execute_script

Run JavaScript in the page and return what it returns.

MCP tool execute_script
HTTP POST /browser/script

Check the other tools first: interact, write, extract and outline cover most needs, and only interact's hover opens a menu that appears on :hover, which script events never trigger. Use this for what is left: scrolling (window.scrollTo), computed styles, reading many values at once, direct DOM work. Not for drag and drop; drag uses real pointer input.

Parameters

Name Type Required Default
script string yes —
url string no —

Every call names its workspace: an X-Workspace header, or ?workspace=<name>. Sending both is refused. See Workspaces.

Returns

Field Type Notes
result any Whatever the script returned. Any JSON type.
url string Current URL after the action.
title string Page title after the action.
site_data object Present only when site data was restored, skipped or forgotten in this call.
page object Present only when this browser was opened with capture=true and the page reported a failure while the call ran: what it caused, and where to read it.

Errors

Status Means
400 The request cannot succeed as sent — a missing field, a value that was rejected, or a locator that matched nothing before the wait ran out. Do not retry it unchanged.
401 Missing or wrong bearer token.
404 No such browser session. It ended, the Grid reaped it, or the id was never real. Open a new one and retry.
413 The body is over its cap: 1 MiB of JSON, 64 MiB of upload, 1 MiB of flow YAML. Send less; retrying it unchanged will fail again.
500 Something failed that this server did not expect.
503 The Grid could not serve this — unreachable, or no free slot for a new browser. Worth retrying after a wait.

Over MCP the same failures arrive as a tool error.

Example
