There are several browser extensions available to help debug and manage your micro-frontend applications. While we recommend the Zephyr Chrome Extension for the best experience with Zephyr Cloud, the Module Federation Devtools is also a useful option for general Module Federation debugging.
The Module Federation Devtools Chrome extension offers general Module Federation debugging capabilities:
Key Features
- Module proxy functionality - Test local modules against remote environments
- Dependency inspection - Visualize module relationships and shared dependencies
- Runtime debugging - Monitor module loading and interactions
Installation
- Install from Chrome Web Store
- Open Chrome DevTools (F12)

Best Use Cases

- Dependency analysis - Understand module relationships
Requirements
- Applications must use
mf-manifest.json for full functionality
- Local development server needed for proxy features
