Communication Performance Optimization for MCP Protocol
The streaming HTTP connection used by Chrome MCP Server is one of its core technical advantages. While traditional browser automation tools usually use polling or short connections, the MCP protocol implements:
- Persistent Duplex Channel: Establish a long connection on port localhost:12306 to avoid the overhead of repeated handshakes
- message chunking: Streaming processing with generation-while-transmitting support, especially suitable for large web content analysis
- SIMD acceleration: Optimize vector arithmetic with WebAssembly for a 4-8x speedup in real-world semantic search.
Performance tests show that when completing the composite task of "auto-fill form + screenshot + content analysis", the latency can be reduced by 60% compared with the traditional solution. This design enables the AI assistant to respond to commands at a near real-time level, providing a technical guarantee for high-frequency interaction scenarios.
