Implementation Reference

  • The main handler logic for the 'puppeteer_screenshot' tool. Sets the viewport to specified dimensions, captures a screenshot of the entire page or a specific element using the provided selector, stores the base64-encoded image, notifies the client of resource changes, and returns the image along with a success message.
    case "puppeteer_screenshot": { const width = args.width ?? 800; const height = args.height ?? 600; await page.setViewport({ width, height }); const screenshot = await (args.selector ? (await page.$(args.selector))?.screenshot({ encoding: "base64" }) : page.screenshot({ encoding: "base64", fullPage: false })); if (!screenshot) { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: args.selector ? `Element not found: ${args.selector}` : "Screenshot failed", }], isError: true, }; } screenshots.set(args.name, screenshot); server.notification({ method: "notifications/resources/list_changed", }); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Screenshot '${args.name}' taken at ${width}x${height}`, }, { type: "image", data: screenshot, mimeType: "image/png", }, ], isError: false, }; }
  • The tool schema definition, specifying the name, description, and input schema with required 'name' parameter and optional 'selector', 'width', and 'height'.
    { name: "puppeteer_screenshot", description: "Take a screenshot of the current page or a specific element", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { name: { type: "string", description: "Name for the screenshot" }, selector: { type: "string", description: "CSS selector for element to screenshot" }, width: { type: "number", description: "Width in pixels (default: 800)" }, height: { type: "number", description: "Height in pixels (default: 600)" }, }, required: ["name"], }, },
  • index.ts:447-449 (registration)
    Registers the puppeteer_screenshot tool (among others) by including it in the TOOLS array returned in response to ListToolsRequest.
    server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => ({ tools: TOOLS, }));
  • index.ts:451-451 (registration)
    Registers the call handler for all tools, including puppeteer_screenshot, which dispatches to the specific implementation in handleToolCall.
    server.setRequestHandler(CallToolRequestSchema, async (request) => handleToolCall(request.params.name, request.params.arguments ?? {}));
