Semantic DOM Filter MCP Server

A high-pass filter that sits between chaotic web pages and clean LLM context windows. Converts ~100KB HTML into ~2KB Semantic Markdown with integer IDs, eliminating selector hallucination and dramatically reducing token usage.

string

URL to navigate to

task_intent

What you're trying to do (guides filtering)

Intent-guided filtering:

  • "read content" / "find pricing" → prunes navigation, footers

  • "fill form" / "login" → focuses on inputs, buttons

  • "find X" / "navigate" → keeps navigation, prunes long text

perform_action

Execute an action and get back only what changed (semantic diff).

Parameter

Type

Description

action

enum

click, type, select, hover, scroll, wait, press_key, go_back, go_forward, navigate

id

number?

Semantic ID of the target element

value

string?

Text to type, option to select, scroll direction, key to press

url

string?

URL for navigate action

get_current_state

Re-extract the semantic map without navigating. Useful to refresh after multiple actions.

Parameter

Type

task_intent

string?

Optionally change the intent filter

get_screenshot

Capture a PNG screenshot of the current viewport.

Parameter

Type

Description

full_page

boolean?

Capture the full scrollable page

Output Format

# Example Page
**URL:** https://example.com
**Task:** find the pricing table
**Stats:** 23 semantic nodes (filtered from 847 raw nodes)

## Page Structure
- **main**: "Main Content" (312 nodes)
- **navigation**: "Primary Nav" (45 nodes)

## Semantic Map

[Heading(1): "Pricing Plans", id=1]
[Text: "Choose the plan that works for you"]
[Button: "Monthly", id=3, selected]
[Button: "Annual", id=4]
[Heading(2): "Starter", id=5]
[Text: "$9/month"]
[Button: "Get Started", id=7]
[Heading(2): "Pro", id=8]
[Text: "$29/month"]
[Button: "Get Started", id=10]

Semantic Diff (after actions)

Instead of re-sending the whole page:

**Action:** click on id=3
**Result:** Changes detected

## Changes
Modified:
  [Button, id=3]: state.pressed: "unset" → "true"
Added: [Text: "Billed monthly"]
Removed: [Text: "Billed annually"]

Setup

npm install
npm run build
