flowlens -- flowlens-mcp-server
Antigravity
Follow the Connecting Custom MCP Servers guide. Add the following config to the MCP servers config:"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
