  }
}

Tools

Navigation

  • connect -- attach to a running Chrome (debugger URL or auto_discover)
  • navigate -- go to URL
  • page -- manage pages/sessions (back, forward, reload, new, close, select, list, close_browser)

Interaction

  • click / click_at / hover / fill / fill_form / type_text / press_key / drag / scroll / select_option / upload_file

Content

  • snapshot -- accessibility tree snapshot with depth limiting and incremental tracking
  • screenshot -- visual capture (PNG/JPEG/WebP)
  • evaluate -- run JavaScript
  • wait_for -- wait for selector or text
  • search_page -- grep-like text search with context
  • find_elements -- list elements matching a CSS or rich selector
  • get_markdown -- extract page as clean markdown

State

  • cookies -- get/set/delete/clear cookies
  • storage -- get/set/list/clear localStorage
  • emulate -- viewport, user agent, geolocation, network conditions
  • diagnostics -- console messages, network requests, performance tracing

Sessions

All tools accept an optional session parameter (default: "default"). Different sessions have isolated cookies, localStorage, and network state. Use for multi-user testing or parallel automation.

session: "admin"      -- isolated context named "admin"
session: "staging:qa" -- context "qa" on Chrome instance "staging"

Accessibility Snapshots

The snapshot tool returns an LLM-optimized accessibility tree with [ref=eN] identifiers. Use these refs with click/hover/fill tools for precise element targeting.

### Page
- URL: https://example.com
- Title: Example

### Snapshot
- heading "Example Domain" [ref=e1] [level=1]
- paragraph "This domain is for..." [ref=e2]
- link "More information..." [ref=e3] [url=https://www.iana.org/...]
