πŸ“‘ API Usage

MCP JSON-RPC Endpoint

POST http://localhost:3000/mcp

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "browser.start_session",
    "arguments": {
      "opts": {
        "headless": false,
        "viewport": {"w": 1280, "h": 720}
      }
    }
  }
}

WebSocket Connection

Connect to ws://localhost:3000/ws for real-time updates:

const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:3000/ws');
ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
  if (data.event === 'tool_call') {
    console.log('Tool called:', data.data);
  }
};

REST Endpoints

  • GET /health - Server health status

  • GET /tools - List all available tools

  • GET /sessions - List active sessions

  • GET /logs - Recent tool call logs

🌐 Browser Automation

Dynamic Session Tools

When you create a browser session, session-specific tools are automatically registered:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "browser.start_session",
    "arguments": {"opts": {"headless": true}}
  }
}

Response:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": {
    "session_id": "abc123..."
  }
}

This creates tools like:

  • browser.abc123.open - Navigate to URL with screenshot

  • browser.abc123.click - Click elements with visual feedback

  • browser.abc123.type - Type text into form fields

  • browser.abc123.screenshot - Capture screen with MCP image format

  • browser.abc123.act - AI-driven automation with Gemini

  • browser.abc123.record - Start/stop session recording

  • browser.abc123.replay - Replay recorded sessions

  • browser.abc123.get_har - Get HAR (HTTP Archive) data

AI-Driven Browser Automation

  "result": {
    "content": [
      {
        "type": "image",

        "mimeType": "image/png"
      }
    ],
    "width": 1280,
    "height": 720,
    "url": "https://example.com"
  }
}

Images are automatically:

  • Captured as PNG format

  • Encoded as base64 in MCP content format

  • Include proper MIME type

  • Support cropping and redaction

  • Embedded directly in responses (no external references)

Adding New Namespaces

  1. Create types in src/types/yournamespace.ts

  2. Implement namespace class in src/namespaces/yournamespace.ts

  3. Register with server in src/server.ts

  4. Add dashboard components if needed

  5. Update documentation

Testing

# Run smoke tests
npm run test

# Test specific functionality
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

# Test browser automation
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "browser.start_session",
      "arguments": {"opts": {"headless": true}}
    }
  }'

# Test database connection
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 2,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "db.start_connection",
      "arguments": {
        "opts": {
          "driver": "sqlite",
          "dsn": ":memory:"
        }
      }
    }
  }'

πŸ”’ Security Considerations

  • Secrets: AES-256 encrypted, never logged in plaintext, only keys logged

  • Environment: Sensitive env vars masked in info display

  • WebDriver: Runs locally by default, configure remote carefully

  • CORS: Restricted to dashboard origins by default

  • File Uploads: Limited to 50MB, disabled by default

  • Rate Limiting: Built-in 429 handling, implement upstream if needed

  • Redaction: Frame redaction for recording privacy

  • Session Isolation: Each browser/db session is isolated

πŸš€ Deployment

Local Development

🚨 Known Limitations & Compatibility

  • Node.js Version: Some packages require Node.js 20+. Version 19.3.0 works with polyfills but Node.js 20+ recommended.

  • Image Processing: Full image features require Node.js 20+ for optimal performance. Node.js 19.x uses canvas fallback.

  • Platform Services: The node-windows/node-linux/node-mac packages are platform-specific and marked as optional dependencies.

  • Browser Requirements: Chrome/Chromium required for browser automation features.

πŸ› οΈ Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Server fails to start

  • Check Node.js version (18+ required, 20+ recommended)

  • Verify port is not in use: lsof -ti:3000

  • Check environment variables in .env

Browser automation fails

  • Install Chrome/Chromium

  • Check if running in headless mode

  • Verify WEB_DRIVER_REMOTE_URL if using remote

Dashboard not loading

  • Build dashboard: cd dashboard && npm run build

  • Check if files exist in dashboard/dist/

  • Verify CORS settings

Tools not appearing

  • Check server logs for registration errors

  • Verify sessions are being created properly

  • Use /tools endpoint to debug

WebSocket connection fails

  • Check firewall settings

  • Verify WebSocket is enabled in config

  • Test with simple WebSocket client

Service installation fails

  • Windows: Run PowerShell/Command Prompt as Administrator

  • Linux: Use sudo for system service installation

  • macOS: Check user permissions for LaunchAgent directory

  • Verify Node.js path is accessible to service user

PWA install not available

  • Use Chrome, Edge, or Safari (PWA-compatible browser)

  • Ensure HTTPS or localhost (required for PWA)

  • Check if service worker registered successfully

Debug Mode

Run with debug logging:

LOG_LEVEL=debug npm run dev

Health Check

curl http://localhost:3000/health
