Ryan Malloy ab68039f2e roadmap: comprehensive 4-phase implementation plan for enhanced Playwright MCP features
Phase 1: Enhanced Navigation & Control (5 tools - back/forward nav, resize, devices, offline)
Phase 2: Chrome Extension Management (expand beyond 9 extensions, auto-update, workflows)
Phase 3: Coordinate-Based Vision Tools (enhance existing mouse tools, advanced patterns)
Phase 4: Real-World Testing & Polish (multi-client scenarios, UX refinement)

Next: Begin Phase 1 with browser_navigate_back implementation.
Current status: MCP client identification system complete and production-ready.

# Comprehensive Implementation Roadmap
## 🎯 **Priority Order Established**
1. **Phase 1**: Enhanced Navigation & Control (low complexity, broad utility)
2. **Phase 2**: Chrome Extension Management Tools (medium complexity, high developer value)
3. **Phase 3**: Coordinate-Based Vision Tools (medium complexity, advanced automation)
4. **Phase 4**: Real-World Testing & Polish (production readiness discussion)
## ✅ **Current Status**
- **MCP Client Identification System**: COMPLETE (5 tools implemented, tested, documented)
- **Feature Gap Analysis**: COMPLETE (10 missing tools identified vs Python version)
- **Production Ready**: Feature branch `feature/mcp-client-debug-injection` ready for merge
## 📋 **Phase 1: Enhanced Navigation & Control** (NEXT)
### Missing Tools to Implement:
1. **browser_navigate_back** - Browser back button functionality
- Implementation: `await page.goBack()` with wait conditions
- Schema: No parameters needed
- Return: Page snapshot after navigation
2. **browser_navigate_forward** - Browser forward button functionality
- Implementation: `await page.goForward()` with wait conditions
- Schema: No parameters needed
- Return: Page snapshot after navigation
3. **browser_resize** - Resize browser window
- Implementation: `await page.setViewportSize({ width, height })`
- Schema: `width: number, height: number`
- Return: New viewport dimensions
4. **browser_list_devices** - List device emulation profiles (ENHANCE EXISTING)
- Current: Basic device listing exists in configure.ts
- Enhancement: Add detailed device info, categorization
- Schema: Optional category filter
- Return: Structured device profiles with capabilities
5. **browser_set_offline** - Toggle offline network mode
- Implementation: `await context.setOffline(boolean)`
- Schema: `offline: boolean`
- Return: Network status confirmation
### Implementation Location:
- Add to `/src/tools/navigate.ts` (back/forward)
- Add to `/src/tools/configure.ts` (resize, offline, devices)
## 📋 **Phase 2: Chrome Extension Management**
### Current Extensions Available:
- react-devtools, vue-devtools, redux-devtools, lighthouse, axe-devtools
- colorzilla, json-viewer, web-developer, whatfont
### Enhancement Tasks:
1. **Research extension installation patterns** - Study popular dev extensions
2. **Add more popular extensions** - Expand beyond current 9 options
3. **Extension auto-update** - Version management and updates
4. **Management workflow tools** - Bulk operations, profiles
## 📋 **Phase 3: Coordinate-Based Vision Tools**
### Current Implementation:
- Located: `/src/tools/mouse.ts`
- Capability: `vision` (opt-in via --caps=vision)
- Existing: `browser_mouse_move_xy`, `browser_mouse_click_xy`, `browser_mouse_drag_xy`
### Enhancement Tasks:
1. **Review existing implementation** - Audit current vision tools
2. **Enhance coordinate precision** - Sub-pixel accuracy, scaling
3. **Advanced drag patterns** - Multi-step drags, gesture recognition
4. **Integration helpers** - Screenshot + coordinate tools
## 📋 **Phase 4: Real-World Testing & Polish**
### Discussion Topics:
1. **Multi-client testing scenarios** - Actual parallel usage
2. **Debug toolbar UX refinement** - User feedback integration
3. **Performance optimization** - Memory usage, injection speed
4. **Advanced identification features** - Custom themes, animations
## 🛠️ **Implementation Notes**
### Current Feature Branch:
- Branch: `feature/mcp-client-debug-injection`
- Files modified: 4 main files + 2 test files
- New tools: 5 (debug toolbar + code injection)
- Lines added: ~800 lines of TypeScript
### Ready for Production:
- All linting issues resolved
- README updated with new tools
- Comprehensive testing completed
- Demo documentation created
### Next Steps Before Context Loss:
1. Begin Phase 1 with `browser_navigate_back` implementation
2. Test navigation tools thoroughly
3. Move to Phase 2 Chrome extensions
4. Maintain momentum through systematic implementation
## 🎯 **Success Metrics**
- Phase 1: 5 new navigation tools (bringing total to 61 tools)
- Phase 2: Enhanced extension ecosystem (10+ popular extensions)
- Phase 3: Advanced vision automation capabilities
- Phase 4: Production-ready multi-client system
This roadmap ensures systematic progression from basic functionality to advanced features, maintaining the TypeScript Playwright MCP server as the most comprehensive implementation available.
