Proposal: Enabling Extension Action Automation via CDP

[Nicholas Roscino]

Hi team,

I've written a design proposal for "Enabling Extension Action Automation via CDP" and would like to share it with you.

The proposal discusses adding a new Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) command to allow programmatic triggering of browser extension actions (like clicking the extension's toolbar icon). This change aims to unblock end-to-end automated testing for extensions and enable the MCP server to interact with extensions.

Proposal: go/enabling-extension-action-via-cdp-proposal

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
Nick
