Implementation Reference
- src/controllers/playwright.ts:151-164 (handler)Core handler function that performs the actual mouse movement using Playwright's page.mouse.move method. Updates current mouse position and includes error handling.
async moveMouse(x: number, y: number): Promise<void> { try { if (!this.isInitialized()) { throw new Error('Browser not initialized'); } this.log('Moving mouse to', { x, y }); await this.state.page?.mouse.move(x, y); this.currentMousePosition = { x, y }; this.log('Mouse move complete'); } catch (error: any) { console.error('Mouse move error:', error); throw new BrowserError('Failed to move mouse', 'Check if coordinates are within viewport'); } } - src/server.ts:625-636 (handler)MCP tool call handler in the server's request handler. Validates inputs and delegates to the Playwright controller's moveMouse method.
case 'moveMouse': { if (typeof args.x !== 'number' || typeof args.y !== 'number') { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: "X and Y coordinates are required" }], isError: true }; } await playwrightController.moveMouse(args.x, args.y); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: "Mouse moved successfully" }] }; } - src/server.ts:56-67 (schema)Defines the tool schema including name, description, and input validation schema for x and y coordinates.
const MOVE_MOUSE_TOOL: Tool = { name: "moveMouse", description: "Move mouse to coordinates", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { x: { type: "number" }, y: { type: "number" } }, required: ["x", "y"] } }; - src/server.ts:514-553 (registration)Registers the moveMouse tool (as MOVE_MOUSE_TOOL) in the tools dictionary passed to MCP server capabilities.
