Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Wavexis MCP Tools (72)
wavexis_session_open
Launch a persistent browser session for multi-step workflows.
Call once at the start of a task and reuse the returned session_id for
all subsequent calls; use wavexis_navigate with session_id omitted for
one-off page fetches instead.
Side effects: Launches a browser process (or connects to an existing
one) and allocates server-side session state; may open network
connections to remote/cloud browsers.
Returns: JSON string with keys: 'status' ('ok'/'error'),
'session_id' (str), 'backend' (str).
wavexis_session_close
Close a browser session and release all associated resources.
Call when the session is no longer needed to free memory and browser
processes; use wavexis_close_tab to close individual tabs instead.
Side effects: Terminates the browser process (or disconnects from a
remote one) and frees session state. Destructive — all unsaved page
state is lost.
Returns: JSON string with keys: 'status' ('ok'/'error'),
'session_id' (str).
wavexis_session_info
Query metadata and current URL of an active browser session.
Use to inspect session health or retrieve the current page URL; use
wavexis_list_tabs for tab-level details instead.
Side effects: None — read-only; queries in-memory session state and
the browser's current URL.
Returns: JSON string with keys: 'status' ('ok'/'error'),
'session_id' (str), 'backend' (str), 'created_at' (str),
'current_url' (str).
