These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

open

Open a browser session, or attach to a browser already running with a CDP endpoint. Call this first.

goto

Navigate the current tab to a URL.

snapshot

Accessibility tree of the page with a ref for each element. Use these refs with click and fill. Prefer this over screenshot for acting: it is exact and cheap.

screenshot

Image of the page. Use it to read visual content, verify a result, or work out coordinates for the mouse tool.

click

Click an element by its ref from snapshot. Blocked when the element looks irreversible unless confirm is true.

type

Type text into the focused element. Refused when a password field has focus.

fill

Fill a field identified by its ref. Refused on credential fields.

press

Press a key, for example Enter, Tab or ArrowDown.

mouse

Coordinate based mouse control for canvas, maps and custom widgets that have no accessible element. Take a screenshot first to read the coordinates.

tabs

List, open, select or close tabs.

history

Go back, go forward or reload.

status

Report the session, the mode and who holds the control lease. Pass takeover: true to hand control to the human before they act in the dashboard. Control comes back only when the human releases it on their machine, never through this tool.

set_mode

normal asks before sensitive actions. auto runs a complete objective end to end, stopping only for an empty login, an account choice, or an irreversible action.

desktop_start

Start the agent desktop, a nested X display in a resizable window. Required before any other desktop tool. Pass stop: true to shut it down.

desktop_windows

List the visible windows on the agent desktop, with id, title, class and geometry.

desktop_focus

Bring a window of the agent desktop to the front. Keyboard input goes to the focused window.

desktop_screenshot

Capture the agent desktop, or a single window of it. Use it to find coordinates before clicking.

desktop_click

Move the pointer of the agent desktop and click. Coordinates come from desktop_screenshot.

desktop_type

Type text into the focused window of the agent desktop. Typing into a terminal needs confirm, because a shell runs whatever it receives.

desktop_key

Press a key or combination on the agent desktop, for example Return, ctrl+c or alt+Tab.

desktop_launch

Start an application on the agent desktop, found by name in the desktop catalog. Applications outside the allowed list need confirm.

To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.

Dependencies

2 runtime dependencies, 1 flagged: @playwright/cli

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

21/21 tools missing one or more hints — open (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); goto (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); snapshot (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +18 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 4 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
