🌐 Browser Automation
Dynamic Session Tools
When you create a browser session, session-specific tools are automatically registered:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "browser.start_session",
"arguments": {"opts": {"headless": true}}
}
}
Response:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"result": {
"session_id": "abc123..."
}
}
This creates tools like:
browser.abc123.open- Navigate to URL with screenshotbrowser.abc123.click- Click elements with visual feedbackbrowser.abc123.type- Type text into form fieldsbrowser.abc123.screenshot- Capture screen with MCP image formatbrowser.abc123.act- AI-driven automation with Geminibrowser.abc123.record- Start/stop session recordingbrowser.abc123.replay- Replay recorded sessionsbrowser.abc123.get_har- Get HAR (HTTP Archive) data

Adding New Namespaces
- Create types in
src/types/yournamespace.ts - Implement namespace class in
src/namespaces/yournamespace.ts - Register with server in
src/server.ts - Add dashboard components if needed
- Update documentation
Testing
# Run smoke tests
npm run test
# Test specific functionality
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'
# Test browser automation
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

🔒 Security Considerations
- Secrets: AES-256 encrypted, never logged in plaintext, only keys logged
- Environment: Sensitive env vars masked in info display
- WebDriver: Runs locally by default, configure remote carefully
- CORS: Restricted to dashboard origins by default
- File Uploads: Limited to 50MB, disabled by default
- Rate Limiting: Built-in 429 handling, implement upstream if needed
- Redaction: Frame redaction for recording privacy
- Session Isolation: Each browser/db session is isolated

🚨 Known Limitations & Compatibility
- Node.js Version: Some packages require Node.js 20+. Version 19.3.0 works with polyfills but Node.js 20+ recommended.
- Image Processing: Full image features require Node.js 20+ for optimal performance. Node.js 19.x uses canvas fallback.
- Platform Services: The node-windows/node-linux/node-mac packages are platform-specific and marked as optional dependencies.
- Browser Requirements: Chrome/Chromium required for browser automation features.
🛠️ Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Server fails to start
- Check Node.js version (18+ required, 20+ recommended)
- Verify port is not in use:
lsof -ti:3000 - Check environment variables in
.env
Browser automation fails
- Install Chrome/Chromium
- Check if running in headless mode
- Verify WEB_DRIVER_REMOTE_URL if using remote
Dashboard not loading
- Build dashboard:
cd dashboard && npm run build - Check if files exist in
dashboard/dist/ - Verify CORS settings
Tools not appearing
- Check server logs for registration errors
- Verify sessions are being created properly
- Use
/toolsendpoint to debug
WebSocket connection fails
- Check firewall settings
- Verify WebSocket is enabled in config
- Test with simple WebSocket client
Service installation fails
- Windows: Run PowerShell/Command Prompt as Administrator
- Linux: Use
sudofor system service installation - macOS: Check user permissions for LaunchAgent directory
- Verify Node.js path is accessible to service user
PWA install not available
- Use Chrome, Edge, or Safari (PWA-compatible browser)
- Ensure HTTPS or localhost (required for PWA)
- Check if service worker registered successfully
Debug Mode
Run with debug logging:
LOG_LEVEL=debug npm run dev
Health Check
curl http://localhost:3000/health
