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).
