Implementation Reference

  • The handler function for the 'browser_get_cookie_by_name' tool. It gets the WebDriver from stateManager, creates a CookieService instance, calls getCookieByName on it, and returns the result as text content.
    async ({ name }) => {
      const driver = stateManager.getDriver();
      const cookieService = new CookieService(driver);
      const cookieValue = await cookieService.getCookieByName(name);
      return {
        content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Cookie: ${cookieValue}` }],
      };
    }
  • Zod input schema defining the 'name' parameter as a required string.
    {
      name: z.string().describe('Name of the cookie to get'),
    },
  • Registration of the 'browser_get_cookie_by_name' tool on the MCP server using server.tool(), including description, schema, and handler.
    server.tool(
      'browser_get_cookie_by_name',
      'Get a cookie by name',
      {
        name: z.string().describe('Name of the cookie to get'),
      },
      async ({ name }) => {
        const driver = stateManager.getDriver();
        const cookieService = new CookieService(driver);
        const cookieValue = await cookieService.getCookieByName(name);
        return {
          content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Cookie: ${cookieValue}` }],
        };
      }
    );
  • Core helper method in CookieService class that retrieves a cookie by name using Selenium WebDriver's getCookie method and returns an object with name and value or null.
    async getCookieByName(name: string): Promise<any | null> {
      const cookie = await this.driver.manage().getCookie(name);
      return cookie ? { name: cookie.name, value: cookie.value } : null;
    }
