    "method": "GET",
    "headers": {
      "Authorization": "Bearer token"
    }
  }
}

Test a POST request:

{
  "tool": "api_test_request",
  "arguments": {
    "url": "https://api.example.com/users",
    "method": "POST",
    "headers": {
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    "body": {
      "name": "John Doe",
      "email": "john@example.com"
    }
  }
}

Web Browser Testing

Navigate to a URL:

{
  "tool": "browser_navigate",
  "arguments": {
    "url": "https://example.com",
    "page_id": "main"
  }
}

Click an element:

{
  "tool": "browser_click",
  "arguments": {
    "selector": "button#submit",
    "page_id": "main"
  }
}

Take a screenshot:

{
  "tool": "browser_screenshot",
  "arguments": {
    "page_id": "main",
    "full_page": true,
    "path": "./screenshot.png"
  }
}

Phone UI Testing

Navigate on mobile:

{
  "tool": "phone_navigate",
  "arguments": {
    "url": "https://example.com",
    "device": "iPhone 12",
    "page_id": "mobile_test"
  }
}

Tap an element:

{
  "tool": "phone_tap",
  "arguments": {
    "selector": "button.login",
    "page_id": "mobile_test"
  }
}

Swipe:

{
  "tool": "phone_swipe",
  "arguments": {
    "direction": "up",
    "distance": 300,
    "page_id": "mobile_test"
  }
}

Available Device Presets

  • iPhone 12
  • iPhone 13
  • iPhone 13 Pro
  • iPhone 14
  • Samsung Galaxy S21
  • Samsung Galaxy S20
  • Pixel 5

Troubleshooting

Browser doesn't launch

  • Make sure Playwright browsers are installed: playwright install chromium
  • Check that you have necessary system dependencies

Import errors

  • Ensure all dependencies are installed: pip install -r requirements.txt
  • Verify Python version is 3.8+

Port conflicts

  • The server uses stdio for communication, so no ports are needed
  • If browser instances conflict, close existing browser windows

Notes

  • The server runs in non-headless mode by default (browsers are visible)
  • Multiple pages/tabs are supported via page_id parameter
  • Screenshots can be saved to disk or returned as base64
  • All browser instances are managed automatically
