From 69ccb8c3102b8b9fb87776a9f3cfce8cf32cc20c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Gozman Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 13:46:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] feat(mcp): offer page-registered WebMCP tools as MCP tools The current tab's WebMCP tools are offered as MCP tools named webmcp_, with the client notified when they change or when the current tab changes. Descriptions carry untrusted, read-only and consequential disclaimers, and a tool that answers with an error fails the call. browser_webmcp_list and browser_webmcp_call become skill-only, so the CLI keeps them while pure MCP gets the page's tools directly. --- docs/src/getting-started-mcp.md | 7 +- .../src/tools/backend/browserBackend.ts | 36 +++- .../src/tools/backend/context.ts | 40 +++- .../playwright-core/src/tools/backend/tab.ts | 6 +- .../src/tools/backend/webmcp.ts | 119 +++++++++-- .../src/tools/utils/mcp/server.ts | 21 +- tests/mcp/capabilities.spec.ts | 2 - tests/mcp/cli-webmcp.spec.ts | 148 ++++++++++++-- tests/mcp/webmcp-dynamic.spec.ts | 187 ++++++++++++++++++ tests/mcp/webmcp.spec.ts | 182 ----------------- 10 files changed, 512 insertions(+), 236 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/mcp/webmcp-dynamic.spec.ts diff --git a/docs/src/getting-started-mcp.md b/docs/src/getting-started-mcp.md index 9d5c1d15b3a65..6272ecdea2ed5 100644 --- a/docs/src/getting-started-mcp.md +++ b/docs/src/getting-started-mcp.md @@ -131,12 +131,11 @@ Save and restore browser state including cookies and localStorage: ### WebMCP tools -Pages can register their own tools for agents through the experimental [WebMCP](https://webmachinelearning.github.io/webmcp/) API.
