list_pages/new_page time out with ProtocolError: Network.enable timed out when using --autoConnect (Chrome 144, OpenCode)

[alexaaaaaander]

What I'm doing

• MCP client: OpenCode (local MCP server)
• chrome-devtools-mcp started via:
  • npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest --autoConnect --channel=stable --logFile <path>
• Chrome setup:
  • Chrome 144 stable
  • Enabled in Chrome UI: chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging (checkbox "Allow remote debugging for this browser instance")
  • Accepted the "Allow remote debugging?" permission prompt

Expected

• list_pages returns open tabs/pages.
• new_page can open a URL.

Actual

• MCP client reports request timeout on list_pages.
• Server log shows list_pages and new_page failing with CDP/Puppeteer protocol timeouts, especially Network.enable timed out.

Versions

• chrome-devtools-mcp: 0.15.1
• Chrome: 144.0.7559.110
• Node: v24.11.1
• OpenCode: 1.1.48

Notes

• Using --autoConnect as documented (Chrome 144+).
• Happy to provide a larger log privately, but it includes browsing URLs/titles so I'm not pasting it here.

Thanks for reporting! It looks very similar to #775 Could you try the suggestions from there and confirm whether you have the "continue where you left off" setting?
