## Decision facts: oh-my-openagent

- **Adopt for:** Decisive facts about oh-my-openagent.

## Choose when

### Choose chrome-devtools-mcp if…

- License: chrome-devtools-mcp is Apache-2.0, oh-my-openagent is Other.
- Tags unique to chrome-devtools-mcp: devtools, mcp-server, debugging, chrome.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (93).

### Choose oh-my-openagent if…

- License: oh-my-openagent is Other, chrome-devtools-mcp is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to oh-my-openagent: ai, codex, chatgpt, claude.
- oh-my-openagent ships an MCP server manifest.
- When working with complex codebases and requiring integration with multiple AI systems like Anthropic, ChatGPT, and Claude for better code orchestration and lifecycle hook management.

## When NOT to use chrome-devtools-mcp

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.

## When NOT to use oh-my-openagent

- When your project is not reliant on AI integration or complex orchestration capabilities. For simpler codebases, its advanced features may be overkill.
- If your development environment does not support TypeScript or if you are exclusively working with Codex CLI and prefer a less integrated solution, opting for another tool could be more suitable since
