Technical requirements for key installation configurations
To ensure the full functionality of the MCP service, the installation process requires attention to the following technical details:
- version compatibility: Node.js must be ≥18.19.0 to support ES2022 features
- Package Manager Configuration: pnpm v7+ users need to set it explicitly
enable-pre-post-scripts=true
- Manual registration mechanism: When auto-enrollment fails, you need to execute the
mcp-chrome-bridge register
command - Firewall exceptions: need to allow inbound connections on port localhost:12306
Typical Installation Problems 90% stems from the default security restrictions of pnpm, which can be realized after correct configuration: extension auto-update, protocol processor registration, service background resident and other core functions.Windows users should also be aware of the possibility that antivirus software may mistakenly intercept the bridge process.
