Implementation Reference
- src/tools/elementTools.ts:265-292 (registration)Registers the 'browser_element_is_selected' MCP tool, providing the schema and a thin async handler that instantiates ElementService and calls its isElementSelected method, returning formatted text response.
server.tool( 'browser_element_is_selected', 'Checks if an element is selected', { ...locatorSchema }, async ({ by, value, timeout = 15000 }) => { try { const driver = stateManager.getDriver(); const elementService = new ElementService(driver); const isSelected = await elementService.isElementSelected({ by, value, timeout, }); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Element is selected: ${isSelected}` }], }; } catch (e) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Error checking element selected status: ${(e as Error).message}`, }, ], }; } } ); - src/services/elementService.ts:68-75 (helper)Core helper method in ElementService that finds the element using locator params and checks if it is selected via Selenium WebElement.isSelected(), returning false on error.
async isElementSelected(params: LocatorParams): Promise<boolean> { try { const element = await this.findElement(params); return element.isSelected(); } catch { return false; } } - src/types/index.ts:29-35 (schema)Zod schema defining the input parameters for element locators (by, value, optional timeout), used by the tool.
export const locatorSchema = { by: z .enum(['id', 'css', 'xpath', 'name', 'tag', 'class', 'link', 'partialLink']) .describe('Locator strategy to find element'), value: z.string().describe('Value for the locator strategy'), timeout: z.number().optional().describe('Maximum time to wait for element in milliseconds'), };
