Implementation Reference

  • index.js:391-396 (registration)
    Registration and handler setup for 'browser_press_key'. It uses `proxyToolCall` to delegate the actual operation to a browser client.
    server.tool('browser_press_key', 'Press key', { key: z.string() },
      async (args) => {
        const check = requireActivePage();
        if (check) return check;
        return proxyToolCall('browser_press_key', args);
      });
  • Helper function that executes tool calls on the connected browser client.
    async function proxyToolCall(toolName, args) {
      log(`[proxyToolCall] ${toolName} with args: ${JSON.stringify(args)}`);
      const { client } = await getOrCreateInstance();
      log(`[proxyToolCall] got client for port ${assignedPort}`);
    
      // Update last used
      if (assignedPort && instances.has(assignedPort)) {
        instances.get(assignedPort).lastUsed = Date.now();
      }
    
      try {
        log(`[proxyToolCall] Calling client.callTool...`);
        const result = await client.callTool({ name: toolName, arguments: args || {} });
        log(`[proxyToolCall] Result type: ${typeof result}`);
        log(`[proxyToolCall] Result: ${JSON.stringify(result).slice(0, 500)}`);
    
        // The SDK returns { content: [...], isError?: boolean }
        // We need to return this same format
        if (result && result.content) {
          return result;
        }
    
        // Fallback: wrap in content array if needed
        return {
          content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result) }]
        };
      } catch (error) {
