What is FlowLens?
FlowLens is a Chrome extension and open-source MCP server designed to make sharing web-app bugs with AI coding agents and human developers ridiculously easy and efficient. It automatically captures comprehensive context, including video, logs, network requests, and user actions, with a single click. This provides AI agents with rich, ready-to-use information for autonomous debugging, while also keeping token usage super efficient. It aims to help users fix bugs 10x faster by giving AI agents complete browser context.
How to use FlowLens?
To use FlowLens, first install the Chrome extension and optionally the MCP server for AI-powered debugging. When a bug occurs, click 'record' in the extension and reproduce the issue. FlowLens automatically captures video, console logs, network requests, and user actions. This complete context is then packaged into a single shareable link that both developers and AI agents can understand, enabling AI agents to debug autonomously without manual copy-pasting or back-and-forth.
How is FlowLens different from screen recording tools?
FlowLens captures far more than video—it records console logs, network requests, user actions, and system state. Most importantly, it packages everything in a format your AI coding agent can understand via MCP, turning context into actionable fixes.
Do I need to install anything besides the Chrome extension?
The Chrome extension is all you need to capture and share bugs. To enable AI-powered debugging with tools like Claude Code or Cursor, you'll also need to install the MCP server.
Is my data private and secure?
Yes. FlowLens is SOC 2 Type 1 compliant and applies PII redaction locally before any data leaves your machine. Built-in filtering lets you control what gets captured. Nothing leaves your browser without approval.
Which AI coding agents does FlowLens support?
FlowLens works exclusively with MCP-compatible agents, including Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and more. The MCP integration provides structured access to full flow data, enabling AI agents to debug with complete browser context.
Can I share flows with my team?
Yes! Create projects, invite team members, and share flows via links. Your team gets full bug context in one place.
What are instant replay flows?
Instant replay flows let you retroactively capture the last minute of browser activity without having to click record first. FlowLens continuously buffers recent events in the background, so when you encounter an unexpected bug, you can save what just happened with a single click.
What are local flows?
Local flows are stored only on your machine and never uploaded to the cloud. They're perfect for debugging sensitive data or working offline, and are available unlimited on all plans including Free.
What happens when I hit the shareable flow limit on the Free plan?
You can continue using FlowLens with unlimited local flows, but you won't be able to create new shareable flows until the next month or until you upgrade to Teams. Your existing shareable flows remain accessible.
Can I try Teams features before committing?
Yes! We're onboarding teams now with early access. Click "Get Early Access" on the Teams plan above to join the waitlist, and we'll reach out with details.
Do you offer discounts for open source projects?
Yes! Open source projects and non-profits qualify for free Teams plan access. Reach out to
[email protected] with details about your project.
