BrowserTap MCP server

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

• activate_tab
• call_extension
• capture_desktop_screenshot

  Capture the complete visible virtual desktop across all displays and return text metadata plus MCP image content; this is not a background-tab screenshot, save_path only adds a disk copy, and return_base64 is opt-in. width/height/left/top are PHYSICAL screen pixels and are exactly the range mouse_click accepts, unscaled.

• capture_page_screenshot
• cdp_batchwrite action

  Run a CDP bridge batch command; pass the full JSON command object as text.

• cdp_command

  Call one Chrome DevTools Protocol command. session_id accepts client:tabId; tab_id accepts either a native number or the same composite session string.

• close_tabs
• console_capture_start
• console_capture_stop
• create_bookmarkwrite action
• debugger_targets
• delete_cookieswrite action
• download_file
• execute_jswrite action

  Execute arbitrary JS in the requested real-browser tab under one total deadline. BTAP pins every monitor/retry/result roundtrip to an explicit session, uses the service-worker/page route first, and falls back to directed Runtime.evaluate on SPA/CSP bridge failures without retargeting. Use wait_for/wait_for_url instead of setTimeout or sleep Promises; BTAP retries only proven-undelivered work, neve

• extension_path

  Get absolute path to the unpacked Chrome extension directory for manual installation.

• get_automation_profile
• get_bookmarks

  Return the browser bookmark tree. Works with no tabs open.

• get_console_messages
• get_cookies

  Get cookies for the current page or specified tab via the Chrome extension bridge.

• get_setup_status

  Return component versions, stale-build actions, extension path, bridge ports, and connection status for setup/diagnostics.

• handle_dialog
• hotkeywrite action

  Send a hotkey chord like 'command,l' or 'ctrl,shift,p' via the real keyboard.

• list_all_tabs
• list_extensions

  List installed browser extensions (id, name, enabled, type, version). Works with no tabs open.

• list_tabs

  List connected tabs across all connected browsers; each tab has a browser field (chrome/edge/opera) and a session id to pass verbatim.

• mouse_click
• mouse_drag

  Drag the real mouse from one point to another, both in absolute virtual-desktop PHYSICAL screen pixels (see mouse_click for how that differs from page_drag's CSS pixels). Either endpoint on no display is refused with coordinates_off_screen.

• mouse_move

  Move the real mouse cursor to absolute virtual-desktop coordinates in PHYSICAL screen pixels (the space pointer_info and capture_desktop_screenshot report, not the CSS pixels page_click takes). A point on no display is refused with coordinates_off_screen rather than clamped to a screen edge.

• network_capture_start
• network_capture_stop
• open_new_tab

  Open one real-browser tab in the background by default with an operation_id-backed exactly-once create. Pass active=true only when foreground work is genuinely required. If the create ACK is lost, the same operation_id is reconciled within one total deadline; a completed result is registered only with its exact client_id, tab_id, and generation. Before create is dispatched, an unresolved probe ret

• open_url
• page_click
• page_drag
• page_press
• page_type
• pointer_info

  Report the current desktop mouse position and screen geometry in PHYSICAL pixels. screen_width/screen_height are the PRIMARY display only; screen_bounds is the virtual desktop across every display and is the range mouse_click will accept. These are not the CSS pixels the page_* tools take.
