Clickcast tools (12)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • click

    Click the first element matching ``selector``.

  • close_session

    Close the live session. Optionally flush the accumulated sidecar-shaped transcript (see ``docs/mcp-tool-schema.md``) to ``save_transcript`` — same JSON shape a batch ``run``/``auto`` sidecar has, minus the ``media`` block (no reel is encoded from a live session).

  • dblclick

    Double-click the first element matching ``selector``. See ``click``'s ``wait`` for triggering client-side navigation.

  • goto

    Navigate the active session to ``url``.

  • hover

    Hover the first element matching ``selector``.

  • press

    Press ``key``. Page-level keyboard when ``selector`` is omitted.

  • screenshot

    Capture the current page without performing any action.

  • scroll

    Scroll ``to`` a selector into view, or ``by`` pixels (window, or ``selector``'s container when given).

  • select

    Select ``value`` on the ``<select>`` matching ``into``.

  • start_session

    Open the one live browser session this server process holds.

  • type

    Type ``text`` into the first element matching ``into``.

  • wait

    Wait for a load state, a selector, or a number of seconds.

What the publisher says

From the Clickcast repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

🎞️ clickcast — Playwright browser automation, screenshots, and GIF/MP4/WebP recording for AI agents

Give AI agents visual + structured feedback about live web UIs — and give humans deterministic demo reels while you're at it.

What's new (v0.3.0) — live agent control via a new MCP server, pixel-level clickcast diff, accessibility semantics fused with the pixel-grid overlay, an official CI GitHub Action, day-one Homebrew/apt packaging, and a self-healing first run. See CHANGELOG.md for the full notes.

See docs/ONEPAGENAVIGATIONORDERTIPS.md for the nine principles behind why this reel reads as legibly as it does — and the scenario template you can copy for your own reels.

clickcast drives a real browser through a website and hands back two things:

  1. A watchable reel — GIF / MP4 / WebP / raw frames.
  2. A machine-readable JSON sidecar — every step's selector, timings, per-step frame paths, discovered elements, and post-action page state (title, URL, console errors, failed requests). Versioned. See docs/feedback-schema.md.

Point it at a URL and it will auto-discover the interactive elements and build a tour for you, or hand it a small YAML scenario for a scripted, repeatable walkthrough.

Install

One line, ready to run immediately after:

pip install clickcast && clickcast install --with-deps chromium && clickcast doctor

Broken down — pip install clickcast (requires Python ≥ 3.10) gets you the CLI; clickcast install downloads Chromium (~one-time, ~180MB — kept out of the pip package itself since it's versioned independently and every project doesn't need every engine); --with-deps also pulls the system libraries Chromium needs (Linux only, may prompt for sudo); clickcast doctor confirms everything above actually worked.

Forgot the second step? Any command that needs a browser (auto, run, shot, elements, mcp) detects a missing engine itself and offers to install it right then instead of failing — say yes once and it retries automatically. That prompt only fires in an interactive terminal; CI/scripted runs fail fast with the exact fix command instead of hanging on stdin.

Homebrew (macOS/Linux)

brew install --build-from-source ./Formula/clickcast.rb   # works today, clone this repo first
brew install AlexKay28/clickcast/clickcast                # tap not bootstrapped yet -- see docs/packaging/homebrew.md

apt (Debian/Ubuntu, .deb)

bash scripts/build_deb.sh 0.2.9 && sudo dpkg -i dist-deb/clickcast_0.2.9_amd64.deb   # works today, clone this repo first
sudo apt install clickcast                                                           # hosted repo not bootstrapped yet -- see docs/packaging/apt.md

Both native packages skip the Chromium download (~180MB, versioned independently of clickcast) and never install a second ffmpeg (clickcast already bundles one via imageio[ffmpeg]) -- run clickcast install --with-deps chromium once after either install path. Full design rationale, what's live today vs. what needs one-time bootstrapping, and the exact bootstrap steps: docs/packaging/homebrew.md, docs/packaging/apt.md.
