mycdp

What it is and what it does

MyCDP is a Python library that wraps the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) to make it accessible for browser automation. Rather than requiring external drivers, it lets you control Chromium directly through CDP commands, or connect to an already-running browser instance if you know its remote-debugging-port. The library is designed as a component to import into larger automation frameworks rather than a standalone tool.

The package has no external runtime dependencies, making installation straightforward. It supports Python 3.8 onward and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Because it's built on autogenerated CDP utilities, it aims to keep pace with the Chrome DevTools Protocol specification.

Use it for:

• Integrate CDP-based browser control into existing Python automation frameworks without adding driver dependencies
• Connect to and control a Chromium instance remotely when the debugging port is accessible
• Build custom browser automation scripts that leverage CDP commands directly for fine-grained control
• Enable multiple automation frameworks to control the same browser instance simultaneously via CDP
• Reduce automation stack complexity by replacing external driver requirements with native CDP bindings

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

MyCDP provides autogenerated Chrome DevTools Protocol utilities for Python-based browser automation without external drivers, enabling direct Chromium control or connection to existing browser instances via remote debugging.

Yes. MyCDP is actively maintained, has zero known vulnerabilities, carries a permissive MIT license, and installs with no external dependencies. It fills a specific role—making CDP accessible to Python automation frameworks—and is already adopted by established projects. Install it if you need CDP-based browser automation or want to add CDP capabilities to an existing framework.

Install

mycdp on PyPI

poetry add mycdp

Installing mycdp

Before you install

Low friction install with no runtime dependencies. Actively maintained as of June 2026, with recent releases and a stable codebase supporting Python 3.8 through 3.15.

License in practice

MIT license permits free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions, making it suitable for both open-source and commercial projects.

Quickstart

pip install mycdp

import mycdp
# Connect to Chromium via remote-debugging-port or use CDP commands directly

Verify before relying

• Whether MyCDP works with all Chromium versions or has specific version requirements
• Performance characteristics compared to other CDP bindings or automation approaches
• Completeness of CDP protocol coverage relative to the full Chrome DevTools Protocol specification
