Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:38-57 (handler)Handler logic that processes the 'get_screenshot' tool result by formatting it as an image content object for MCP.
if (name === 'get_screenshot' && result.screenshot) { const screenshotStr = result.screenshot as string const base64Data = screenshotStr.replace( /^data:image\/\w+;base64,/, '' ) return { content: [ { type: 'image' as const, data: base64Data, mimeType: 'image/jpeg', }, { type: 'text' as const, text: `Screenshot of: ${result.title || 'unknown'} (${result.url || 'unknown'})`, }, ], } } - src/tools.ts:5-13 (schema)Definition and schema for the 'get_screenshot' tool.
{ name: 'get_screenshot', description: 'Capture a screenshot of the active browser window in Selenix playback. Returns a base64-encoded JPEG image.', inputSchema: { type: 'object' as const, properties: {}, }, }, - src/bridge-client.ts:24-72 (helper)The BridgeClient class acts as the transport layer, calling the Selenix backend API via HTTP. The tool handler uses this to fetch the actual screenshot data.
export class BridgeClient { async call(endpoint: string, body: Record<string, unknown> = {}): Promise<unknown> { // Re-read config on every call so we pick up new tokens after Selenix restarts const config = readConfig() return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { const data = JSON.stringify(body) const req = http.request( { hostname: '127.0.0.1', port: config.port, path: `/api/${endpoint}`, method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', Authorization: `Bearer ${config.token}`, 'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(data), }, timeout: 180000, // 3 minutes for long-running operations like run_test }, (res) => { let responseData = '' res.on('data', (chunk: string) => (responseData += chunk)) res.on('end', () => { try { resolve(JSON.parse(responseData)) } catch { resolve({ raw: responseData }) } }) } ) req.on('error', (err) => reject( new Error( `Cannot connect to Selenix bridge at 127.0.0.1:${config.port}. ` + `Is Selenix running with MCP Server enabled?
