Common Patterns

Navigate + Screenshot

web_navigate_cremotemcp:
  url: "https://example.com"
  screenshot: true

Fill Form Field

web_interact_cremotemcp:
  action: "fill"
  selector: "input[name='email']"
  value: "user@example.com"

Select Dropdown Option

web_interact_cremotemcp:
  action: "select"
  selector: "#country"
  value: "United States"  # Can use option text or value

Click Button

web_interact_cremotemcp:
  action: "click"
  selector: "button#submit"

Submit Form

web_interact_cremotemcp:
  action: "submit"
  selector: "form"

Upload File

web_interact_cremotemcp:
  action: "upload"
  selector: "input[type='file']"
  value: "/path/to/file.pdf"

Upload File to Container

file_upload_cremotemcp:
  local_path: "/home/user/document.pdf"
  container_path: "/tmp/upload.pdf"

Download File from Container

file_download_cremotemcp:
  container_path: "/tmp/downloaded.pdf"
  local_path: "/home/user/Downloads/file.pdf"

Get Console Logs

console_logs_cremotemcp:
  clear: true

Execute Console Command

console_command_cremotemcp:
  command: "document.title"
  timeout: 10

Best CSS Selectors

Good:

  • #unique-id
  • input[name='fieldname']
  • button.primary-submit
  • form#login-form

Avoid:

  • div (too generic)
  • input (too broad)
  • :nth-child(3) (fragile)

Check Element Before Interaction (New Pattern)

web_element_check_cremotemcp:
  selector: "#submit-button"
  check_type: "enabled"

Get Form Field Values (New Pattern)

web_element_attributes_cremotemcp:
  selector: "input[name='email']"
  attributes: "value,placeholder"

Conditional Logic (New Pattern)

# Check if error message is visible
web_element_check_cremotemcp:
  selector: ".error-message"
  check_type: "visible"

# Get all element information
web_element_attributes_cremotemcp:
  selector: "#status-indicator"
  attributes: "all"

Smart Form Handling (Phase 3 Pattern)

# 1. Analyze form structure
web_form_analyze_cremotemcp:
  selector: "#registration-form"

# 2. Fill form efficiently
web_form_fill_bulk_cremotemcp:
  form_selector: "#registration-form"
  fields:
    username: "newuser"
    email: "user@example.com"
    password: "securepass"

Batch Operations (Phase 3 Pattern)

# Complete multiple actions at once
web_interact_multiple_cremotemcp:
  interactions:
    - selector: "#terms"
      action: "check"
    - selector: "#newsletter"
      action: "uncheck"
    - selector: "#submit"
      action: "click"

Complex Form Workflow (Phase 3 Pattern)

# 1. Navigate and analyze
web_navigate_cremotemcp:
  url: "https://example.com/register"

web_form_analyze_cremotemcp:
  selector: "form"

# 2. Fill and submit
web_form_fill_bulk_cremotemcp:
  fields:
    first_name: "John"
    last_name: "Doe"
    email: "john@example.com"

web_interact_cremotemcp:
  action: "click"
  selector: "button[type='submit']"

Page State Monitoring (Phase 4 Pattern)

# 1. Get page information
web_page_info_cremotemcp:
  timeout: 5

# 2. Check viewport
web_viewport_info_cremotemcp:
  timeout: 5

# 3. Verify content loaded
web_content_check_cremotemcp:
  type: "images"

# 4. Check for errors
web_content_check_cremotemcp:
  type: "errors"

# 5. Get performance data
web_performance_metrics_cremotemcp:
  timeout: 5

Typical Workflow

  1. Navigate to target page
  2. Check if required elements exist and are ready (New)
  3. Fill required form fields
  4. Check form validation state (New)
  5. Click submit buttons
  6. Take screenshots for verification
  7. Navigate to next page if needed

Enhanced Workflow with Element Checking (New)

  1. Navigate to page with screenshot
  2. Check if form is loaded: web_element_check_cremotemcp
  3. Get current form values: web_element_attributes_cremotemcp
  4. Fill form fields conditionally
  5. Check if submit button is enabled
  6. Submit form and verify success

🚀 Efficiency Tips

Batch Operations (10x Faster)

  • Use web_form_fill_bulk_cremotemcp instead of multiple web_interact_cremotemcp
  • Use web_extract_multiple_cremotemcp instead of multiple web_extract_cremotemcp
  • Use web_interact_multiple_cremotemcp for complex interaction sequences

Smart Element Checking

  • Always use web_element_check_cremotemcp before interactions
  • Check form state with web_form_analyze_cremotemcp before filling
  • Verify page loading with web_content_check_cremotemcp

Enhanced Debugging

  • Use web_screenshot_element_cremotemcp for targeted debugging
  • Use web_screenshot_enhanced_cremotemcp for comprehensive documentation
  • Check console_logs_cremotemcp for JavaScript errors

Error Handling

  • Element not found: Check CSS selector, use web_element_check_cremotemcp first
  • Timeout: Increase timeout parameter or check page loading state
  • Navigation failed: Verify URL accessibility, check network connectivity
  • Form submission failed: Use web_form_analyze_cremotemcp to understand form structure

Screenshots

Screenshots are automatically saved to /tmp/navigate-{timestamp}.png when requested. Enhanced screenshots include metadata with timestamp, URL, title, and viewport information.
