- index.ts:225-259 (handler)Switch case implementing the puppeteer_screenshot tool: sets viewport, takes screenshot of page or selected element, stores it, and returns image content.
case "puppeteer_screenshot": { const width = args.width ?? 800; const height = args.height ?? 600; await page.setViewport({ width, height }); const screenshot = await (args.selector ? (await page.$(args.selector))?.screenshot({ encoding: "base64" }) : page.screenshot({ encoding: "base64", fullPage: false })); if (!screenshot) { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: args.selector ? `Element not found: ${args.selector}` : "Screenshot failed", }], isError: true, }; } screenshots.set(args.name, screenshot); server.notification({ method: "notifications/resources/list_changed", }); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Screenshot '${args.name}' taken at ${width}x${height}`, }, { type: "image", data: screenshot, mimeType: "image/png", }, ], isError: false, }; } - index.ts:114-127 (schema)Input schema for puppeteer_screenshot tool defining parameters: name (required), selector, width, height.
