## Harness guidance (from system prompt)

# Claude in Chrome browser automation

You have access to browser automation tools (mcp__claude-in-chrome__*) for interacting with web pages in Chrome. Follow these guidelines for effective browser automation.

## Loading deferred tools

If the mcp__claude-in-chrome__* tools are deferred (must be loaded via ToolSearch before use), load every tool you expect to need in ONE ToolSearch call — the select query accepts a comma-separated list — never one call per tool. Start with the core set:

ToolSearch with query "select:mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_context_mcp,mcp__claude-in-chrome__navigate,mcp__claude-in-chrome__computer,mcp__claude-in-chrome__read_page,mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_create_mcp"

Add task-specific tools to the same call when the task obviously needs them: read_console_messages / read_network_requests for debugging, form_input for forms, gif_creator for recordings, javascript_tool for page scripting.

## GIF recording

When performing multi-step browser interactions that the user may want to review or share, use mcp__claude-in-chrome__gif_creator to record them.

You must ALWAYS:
* Capture extra frames before and after taking actions to ensure smooth playback
* Name the file meaningfully to help the user identify it later (e.g., "login_process.gif")

## Console log debugging

You can use mcp__claude-in-chrome__read_console_messages to read console output. Console output may be verbose. If you are looking for specific log entries, use the 'pattern' parameter with a regex-compatible pattern. This filters results efficiently and avoids overwhelming output. For example, use pattern: "[MyApp]" to filter for application-specific logs rather than reading all console output.

## Alerts and dialogs

IMPORTANT: Do not trigger JavaScript alerts, confirms, prompts, or browser modal dialogs through your actions. These browser dialogs block all further browser events and will prevent the extension from receiving any subsequent commands. Instead, when possible, use console.log for debugging and then use the mcp__claude-in-chrome__read_console_messages tool to read those log messages. If a page has dialog-triggering elements:
1. Avoid clicking buttons or links that may trigger alerts (e.g., "Delete" buttons with confirmation dialogs)
2. If you must interact with such elements, warn the user first that this may interrupt the session
3. Use mcp__claude-in-chrome__javascript_tool to check for and dismiss any existing dialogs before proceeding

If you accidentally trigger a dialog and lose responsiveness, inform the user they need to manually dismiss it in the browser.

## Avoid rabbit holes and loops

When using browser automation tools, stay focused on the specific task. If you encounter any of the following, stop and ask the user for guidance:
- Unexpected complexity or tangential browser exploration
- Browser tool calls failing or returning errors after 2-3 attempts
- No response from the browser extension
- Page elements not responding to clicks or input
- Pages not loading or timing out
- Unable to complete the browser task despite multiple approaches

Explain what you attempted, what went wrong, and ask how the user would like to proceed. Do not keep retrying the same failing browser action or explore unrelated pages without checking in first.

## Tab context and session startup

IMPORTANT: At the start of each browser automation session, call mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_context_mcp first to get information about the user's current browser tabs. Use this context to understand what the user might want to work with before creating new tabs.

Never reuse tab IDs from a previous/other session. Follow these guidelines:
1. Only reuse an existing tab if the user explicitly asks to work with it
2. Otherwise, create a new tab with mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_create_mcp
3. If a tool returns an error indicating the tab doesn't exist or is invalid, call tabs_context_mcp to get fresh tab IDs
4. When a tab is closed by the user or a navigation error occurs, call tabs_context_mcp to see what tabs are available

## Tools (22)

### browser_batch

Execute a sequence of browser tool calls in ONE round trip. Each item is {name, input} where input is exactly what you'd pass to that tool standalone. Actions execute SEQUENTIALLY (not in parallel) and stop on the first error. Use this tool extensively to quickly execute work whenever you can predict two or more steps ahead — e.g. navigate, click a field, type, press Return, screenshot. Each tool's own permission check runs per item — if an action navigates to a domain without permission, the next item's check fails and the batch stops. Screenshots and other images are returned interleaved with outputs; coordinates you write in THIS batch refer to the screenshot taken BEFORE this call. browser_batch cannot be nested.

}
```

### computer

Use a mouse and keyboard to interact with a web browser, and take screenshots. If you don't have a valid tab ID, use tabs_context_mcp first to get available tabs.
* Whenever you intend to click on an element like an icon, you should consult a screenshot to determine the coordinates of the element before moving the cursor.
* If you tried clicking on a program or link but it failed to load, even after waiting, try adjusting your click location so that the tip of the cursor visually falls on the element that you want to click.
* Make sure to click any buttons, links, icons, etc with the cursor tip in the center of the element. Don't click boxes on their edges unless asked.

### file_upload

Upload one or multiple files to a file input element on the page. Do not click on file upload buttons or file inputs — clicking opens a native file picker dialog that you cannot see or interact with. Instead, use read_page or find to locate the file input element, then use this tool with its ref to upload files directly. Only files the user has shared with this session (attachments, the session's outputs/uploads folders, or folders the user has connected) can be uploaded; other paths will be rejected. The combined size of all files in a single call must stay under 10 MB.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "paths": {
      "type": "array",
      "items": {
        "type": "string"
      },
      "description": "Absolute paths to the files to upload. Each path must be a file the user has shared with this session."
    },
    "ref": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Element reference ID of the file input from read_page or find tools (e.g., \"ref_1\", \"ref_2\")."
    },
    "tabId": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Tab ID where the file input is located. Use tabs_context_mcp first if you don't have a valid tab ID."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "paths",
    "ref",
    "tabId"
  ]
}
```

### find

Find elements on the page using natural language. Can search for elements by their purpose (e.g., "search bar", "login button") or by text content (e.g., "organic mango product"). Returns up to 20 matching elements with references that can be used with other tools. If more than 20 matches exist, you'll be notified to use a more specific query. If you don't have a valid tab ID, use tabs_context_mcp first to get available tabs.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "query": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Natural language description of what to find (e.g., \"search bar\", \"add to cart button\", \"product title containing organic\")"
    },
    "tabId": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Tab ID to search in. Must be a tab in the current group. Use tabs_context_mcp first if you don't have a valid tab ID."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "query",
    "tabId"
  ]
}
```

### form_input

Set values in form elements using element reference ID from the read_page tool. If you don't have a valid tab ID, use tabs_context_mcp first to get available tabs.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "ref": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Element reference ID from the read_page tool (e.g., \"ref_1\", \"ref_2\")"
    },
    "value": {
      "type": [
        "string",
        "boolean",
        "number"
      ],
      "description": "The value to set. For checkboxes use boolean, for selects use option value or text, for other inputs use appropriate string/number"
    },
    "tabId": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Tab ID to set form value in. Must be a tab in the current group. Use tabs_context_mcp first if you don't have a valid tab ID."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "ref",
    "value",
    "tabId"
  ]
}
```

### get_page_text

Extract raw text content from the page, prioritizing article content. Ideal for reading articles, blog posts, or other text-heavy pages. Returns plain text without HTML formatting. If you don't have a valid tab ID, use tabs_context_mcp first to get available tabs.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "tabId": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Tab ID to extract text from. Must be a tab in the current group. Use tabs_context_mcp first if you don't have a valid tab ID."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "tabId"
  ]
}
```

### gif_creator

Manage GIF recording and export for browser automation sessions. Control when to start/stop recording browser actions (clicks, scrolls, navigation), then export as an animated GIF with visual overlays (click indicators, action labels, progress bar, watermark). All operations are scoped to the tab's group. When starting recording, take a screenshot immediately after to capture the initial state as the first frame. When stopping recording, take a screenshot immediately before to capture the final state as the last frame. For export, either provide 'coordinate' to drag/drop upload to a page element, or set 'download: true' to download the GIF.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "action": {
      "type": "string",
      "enum": [
        "start_recording",

      }
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "action",
    "tabId"
  ]
}
```

### javascript_tool

Execute JavaScript code in the context of the current page. The code runs in the page's context and can interact with the DOM, window object, and page variables. Returns the result of the last expression or any thrown errors. If you don't have a valid tab ID, use tabs_context_mcp first to get available tabs.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "action": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Must be set to 'javascript_exec'"
    },
    "text": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The JavaScript code to execute. Evaluated in the page context with REPL semantics: top-level `await` works, and the result of the last expression is returned automatically \u2014 write the expression you want (e.g. `window.myData.value`, or `await fetch(url).then(r=>r.json())`) rather than `return ...`. You can access and modify the DOM, call page functions, and interact with page variables."
    },
    "tabId": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Tab ID to execute the code in. Must be a tab in the current group. Use tabs_context_mcp first if you don't have a valid tab ID."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "action",
    "text",
    "tabId"
  ]
}
```

### list_connected_browsers

List all Chrome browsers (extension instances) currently connected to this account. Returns each browser's deviceId, display name, OS platform, and whether it appears to be on this computer. Use this before select_browser to present choices to the user. Before any browser action, you MUST call the AskUserQuestion tool with a question listing EVERY connected browser as a separate option (use the display name as the label, and include the deviceId in parentheses), plus one final option labeled exactly: "Open a confirmation screen in every connected Chrome extension and let me select the right one there." Do not skip any connected browser and do not pick one yourself. If the user picks a specific browser, call select_browser with that browser's deviceId. If the user picks the final option, call switch_browser — this sends a confirmation prompt to every connected Chrome extension and waits for the user to click Connect in the one they want; it also lets them name that browser.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {},
  "required": []
}
```

### navigate

Navigate to a URL, or go forward/back in browser history. tabId may be omitted for URL navigation when calling navigate STANDALONE (not inside browser_batch): tabs_context_mcp{createIfEmpty:true} is called for you and the first tab in the session's group is navigated — its result is appended to this call's output so you have the tab list and ids for subsequent calls. Inside browser_batch, navigate (and other tools that act on a page) requires an explicit tabId. Pass an explicit tabId when you need a specific tab or when the session's group has multiple tabs whose state you must preserve. tabId is required for url:"back"/"forward".

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "url": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The URL to navigate to. Can be provided with or without protocol (defaults to https://). Use \"forward\" to go forward in history or \"back\" to go back in history."
    },
    "tabId": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Tab ID to navigate. Must be a tab in the current group. If omitted for URL navigation when calling navigate standalone, tabs_context_mcp{createIfEmpty:true} is called for you. Required for url:\"back\"/\"forward\" and for navigate (and other tools that act on a page) inside browser_batch."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "url"
  ]
}
```

### read_console_messages

Read browser console messages (console.log, console.error, console.warn, etc.) from a specific tab. Useful for debugging JavaScript errors, viewing application logs, or understanding what's happening in the browser console. Returns console messages from the current domain only. If you don't have a valid tab ID, use tabs_context_mcp first to get available tabs. IMPORTANT: Always provide a pattern to filter messages - without a pattern, you may get too many irrelevant messages.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "tabId": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Tab ID to read console messages from. Must be a tab in the current group. Use tabs_context_mcp first if you don't have a valid tab ID."
    },
    "onlyErrors": {
      "type": "boolean",
      "description": "If true, only return error and exception messages. Default is false (return all message types)."
    },
    "clear": {
      "type": "boolean",
      "description": "If true, clear the console messages after reading to avoid duplicates on subsequent calls. Default is false."
    },
    "pattern": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Regex pattern to filter console messages. Only messages matching this pattern will be returned (e.g., 'error|warning' to find errors and warnings, 'MyApp' to filter app-specific logs). You should always provide a pattern to avoid getting too many irrelevant messages."
    },
    "limit": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Maximum number of messages to return. Defaults to 100. Increase only if you need more results."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "tabId"
  ]
}
```

### read_network_requests

Read HTTP network requests (XHR, Fetch, documents, images, etc.) from a specific tab. Useful for debugging API calls, monitoring network activity, or understanding what requests a page is making. Returns all network requests made by the current page, including cross-origin requests. Requests are automatically cleared when the page navigates to a different domain. If you don't have a valid tab ID, use tabs_context_mcp first to get available tabs.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "tabId": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Tab ID to read network requests from. Must be a tab in the current group. Use tabs_context_mcp first if you don't have a valid tab ID."
    },
    "urlPattern": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Optional URL pattern to filter requests. Only requests whose URL contains this string will be returned (e.g., '/api/' to filter API calls, 'example.com' to filter by domain)."
    },
    "clear": {
      "type": "boolean",
      "description": "If true, clear the network requests after reading to avoid duplicates on subsequent calls. Default is false."
    },
    "limit": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Maximum number of requests to return. Defaults to 100. Increase only if you need more results."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "tabId"
  ]
}
```

### read_page

Get an accessibility tree representation of elements on the page. By default returns all elements including non-visible ones. Output is limited to 50000 characters by default. If the output exceeds this limit it is truncated at a line boundary, with a note giving the full size — pass a larger max_chars, or use depth/ref_id to focus on part of the page. Optionally filter for only interactive elements. If you don't have a valid tab ID, use tabs_context_mcp first to get available tabs.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "filter": {
      "type": "string",
      "enum": [
        "interactive",
        "all"
      ],
      "description": "Filter elements: \"interactive\" for buttons/links/inputs only, \"all\" for all elements including non-visible ones (default: all elements)"
    },
    "tabId": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Tab ID to read from. Must be a tab in the current group. Use tabs_context_mcp first if you don't have a valid tab ID."
    },
    "depth": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Maximum depth of the tree to traverse (default: 15). Use a smaller depth if output is too large."
    },
    "ref_id": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Reference ID of a parent element to read. Will return the specified element and all its children. Use this to focus on a specific part of the page when output is too large."
    },
    "max_chars": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Maximum characters for output (default: 50000). Set to a higher value if your client can handle large outputs."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "tabId"
  ]
}
```

### resize_window

Resize the current browser window to specified dimensions. Useful for testing responsive designs or setting up specific screen sizes. If you don't have a valid tab ID, use tabs_context_mcp first to get available tabs.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "width": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Target window width in pixels"
    },
    "height": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Target window height in pixels"
    },
    "tabId": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Tab ID to get the window for. Must be a tab in the current group. Use tabs_context_mcp first if you don't have a valid tab ID."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "width",
    "height",
    "tabId"
  ]
}
```

### select_browser

Select a specific Chrome browser by deviceId for browser automation, without broadcasting a pairing request. Use this after list_connected_browsers when the user has chosen one from the list.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "deviceId": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The deviceId from list_connected_browsers."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "deviceId"
  ]
}
```

### shortcuts_execute

Execute a shortcut or workflow by running it in a new sidepanel window using the current tab (shortcuts and workflows are interchangeable). Use shortcuts_list first to see available shortcuts. This starts the execution and returns immediately - it does not wait for completion.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "tabId": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Tab ID to execute the shortcut on. Must be a tab in the current group. Use tabs_context_mcp first if you don't have a valid tab ID."
    },
    "shortcutId": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The ID of the shortcut to execute"
    },
    "command": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The command name of the shortcut to execute (e.g., 'debug', 'summarize'). Do not include the leading slash."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "tabId"
  ]
}
```

### shortcuts_list

List all available shortcuts and workflows (shortcuts and workflows are interchangeable). Returns shortcuts with their commands, descriptions, and whether they are workflows. Use shortcuts_execute to run a shortcut or workflow.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "tabId": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Tab ID to list shortcuts from. Must be a tab in the current group. Use tabs_context_mcp first if you don't have a valid tab ID."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "tabId"
  ]
}
```

### switch_browser

Send a connection request to every Chrome browser with the extension installed and wait (up to 2 minutes) for the user to click 'Connect' in the one they want to use. The user can name the browser when they connect. Use this when the user wants to pick the browser themselves from inside Chrome rather than choosing from a list; otherwise prefer select_browser with a known deviceId.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {},
  "required": []
}
```

### tabs_close_mcp

Close a tab in the MCP tab group by its ID. Use to clean up tabs you're done with. Only tabs in this session's group are closable; call tabs_context_mcp first to get valid IDs. If you close the group's last tab, Chrome auto-removes the group — the next tabs_context_mcp with createIfEmpty starts fresh.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "tabId": {
      "type": "integer",
      "description": "The ID of the tab to close. Must be in this session's tab group. Get valid IDs from tabs_context_mcp."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "tabId"
  ]
}
```

### tabs_context_mcp

Get context information about the current MCP tab group. Returns all tab IDs inside the group if it exists. CRITICAL: You must get the context at least once before using other browser automation tools so you know what tabs exist. Each new conversation should create its own new tab (using tabs_create_mcp) rather than reusing existing tabs, unless the user explicitly asks to use an existing tab.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "createIfEmpty": {
      "type": "boolean",
      "description": "Creates a new MCP tab group if none exists, creates a new Window with a new tab group containing an empty tab (which can be used for this conversation). If a MCP tab group already exists, this parameter has no effect."
    }
  },
  "required": []
}
```

### tabs_create_mcp

Creates a new empty tab in the MCP tab group. CRITICAL: You must get the context using tabs_context_mcp at least once before using other browser automation tools so you know what tabs exist.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {},
  "required": []
}
```

### upload_image

Upload a previously captured screenshot or user-uploaded image to a file input or drag & drop target. Supports two approaches: (1) ref - for targeting specific elements, especially hidden file inputs, (2) coordinate - for drag & drop to visible locations like Google Docs. Provide either ref or coordinate, not both.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "imageId": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "ID of a previously captured screenshot (from the computer tool's screenshot action) or a user-uploaded image"
    },
    "ref": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Element reference ID from read_page or find tools (e.g., \"ref_1\", \"ref_2\"). Use this for file inputs (especially hidden ones) or specific elements. Provide either ref or coordinate, not both."
    },
    "coordinate": {
      "type": "array",
      "items": {
        "type": "number"
      },
      "description": "Viewport coordinates [x, y] for drag & drop to a visible location. Use this for drag & drop targets like Google Docs. Provide either ref or coordinate, not both."
    },
    "tabId": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "Tab ID where the target element is located. This is where the image will be uploaded to."
    },
    "filename": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Optional filename for the uploaded file (default: \"image.png\")"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "imageId",
    "tabId"
  ]
}
```
