Implementation Reference
- tools-playwright.js:27-30 (handler)Handler function for the 'navigate' MCP tool. Destructures the input URL and delegates to the browser wrapper's navigate method, returning a success response with confirmation message.
handler: async ({ url }) => { await browser.navigate(url); return { success: true, message: `Navigated to ${url}` }; } - tools-playwright.js:20-26 (schema)Input schema definition for the 'navigate' tool, specifying a required 'url' parameter of type string.
inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { url: { type: 'string', description: 'The URL to navigate to' } }, required: ['url'] }, - tools-playwright.js:17-31 (registration)Complete registration object for the 'navigate' tool within the createPlaywrightTools function's returned array. This object is included in the main tools list used by the MCP server.
{ name: 'navigate', description: 'Navigate to a URL', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { url: { type: 'string', description: 'The URL to navigate to' } }, required: ['url'] }, handler: async ({ url }) => { await browser.navigate(url); return { success: true, message: `Navigated to ${url}` }; } }, - browser.js:64-67 (helper)Supporting 'navigate' method in SimpleBrowser class. Ensures browser is launched and uses Playwright's page.goto to navigate to the specified URL.
async navigate(url) { await this.ensureLaunched(); await this.page.goto(url); } - index.js:74-76 (registration)Final registration step in MCP server initialization: calls createTools (which includes 'navigate') to populate the tools array used in MCP tool listing and execution handlers.
// Register all available automation tools const tools = createTools(browser);
