Implementation Reference

  • Registration of the 'browser_submit_form' tool using server.tool, including inline handler that delegates to ActionService.submitForm and error handling.
    server.tool('browser_submit_form', 'Submit a form', { ...locatorSchema }, async ({ by, value }) => {
      try {
        const driver = stateManager.getDriver();
        const actionService = new ActionService(driver);
        await actionService.submitForm({ by, value });
        return {
          content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Submitted form` }],
        };
      } catch (e) {
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: 'text',
              text: `Error submitting form: ${(e as Error).message}`,
            },
          ],
        };
      }
    });
  • Core handler logic in ActionService that locates the form using LocatorFactory and submits it using Selenium WebDriver's form.submit() method.
    async submitForm(params: LocatorParams): Promise<void> {
      const locator = LocatorFactory.createLocator(params.by, params.value);
      const form = await this.driver.wait(until.elementLocated(locator), params.timeout || 15000);
      await form.submit();
    }
  • Zod schema defining the input parameters for locators (by, value, timeout), spread into the tool's input schema.
    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'),
    };
