{
  "mcpServers": {
    "testing-server": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-server/server.py"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }

  }
}

Web Browser Testing

Navigate to a URL:

{

    "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

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
