Writ Cloud tools (40, 12 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postswrit_browser_actwrite actionFreeRuns one batch of actions on an open session and returns the fresh page. Each action is an object, e.g. {"action":"click","selector":"#go"}. DRIVE: navigate, click, fill, type_text, select, check, hover, submit, press_key, scroll, back, wait, wait_for. SEE: query_dom, find_text, read_text, count, get_attributes, inspect, list_candidates, get_dom, get_screenshot. NETWORK: capture_network, get_request, rotate_exit. CODE: evaluate_js, search_scripts, read_script. RECORD: extract {variable,script}, api_call, login_post, probe_write, confirm_write. 2FA: twofa {challenge_method}. A value written {{name}} with its real value in `inputs` becomes a workflow input. Each action's arguments: the session's start answer, or writ_help('writ_browser_act').
writ_browser_ask_userFreeHands an open session to the Writ user: kind='captcha' (they complete a security check in the live browser), 'twofa' (they supply the one-time code and Writ types it; the code never reaches this conversation), or 'question' (their text answer). Holds up to 60 s; answers answered, waiting_for_user (the same call again) or expired.
writ_browser_cancelwrite actionFreeCloses an open browser session (an open cloud browser bills until it is closed). Unsaved work that did more than visit pages is auto-saved first and the reply names it; discard=true keeps nothing.
writ_browser_composeFreeAuthors the workflow in an open session beyond a recording: named API functions (define_function from a captured call's index or a lists payload, live-tested as defined; compile_function for an authenticated request), set_inputs, add_steps, test_function, remove_function, remove_step, list. Payload shapes: writ_help('writ_browser_compose').
writ_browser_contextFreeRe-reads an open session: section=page (url, fields, buttons, cleaned DOM), lists (the page's repeating rows with a live-tested define_function payload for writ_browser_compose), map (the evidence of the build the session is bound to).
writ_browser_networkFreeSearches (operation=search, query, method) or reads in full (operation=detail, index) the backend requests the page made after capture_network: the site's real API. An index feeds writ_browser_compose define_function from_index.
writ_browser_saveFreeSaves the open session as a replayable workflow and closes the browser. Composed functions become callable API functions, declared inputs become its parameters. The answer carries the steps, the inputs and a run_example; the workflow runs at zero AI cost through writ_run_workflow. A save that references something no run could resolve is refused with the reasons, and the browser stays open.
writ_browser_sessionsFreeLists the account's open cloud browser sessions (each resumable by its session_id).
writ_browser_useFreeA REAL CLOUD BROWSER FOR A TASK ON A SITE: the user's signed-in account (a persona_id from writ_personas: the password stays sealed in Writ, and sessions never ask for a password), a click, form, submit or search inside an app, or a page a plain fetch cannot open (login wall, 403, CAPTCHA). Opens the browser and returns the first page; writ_browser_act drives it (Writ runs no model here). Recording is always on: writ_browser_save turns the session into a workflow that replays without a browser, writ_browser_cancel closes it (an open browser bills). The start answer carries the action vocabulary, the recording rules and, with a persona, the 2FA rules. NOT FOR: reading pages (writ_scrape) or building an API (writ_website_to_api).
writ_crawl_filesFreeThe original files (PDFs, office documents, images, CSVs) a crawl captured, with short-lived download URLs.
writ_crawl_siteFreeCOLLECTS a site or a section into a queryable, change-tracked dataset (one row per page). Scope: intent (a section, in plain words), rank_cap=N (the top N items of a listing), seed_urls (known pages), or the whole site capped by page_budget. Modes: markdown (default, no AI), extract_mode='schema' (uniform records), executor='ai' + extract_prompt (per-page understanding, 5x the page rate). A bounded crawl answers with its rows; an open one returns a crawl_id for writ_crawl_status wait=true. NOT FOR: reading a few pages now (writ_scrape). Every option: writ_help('writ_crawl_site').
writ_crawl_statusFreeStatus of a crawl by crawl_id; wait=true holds up to 75 s and returns the collected rows when it converges.
writ_create_automationwrite actionFreeCreates an automation: on an event (a workflow or crawl completed, a monitor change, a webhook, a schedule) it runs a workflow, sends a notification templated over the event's data, and/or wakes an AI agent. Event, template and webhook options: writ_help('writ_create_automation').
writ_create_http_extractionwrite actionFreeDrafts or revises a multi-request browserless HTTP extraction (loops, GraphQL, cursor pagination) from captured requests and a plain-language goal. Every option: writ_help('writ_create_http_extraction').
writ_create_monitorwrite actionFreeWATCHES a page for changes: Writ checks it on a schedule and fires change_detected when the page, a CSS selector's text, a value read by `extract`, or a visual zone changes. Returns the monitor_id that writ_wire_monitor connects to an alert, a workflow or an AI task (a price watch takes a threshold there). Without `interval` the answer is needs_input: this plan's options and a tell_user for the user, nothing created. The page is read first: a sign-in answers needs_persona, a bot check offers use_residential.
writ_devicesFreeThe user's linked Writ desktops: list, use (scope this connection to one: runs, browsers, personas and monitors then target it), clear, monitors, datasets.
writ_diagnose_http_workflowFreeExplains why a saved workflow's run returned nothing or failed: HTTP-lane readiness and, with task_id, the run's requests and responses.
writ_discovery_statusFreeStatus of a writ_website_to_api build. wait=true is one held call (up to 75 s) that follows the build to its newest rung and returns when it is done or parked. Answers: succeeded (workflow_id, functions, run_example), failed, cancelled, or needs_guidance (the build is the caller's to finish with writ_website_to_api mode=guided build_id=<id>; its map comes with it).
writ_export_dataFreeExports a workflow's full data table as CSV or JSON.
writ_expose_workflow_apiwrite actionFreePublishes a saved workflow as a REST endpoint (a POST URL that waits and returns its JSON). Repeated calls reuse it.
writ_helpFreeThe full reference of any Writ tool (every parameter and its rules) and the complete guide. topic = a tool name (e.g. 'writ_browser_compose', a 'run_<workflow>' tool), 'guide' for the manual (recurring digests, HTTP flow building, buying on a price, crawl and build modes), 'actions' / 'recording' / '2fa' for the browser rules, or empty for the list of topics.
writ_list_webhooksFreeThe account's inbound webhook URLs and the automations they fire.
writ_list_workflowsFreeLists the workflows saved in the Writ account; each runs on demand without live browsing. Returns id, name, declared inputs, schedule, and whether it is pinned as its own run_<name> tool.
writ_paymentwrite actionFreePays on a site with one of the user's cards; card numbers never reach this conversation. request (site, max_amount, purpose) returns a tell_user and an open_url where the user approves; wait (grant_id or confirmation_id); checkout pauses at the order button for the user's confirmation, then Writ places the order; fill; list (card handles only). Details: writ_help('writ_payment').
writ_personasFreeThe user's own accounts on websites (personas): how Writ signs in as them. No password passes through this tool or the conversation, and its answers never ask for one: credentials are typed only into a Writ window. action='list' domain=<site> shows the personas usable there; with none it answers persona_needed: a tell_user for the user, a create_url (a small Writ window with only the sign-in form, pre-filled for the site) and a link_id. action='wait' link_id=<id> is one held call that answers when the user saves it, with its persona_id. Also get, request (a link for another account), sign_in (refresh the session) and record_login. A persona_id works on writ_scrape, writ_crawl_site, writ_browser_use and writ_run_workflow; a desktop persona ('device:...') signs in on that desktop, from its own vault.
writ_pin_workflow_toolFreePins (or unpins) a saved workflow as its own run_<name> tool on this server.
writ_record_websiteFreeRecords a repeatable task on a site as a workflow (goal + start url): the same session as writ_browser_use, labelled with its goal, driven with writ_browser_act and saved with writ_browser_save. A goal that asks for an API goes to writ_website_to_api's build instead.
writ_run_saved_crawlwrite actionFreeRuns a saved crawl; max_age returns its recent data at no cost instead of re-crawling.
writ_run_workflowwrite actionFreeRuns a saved workflow by workflow_id or name and returns its extracted data (it waits by default). Inputs go as top-level fields or under `inputs`; function_name runs one function of a multi-function API (with the sign-in it needs). max_age reuses a recent result at no cost. A write function previews with mutation_mode='dry_run'. Runs sign in as the workflow's persona or persona_id; no password is ever passed. Venue, network, files and output shape: writ_help('writ_run_workflow').
writ_saved_crawl_dataFreeReads the data a saved crawl collected on its last completed run, without crawling.
writ_saved_crawlsFreeLists the crawls saved for re-running, with their scope.
writ_scrapeFreeREAD PAGES NOW, no browser session: one page (url), up to 20 pages in parallel (urls), or a listing plus its top N item pages (url + top_n). Returns clean markdown in 2-10 s, including pages a plain fetch cannot read: rendered by JavaScript (render_mode='browser'; a read that only got the page's shell says so and gives the retry), behind a bot wall or 403 (an automatic residential retry), or behind the user's sign-in (persona_id). Discussion threads keep their comments. format='html' returns the raw HTML for selectors. NOT FOR: a site-wide dataset (writ_crawl_site) or clicking and typing (writ_browser_use).
writ_search_dataFreeSearches everything the account's workflows already collected for a term, without running anything.
writ_set_scheduleFreeSchedules a saved workflow: every_minutes, or kind='daily'/'weekly' with time (HH:MM) and days. functions + inputs schedule chosen functions of a multi-function API.
writ_update_saved_crawlwrite actionFreeInspects or changes a saved crawl's settings in place.
writ_update_workflowwrite actionFreeInspects or edits a saved workflow: an outline, one function's source, targeted function or step edits, a settings patch. Every option: writ_help('writ_update_workflow').
writ_website_to_apiFreeTURNS A WEBSITE INTO A CALLABLE API (named functions with inputs, returning JSON) for a service with no practical official API. 3 calls: (1) this tool with url = the page that already shows the rows (a search-results or listing URL, not the home page) and goal = the inputs and fields wanted; (2) writ_discovery_status(build_id, wait=true); (3) on success, its run_example (writ_run_workflow with function_name). Writ builds it itself (an AI fast path in a real browser, each function live-tested) and first proposes the user's matching saved workflows and marketplace APIs (skip_existing / skip_marketplace build fresh). A sign-in wall answers persona_needed. NOT FOR: reading content (writ_scrape) or a one-off task (writ_browser_use). Modes and the guided build: writ_help('writ_website_to_api').
writ_wire_monitorFreeConnects a monitor's change_detected event to an action: action='notify' (channels and recipients the account has configured), 'workflow' (runs a saved workflow), or 'ai_task' (an AI agent opens the page and works `prompt`). A price watch takes `threshold` (+ threshold_op): the action then runs once, when a check reads a price at or below it. Buying at a price (`buy`): writ_help('writ_wire_monitor').
writ_workflow_dataFreeReads a saved workflow's collected data as a table: q filters, run_id picks one run, refs returns full records.
writ_workflow_runswrite actionFreeRun history (status, timing, errors, venue) of one workflow or all of them.

What the publisher says
From the Writ Cloud repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Your saved browser workflows, as tools your assistant can call.
Quick start · Tools · Configuration · Security · Troubleshooting · Contributing
writ-mcp connects a stdio MCP client — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex — to Writ, so the browser workflows you already recorded become tools your assistant can call: run them, read the data they collected, search past results, schedule them, expose them as REST endpoints, and kick off site crawls.
It is a transparent stdio↔HTTP proxy and nothing else. Every tool, schema and rule lives server-side, so what you get always matches what your instance can do — and a new tool never requires upgrading this package. Zero dependencies, one file, Node core only.
Clients that speak Streamable HTTP natively don't need this at all — point them
straight at the /mcp endpoint with an Authorization: Bearer header.
Quick start
1. Get an API key. In the Writ app: Settings → Developers → API keys. Keys look like wt_….
2. Add the server.
Against a self-hosted coordinator:
claude mcp add writ-selfhost -e WRIT_API_KEY=<YOUR_API_KEY> -- npx -y writ-mcp --url https://writ.example.comAgainst a coordinator on this machine:
claude mcp add writ-selfhost -e WRIT_API_KEY=<YOUR_API_KEY> -- npx -y writ-mcp --url http://localhost:8000Against a published per-workflow endpoint (an "Expose as MCP" slug URL is used verbatim — no path rewriting):
claude mcp add my-tools -e WRIT_API_KEY=<YOUR_API_KEY> -- npx -y writ-mcp --url https://mcp.example.com/mcp/my-tools3. Check it.
claude mcp listWrit Cloud is the default target when you pass no --url
(https://api.usewrit.app). Pass --url to point the connector at your own
coordinator instead. See Status.
Pass the key through the environment, not the command line. --api-key
works, but it puts your key in the process's argument list where any local
process can read it via ps, and your shell records it in history. The
connector prints a note when you use it.
Your running coordinator also hands out these one-liners, pre-filled, on its Connect page and at GET /api/mcp/connect-info:
