Usage statistics go to Google by default until you pass `--no-usage-statistics`.\n\n**TinyFish.** OpenAPI documents are published for five APIs, errors carry typed codes and request IDs, and Search and Fetch are free within daily allowances. The terms let Tiny Fish train its models on customer data, run creation takes no idempotency keys, and the status page shows an hour or more of downtime on several days for the Browser and Search APIs.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Chrome DevTools MCP\n\n1. Pass `pageId` on every page tool. Call `list_pages` first to get it\n2. Start with `--slim` for plain browsing, or turn off categories you don't need\n3. Run with `--isolated` for untrusted sites. The default profile persists between runs\n4. Use `filePath` on large outputs such as traces and snapshots to keep them out of context\n5. Add `--no-usage-statistics` if the operator hasn't agreed to Google telemetry\n\n### TinyFish\n\n1. Check `result` as well as `status`. A run can be `COMPLETED` while the goal failed, with `result.status` set to `failure`\n2. Don't retry `POST /v1/automation/run` blindly after a timeout. There are no idempotency keys, so list runs first to avoid duplicates\n3. Use `/v1/automation/run-async` or `/run-sse` when a run may need cancelling. Runs started with the synchronous endpoint can't be cancelled\n4. Allow 60 seconds for Browser session creation, connect Playwright to `cdp_url` (not `base_url`), and `DELETE` the session when done because billing is per minute\n5. Never put passwords in `goal`, which is logged. Pass `use_vault: true` with `credential_item_ids`, or `use_profile: true` for saved login state\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Chrome DevTools MCP or TinyFish?\n\nChrome DevTools MCP scores 77 (BB) on agent readiness against TinyFish's 67.7 (B), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Chrome DevTools MCP and TinyFish need an API key?\n\nChrome DevTools MCP needs no key. TinyFish takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Chrome DevTools MCP and TinyFish without installing anything?\n\nChrome DevTools MCP runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed. TinyFish has a hosted endpoint at https://agent.tinyfish.ai.\n\n### Are Chrome DevTools MCP and TinyFish open source?\n\nChrome DevTools MCP is open source (Apache-2.0). No open-source release is listed for TinyFish.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/chrome-devtools-mcp-vs-tinyfish.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/chrome-devtools-mcp-vs-tinyfish.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"chrome-devtools-mcp\", \"b\": \"tinyfish\"}`.
