-## Notes
-- Portproxy check expects forwarding from the detected Windows host IP to `127.0.0.1:9222`.
-- Chrome launch is skipped when port 9222 already listens on Windows (assumed active remote-debug session).
-- For a different remote debugging port or Chrome path, edit `PORT` or `WINDOWS_CHROME_PATH` in `start_chrome_wsl.sh`.
+## Docker
+
+`chrome-wsl` can also take care of starting a proxy inside the Docker container and allow to access the MCP server from localhost. It helps to use the same Chrome DevTools MCP configuration for agents running inside the docker container as well as outside.

+npx @dbalabka/chrome-wsl --stop --container=<name>
+npx @dbalabka/chrome-wsl --uninstall --container=<name>
