Implementation Reference
- src/server/EnhancedMCPServerFixed.ts:129-132 (registration)Registration of the 'play' tool including name, description, and input schema in the tools list returned by getTools()
name: 'play', description: 'Start playing pattern', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {} } }, - MCP tool handler in executeTool switch statement - delegates to StrudelController.play()
case 'play': return await this.controller.play(); - src/StrudelController.ts:212-223 (handler)Core implementation of play functionality: sends keyboard shortcut to Strudel browser to start playback and updates internal state
async play(): Promise<string> { if (!this._page) throw new Error('Browser not initialized. Run init tool first.'); // Always use keyboard shortcut for speed await this._page.keyboard.press('ControlOrMeta+Enter'); // Reduced wait time await this._page.waitForTimeout(100); this.isPlaying = true; return 'Playing'; }
