Instructions

Fill multiple form fields at once.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
elementsYesArray of {uid, value} pairs

Implementation Reference

  • Tool schema definition including inputSchema for validating the 'elements' array of {uid, value} pairs.
    export const fillFormByUidTool = { name: 'fill_form_by_uid', description: 'Fill multiple form fields at once.', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { elements: { type: 'array', description: 'Array of {uid, value} pairs', items: { type: 'object', properties: { uid: { type: 'string', description: 'Field UID', }, value: { type: 'string', description: 'Field value', }, }, required: ['uid', 'value'], }, }, }, required: ['elements'], }, };
  • Primary MCP handler: validates input, retrieves Firefox instance, executes fillFormByUid on Firefox facade, handles UID staleness errors.
    export async function handleFillFormByUid(args: unknown): Promise<McpToolResponse> { try { const { elements } = args as { elements: Array<{ uid: string; value: string }> }; if (!elements || !Array.isArray(elements) || elements.length === 0) { throw new Error('elements parameter is required and must be a non-empty array'); } // Validate all elements for (const el of elements) { if (!el.uid || typeof el.uid !== 'string') { throw new Error(`Invalid element: uid is required and must be a string`); } if (el.value === undefined || typeof el.value !== 'string') { throw new Error(`Invalid element for uid "${el.uid}": value must be a string`); } } const { getFirefox } = await import('../index.js'); const firefox = await getFirefox(); try { await firefox.fillFormByUid(elements); return successResponse(`✅ filled ${elements.length} fields`); } catch (error) { const errorMsg = (error as Error).message; if (errorMsg.includes('stale') || errorMsg.includes('Snapshot') || errorMsg.includes('UID')) { throw new Error(`UIDs stale/invalid. Call take_snapshot first.`); } throw error; } } catch (error) { return errorResponse(error as Error); } }
  • src/index.ts:131-147 (registration)
    Registration of the fill_form_by_uid handler in the central toolHandlers Map used by the MCP server.
    ['click_by_uid', tools.handleClickByUid], ['hover_by_uid', tools.handleHoverByUid], ['fill_by_uid', tools.handleFillByUid], ['drag_by_uid_to_uid', tools.handleDragByUidToUid], ['fill_form_by_uid', tools.handleFillFormByUid], ['upload_file_by_uid', tools.handleUploadFileByUid], // Screenshot ['screenshot_page', tools.handleScreenshotPage], ['screenshot_by_uid', tools.handleScreenshotByUid], // Utilities ['accept_dialog', tools.handleAcceptDialog], ['dismiss_dialog', tools.handleDismissDialog], ['navigate_history', tools.handleNavigateHistory], ['set_viewport_size', tools.handleSetViewportSize], ]);
  • src/index.ts:175-181 (registration)
    Registration of fillFormByUidTool (with schema) in the allTools array returned by listTools.
    tools.clickByUidTool, tools.hoverByUidTool, tools.fillByUidTool, tools.dragByUidToUidTool, tools.fillFormByUidTool, tools.uploadFileByUidTool,
  • Core implementation: Iterates over elements array, resolves each UID to WebElement, calls fillByUid (clear + sendKeys) on each.
    async fillFormByUid(elements: Array<{ uid: string; value: string }>): Promise<void> { if (!this.resolveUid) { throw new Error( 'fillFormByUid: resolveUid callback not set. Ensure snapshot is initialized.' ); } for (const { uid, value } of elements) { await this.fillByUid(uid, value); } }
