WebDriverIO MCP Server

Official

execute_script

Execute custom JavaScript in browser page context or Appium mobile commands to interact with DOM, trigger events, or run mobile actions when no dedicated tool is available.

Instructions

Executes arbitrary JavaScript in browser page context or Appium mobile: commands. Can read/modify DOM, trigger events, terminate apps, or run Android shell commands — use only when no dedicated tool covers the action. Browser: pass JS in script, use 'return' for values, string args matching selectors auto-resolve to elements. Mobile: use 'mobile: ' syntax in script with args array (e.g. "mobile: pressKey", "mobile: activateApp"). Prefer click_element/set_value/get_elements for standard interactions.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
scriptYesJavaScript code (browser) or mobile command string like "mobile: pressKey" (Appium)
argsNoArguments to pass to the script. For browser: element selectors or values. For mobile commands: command-specific parameters as objects.
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations only provide destructiveHint=false. Description adds details like DOM read/modify, event trigger, app termination, shell command execution, which covers behavioral traits beyond annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with core purpose, then usage guidelines, then specific syntax. Each sentence adds value without redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Covers browser and mobile contexts, usage boundaries, and examples. Lacks output description but no output schema exists; could mention error handling or return format details.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema covers both parameters with descriptions; description further enriches: explains return usage for browser, auto-resolution for selectors, and mobile command syntax with args array examples.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clear specification: executes JavaScript in browser or Appium mobile commands. Differentiates from standard interaction tools by advising to use them instead when possible.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicit when-to-use: only when no dedicated tool covers the action. Provides browser and mobile syntax guidance and recommends alternatives like click_element, set_value, get_elements.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
