Implementation Reference
- src/controllers/playwright.ts:854-867 (handler)The main handler function in PlaywrightController that moves the mouse to the specified coordinates using Playwright's page.mouse.move().async mouseMove(x: number, y: number): Promise<void> { try { if (!this.isInitialized() || !this.state.page) { throw new Error('Browser not initialized'); } this.log('Moving mouse', { x, y }); await this.state.page.mouse.move(x, y); this.currentMousePosition = { x, y }; this.log('Mouse move complete'); } catch (error: any) { console.error('Mouse move error:', error); throw new BrowserError('Failed to move mouse', 'Check if coordinates are valid'); } }
- src/server.ts:463-474 (schema)Defines the Tool object for mouseMove, including its input schema validating x and y as required numbers.const MOUSE_MOVE_TOOL: Tool = { name: "mouseMove", description: "Move mouse to specific coordinates", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { x: { type: "number" }, y: { type: "number" } }, required: ["x", "y"] } };
- src/server.ts:555-565 (registration)Registers the tools object (which includes mouseMove) with the MCP Server instance via capabilities.const server = new Server( { name: "playmcp-browser", version: "1.0.0", }, { capabilities: { tools, }, } );
- src/server.ts:514-553 (registration)Includes the mouseMove tool in the tools object used for MCP server registration. Note: excerpt abbreviated for brevity.const tools = { openBrowser: OPEN_BROWSER_TOOL, navigate: NAVIGATE_TOOL, type: TYPE_TOOL, click: CLICK_TOOL, moveMouse: MOVE_MOUSE_TOOL, scroll: SCROLL_TOOL, screenshot: SCREENSHOT_TOOL, getPageSource: GET_PAGE_SOURCE_TOOL, getPageText: GET_PAGE_TEXT_TOOL, getPageTitle: GET_PAGE_TITLE_TOOL, getPageUrl: GET_PAGE_URL_TOOL, getScripts: GET_SCRIPTS_TOOL, getStylesheets: GET_STYLESHEETS_TOOL, getMetaTags: GET_META_TAGS_TOOL, getLinks: GET_LINKS_TOOL, getImages: GET_IMAGES_TOOL, getForms: GET_FORMS_TOOL, getElementContent: GET_ELEMENT_CONTENT_TOOL, getElementHierarchy: GET_ELEMENT_HIERARCHY_TOOL, executeJavaScript: EXECUTE_JAVASCRIPT_TOOL, goForward: GO_FORWARD_TOOL, hover: HOVER_TOOL, dragAndDrop: DRAG_AND_DROP_TOOL, selectOption: SELECT_OPTION_TOOL, pressKey: PRESS_KEY_TOOL, waitForText: WAIT_FOR_TEXT_TOOL, waitForSelector: WAIT_FOR_SELECTOR_TOOL, resize: RESIZE_TOOL, handleDialog: HANDLE_DIALOG_TOOL, getConsoleMessages: GET_CONSOLE_MESSAGES_TOOL, getNetworkRequests: GET_NETWORK_REQUESTS_TOOL, uploadFiles: UPLOAD_FILES_TOOL, evaluateWithReturn: EVALUATE_WITH_RETURN_TOOL, takeScreenshot: TAKE_SCREENSHOT_TOOL, mouseMove: MOUSE_MOVE_TOOL, mouseClick: MOUSE_CLICK_TOOL, mouseDrag: MOUSE_DRAG_TOOL, closeBrowser: CLOSE_BROWSER_TOOL };
- src/server.ts:958-969 (helper)The dispatch logic in the callTool request handler that validates inputs and calls the controller's mouseMove method.case 'mouseMove': { if (typeof args.x !== 'number' || typeof args.y !== 'number') { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: "X and Y coordinates are required" }], isError: true }; } await playwrightController.mouseMove(args.x, args.y); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: "Mouse moved successfully" }] }; }
