Implementation Reference

  • Handler function that implements the core logic of the 'browser_wait_for' tool: validates params, waits for time if specified, locates elements by text using Playwright, waits for visibility or hidden state, generates corresponding code snippet, and returns execution result.
    handle: async (context, params) => {
      if (!params.text && !params.textGone && !params.time)
        throw new Error('Either time, text or textGone must be provided');
    
      const code: string[] = [];
    
      if (params.time) {
        code.push(`await new Promise(f => setTimeout(f, ${params.time!} * 1000));`);
        await new Promise(f => setTimeout(f, Math.min(10000, params.time! * 1000)));
      }
    
      const tab = context.currentTabOrDie();
      const locator = params.text ? tab.page.getByText(params.text).first() : undefined;
      const goneLocator = params.textGone ? tab.page.getByText(params.textGone).first() : undefined;
    
      if (goneLocator) {
        code.push(`await page.getByText(${JSON.stringify(params.textGone)}).first().waitFor({ state: 'hidden' });`);
        await goneLocator.waitFor({ state: 'hidden' });
      }
    
      if (locator) {
        code.push(`await page.getByText(${JSON.stringify(params.text)}).first().waitFor({ state: 'visible' });`);
        await locator.waitFor({ state: 'visible' });
      }
    
      return {
        code,
        captureSnapshot,
        waitForNetwork: false,
      };
    },
  • Input schema and metadata for the 'browser_wait_for' tool, using Zod for validation of optional time, text, and textGone parameters.
    schema: {
      name: 'browser_wait_for',
      title: 'Wait for',
      description: 'Wait for text to appear or disappear or a specified time to pass',
      inputSchema: z.object({
        time: z.coerce.number().optional().describe('The time to wait in seconds'),
        text: z.string().optional().describe('The text to wait for'),
        textGone: z.string().optional().describe('The text to wait for to disappear'),
      }),
      type: 'readOnly',
    },
  • Exports a tool factory function that registers the 'browser_wait_for' tool (via the 'wait' factory) for inclusion in the MCP tools list.
    export default (captureSnapshot: boolean) => [
      wait(captureSnapshot),
    ];
