Visionaire Engine vs Pagebolt MCP

page_origins

Inventory of every stylesheet (URL, byte size, origin, source-map presence) plus platform detection — WordPress version, theme/child theme, page builder (Elementor/Divi), and CSS optimizer. Use before proposing edits to learn where the CSS actually lives, when a file:line points at a generated/minified bundle and you need the true source, or to answer 'is this WordPress/Elementor?' and 'which stylesheet owns this?'.

inspect_element

The 'WHAT' for one element: box model (margins/padding/border), key computed styles as authored → used values, a visibility verdict, and layout context. Use when you need an element's current rendered state — its real size, spacing, or whether it is actually visible/where it sits. These are the values the page ACTUALLY renders, so it catches the common case where the source rule you'd edit is overridden or never applied. For 'WHY it looks like this / which rule wins' use explain_styles; for 'which ancestor constrains its size or position' use inspect_ancestors.

explain_styles

The core 'WHY': a per-property cascade verdict naming the winning CSS declaration and every loser with the exact reason it lost (specificity, !important, source order, inline, layer), each attributed to file:line or a WordPress/Elementor/Customizer origin. Reach for this whenever a style is wrong or 'won't apply' — wrong color/font/size/spacing, 'something is overriding my rule', 'where does this value come from', 'which rule do I edit'. Prefer this over grepping the source for a style bug: source search finds candidate rules, but only the live cascade shows which one actually WINS on a layered stack — so diagnose here before editing CSS you assume is the cause. Each winner also reports its BLAST RADIUS — how many other elements that rule styles (so you change THE button, not all buttons) — plus a scoped selector that targets just this element, with a specificity verdict. Pass an optional property (e.g. 'margin-bottom') to focus.

inspect_ancestors

Walk an element's ancestor chain for ONE concern — width, height, position, overflow, or stacking — and flag the ancestor that is the binding constraint. Use when the cause lives ABOVE the element: it's too wide/narrow, clipped or cut off, won't scroll, is mysteriously positioned, or a z-index has no effect (trapped in an ancestor's stacking context). Complements explain_styles, which explains the element's own winning rules.

find_elements

Deterministic search by visible text, CSS selector, ARIA role, and/or screen region → compact uid-keyed matches; anchors include their resolved href, so find_elements{role:'link'} lists the page's links WITH destinations (then navigate to browse them). Criteria are AND-combined by default; pass match:'any' for a union (OR) when over-specifying returns nothing, and visibleOnly:false to include display:none/hidden elements. Use to locate the element a user described in words ('the Subscribe button', 'the header nav') before inspecting it. Prefer this (or page_snapshot) over guessing a selector. For a point in a screenshot use node_at_point; to have the human physically click the element use pick_element.

node_at_point

Map viewport coordinates (x, y) to the element there: uid, identity, and the full ancestor uid chain. Use to turn a coordinate — e.g. a spot you located in an annotated_screenshot, or pixel coords the user gave — into a concrete element and uid.

annotated_screenshot

Screenshot in two modes: an overview with numbered marks burned in, where mark N equals uid eN (mark 17 = e17); or an element-scoped crop via clipTo (uid|selector|x,y) with optional padding, scale (0.5..4 zoom for tiny elements), and annotate:false for a clean unlabeled crop. Use when text tools are not enough and you need to SEE the page while keeping pixels tied to elements — spatial or visual-layout questions ('things overlap', 'the layout looks off'), to zoom in on one small element, or to confirm which element is which. Then target elements by their uid.

style_diff

BEFORE/AFTER comparison for one element: record its styles into a named slot, change something, compare — only the properties that changed are reported. Reach for it whenever you ask 'did my fix actually change anything?' or need to prove what an edit / inject_css patch / viewport change / interaction altered. The loop: style_diff{mode:'record'} → apply the change → style_diff{mode:'compare'}. Confirms a fix moved exactly the property you intended, and nothing else.
