Implementation Reference

  • The 'forward' tool handler function. Ensures browser is running, gets the page for the specified or active tabId, calls page.goForward(), and returns a success message.
    async forward(args = {}) { this.ensureBrowserRunning(); const { tabId } = args; const page = this.getPage(tabId); await page.goForward(); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Navigated forward in tab '${tabId || this.activeTabId}'` }] }; }
  • Tool schema definition including name, description, and inputSchema for optional tabId (string).
    { name: 'forward', description: 'Navigate forward', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { tabId: { type: 'string' } } } },
  • Registration in the CallToolRequestSchema switch statement that dispatches calls to the forward handler.
    case 'forward': return await this.forward(args);
  • The tool is listed in the ListToolsRequestSchema handler, making it discoverable by MCP clients.
    this.server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => { return { tools: [ // Original tools (abbreviated for space) { name: 'launch_firefox_multi', description: 'Launch Firefox browser
