Browser Control Skill

Use the browser MCP server to control a browser with full CDP access. The core cdp_send tool can call ANY Chrome DevTools Protocol method.

Available Tools

cdp_send - Raw CDP Access

Call any CDP method directly:

cdp_send(method: "Domain.method", params: {...})

screenshot - Capture Page

screenshot(format: "png"|"jpeg", fullPage: true|false)

get_url - Current URL

get_url()

close_browser - Close Browser

close_browser()

Common CDP Operations

// Get outer HTML
cdp_send(method: "DOM.getOuterHTML", params: { nodeId: 5 })

// Set attribute
cdp_send(method: "DOM.setAttributeValue", params: { nodeId: 5, name: "class", value: "new-class" })

JavaScript Execution

// Evaluate expression
cdp_send(method: "Runtime.evaluate", params: { expression: "document.title" })
