From dda2c6ab9f189a7242d7da18e4295223e825d6e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: cejor6 <82790391+cejor6@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 10:13:27 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] feat: per-page mutex and HTTP transport for concurrent agents (#1) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## Summary Two changes that together make the fork usable by multiple agents driving different pages on the same Chrome instance. ### Per-page mutex (`MutexRegistry`) Replaces the single global tool mutex with one mutex per `pageId`. With `--experimentalPageIdRouting`, two tools on two different pages run in parallel. Topology tools (`new_page`, `close_page`, `select_page`, `list_pages`) use a new `acquireExclusive()` that drains every per-page mutex first, so page topology never mutates while page work is in flight. Legacy single-flight behaviour preserved when the flag is off. ### Streamable HTTP transport New `src/HttpTransport.ts` exposes an HTTP endpoint alongside stdio. Independent client processes can now attach to the same browser. - `--http-port ` — enable; stdio stays active. - `--http-host ` — bind host, default `127.0.0.1`. Non-loopback requires `--http-token`. - `--http-token ` — bearer auth via `Authorization: Bearer …`. Each HTTP session gets its own `McpServer` but shares one browser/context/mutex registry via a new `SharedState` factory extracted from `createMcpServer`. ### Fork housekeeping - `private: true` in `package.json` so we never publish to npm. - Updated `repository`, `bugs.url`, `homepage`, `mcpName`, `server.json` to fork URLs/namespace; added a `contributors` entry. `author: Google LLC` preserved. - New `FORK.md`, `NOTICE`, `.github/CODEOWNERS`. - README prepended with a fork banner; original README content untouched. - `CONTRIBUTING.md` and `SECURITY.md` rewritten for the fork. - Deleted release/publish workflows (`pre-release.yml`, `publish-to-npm-on-tag.yml`, `release-please.yml`, `release-please-config.json`) since we're not publishing. - Every modified upstream file carries a `Modifications Copyright 2026 Colin (@cejor6)` notice per Apache 2.0 §4(b). ## Test plan - [x] `npm run typecheck` passes - [x] `npm run build` passes - [x] `npm run format` passes - [x] `tests/Mutex.test.ts` — new unit tests for `Mutex`, `MutexRegistry`, parallelism across pageIds, `acquireExclusive` draining - [x] `tests/HttpTransport.test.ts` — `isLoopbackHost` + bearer-auth rejection paths via a real server on an ephemeral port - [x] `tests/ToolHandler.test.ts` — existing tests updated to construct a `MutexRegistry`;

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## Summary Per-page mutex was a no-op for any tool defined via `defineTool()` (vs `definePageTool()`), most notably `evaluate_script`. That meant **every** page-scoped call was draining the global exclusive lock — strictly serialising all page work and undoing the whole point of this fork. ## Repro (before the fix) 3 independent MCP clients over HTTP, each firing `evaluate_script(pageId=N)` with a 2s internal sleep, on different pages: - Wall-clock total: **6391ms** - t1 spread: **4253ms** — strictly serial Same 3 calls from a single session: same pattern. Pure-puppeteer microbenchmark (no MCP): 2084ms total, t1 spread 0ms — confirming the bottleneck was in this fork's mutex layer, not puppeteer/Chrome. ## Root cause `isPageScopedTool` checked only `tool.pageScoped === true`, which is set by `definePageTool()`. `evaluate_script` uses `defineTool()` and adds `pageId` to its schema directly when `experimentalPageIdRouting` is on (see `src/tools/script.ts`). My handler missed that case and fell through to `acquireExclusive()`. ## Fix Detect "page-scoped for locking purposes" by inspecting whether the *registered schema accepts `pageId`*, falling back to the original `tool.pageScoped` flag. Topology tools that also accept `pageId` (`close_page`, `select_page`) are excluded by name and continue to use the exclusive lock. ## Verification After the fix, same 3-client over-HTTP scenario: - Wall-clock total: **2133ms** - t1 spread: **0ms** — truly parallel, 3× speedup Two regression tests added to `tests/ToolHandler.test.ts`: 1. `custom_eval` (defineTool with pageId in schema) → expects per-page lock, not exclusive. 2. `close_page` (topology tool, also has pageId) → still expects exclusive. All 29 targeted tests pass locally. ## Other - `test-output/` added to `.gitignore` and eslint global ignores. That's where the ad-hoc parallel/serial smoke-test scripts live; they're not part of the suite. ## Test plan - [x] `npm run typecheck` - [x] `npm run build` - [x] `npm run format` - [x] Targeted tests pass - [ ] CI passes on this PR - [ ] Manual: run \`test-output/parallel-test.mjs\` after merge to confirm parallel behavior persists. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Colin --- .gitignore | 3 + eslint.config.mjs | 2 + src/ToolHandler.ts | 34 ++++++++++-- tests/ToolHandler.test.ts | 113 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 148 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index 2ea3f0b63..d74cd10e2 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -1,3 +1,6 @@ +# Ad-hoc test fixtures (mutex/transport smoke tests, screenshots) +test-output/ + # Logs logs *.log diff --git a/eslint.config.mjs b/eslint.config.mjs index 6009e720c..6c2cff5fb 100644 --- a/eslint.config.mjs +++ b/eslint.config.mjs @@ -19,6 +19,8 @@ export default defineConfig([ '**/build/', 'tests/tools/fixtures/', 'src/third_party/lighthouse-devtools-mcp-bundle.js', + // Ad-hoc local smoke-test scripts (gitignored; not part of the suite). + 'test-output/', ]), importPlugin.flatConfigs.typescript, { diff --git a/src/ToolHandler.ts b/src/ToolHandler.ts index ccb5bfde2..0f357423a 100644 --- a/src/ToolHandler.ts +++ b/src/ToolHandler.ts @@ -129,6 +129,16 @@ function isPageScopedTool( return 'pageScoped' in tool && tool.pageScoped === true; } +// Tools that mutate the set of pages.

Idempotent. - \`uninstall-shared-mcp.ps1\` — stops/removes the task, removes the MCP entry, optionally re-adds the stdio variant, optionally cleans token/log/profile dirs. The launcher binds 127.0.0.1 only, requires bearer auth, and uses a dedicated user-data-dir under \`%LOCALAPPDATA%\cdmcp\chrome-profile\` so it never collides with the default stdio path. FORK.md gets a Shared HTTP setup section documenting both scripts. ## Test plan - [x] Both scripts parse-check clean via \`[Parser]::ParseFile\` (PowerShell 5.1 compatible). - [ ] Manual: run \`setup-shared-mcp.ps1\` on the dev machine, verify Scheduled Task is registered, server reachable, Claude Code config updated, browser launches on first tool call. - [ ] Manual: open two Claude Code windows, hit chrome-devtools from each, confirm pages from window A are visible to window B. - [ ] Manual: run \`uninstall-shared-mcp.ps1 -RestoreStdio\` and confirm rollback. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Colin --- FORK.md | 14 ++ scripts/README.md | 63 ++++++++ scripts/setup-shared-mcp.linux.sh | 111 ++++++++++++++ scripts/setup-shared-mcp.macos.sh | 120 +++++++++++++++ scripts/setup-shared-mcp.ps1 | 211 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ scripts/uninstall-shared-mcp.linux.sh | 62 ++++++++ scripts/uninstall-shared-mcp.macos.sh | 56 +++++++ scripts/uninstall-shared-mcp.ps1 | 87 +++++++++++ 8 files changed, 724 insertions(+) create mode 100644 scripts/README.md create mode 100644 scripts/setup-shared-mcp.linux.sh create mode 100644 scripts/setup-shared-mcp.macos.sh create mode 100644 scripts/setup-shared-mcp.ps1 create mode 100644 scripts/uninstall-shared-mcp.linux.sh create mode 100644 scripts/uninstall-shared-mcp.macos.sh create mode 100644 scripts/uninstall-shared-mcp.ps1 diff --git a/FORK.md b/FORK.md index 67fed5b4b..4928c611e 100644 --- a/FORK.md +++ b/FORK.md @@ -66,6 +66,20 @@ The modifications are concentrated in a handful of files: Each modified file carries a `Modifications Copyright 2026 Colin (@cejor6)` notice in addition to the original `Copyright Google LLC` header.

Root causes: 1. **Failed navigations orphan blank tabs.** `new_page` creates the tab *first*, then calls `goto`. A failed `goto` (timeout, refused connection, blocked-by-allowlist) threw and left the tab parked at `about:blank`; the agent saw an error and often retried `new_page` → another blank tab. (`navigate_page` already handles `goto` failures gracefully — `new_page` did not.) 2. **`background` was dropped for isolated contexts.** The `isolatedContext` path called `ctx.newPage()` without `{background}`, so agent tabs always stole foreground focus. 3. **No reuse path exists at all** — every `new_page` spawns a fresh tab. ## Changes - **Failed-navigation cleanup:** wrap the navigation in `new_page`; on failure, if the tab is still blank, close it (best-effort — the last remaining tab is never closed) and report the failure gracefully instead of throwing. - **Honor `background` in both paths:** the default and isolated paths both go through `ctx.newPage({background})`. - **Opt-in `reuseExisting`:** new `new_page` boolean (default **false**). When set, reuses an existing `about:blank` tab in the target context instead of opening another. Off by default because, in a shared isolated context, a blank tab may belong to another agent that just opened it and hasn't navigated yet. `isBlankUrl` moved to `src/utils/string.ts` (leaf module) to avoid an import cycle. ## Tests Added to `tests/tools/pages.test.ts`: - `reuseExisting: true` reuses a blank tab (no new tab opened) - default opens a new tab even when a blank exists - failed navigation closes the orphaned blank tab and reports `Unable to open` `npm run typecheck`, eslint, prettier, and `tests/tools/pages.test.ts` + `tests/McpContext.test.ts` all green locally. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Colin Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) --- FORK.md | 13 +++++++ docs/tool-reference.md | 1 + src/McpContext.ts | 34 +++++++++++++---- src/bin/chrome-devtools-cli-options.ts | 7 ++++ src/telemetry/tool_call_metrics.json | 4 ++ src/tools/ToolDefinition.ts | 2 + src/tools/pages.ts | 51 +++++++++++++++++++++----- src/utils/string.ts | 9 +++++ tests/tools/pages.test.ts | 49 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 9 files changed, 154 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/FORK.md b/FORK.md index 4928c611e..3337925bf 100644 --- a/FORK.md +++ b/FORK.md @@ -42,6 +42,16 @@ Each HTTP session gets its own `McpServer` instance but shares the same Chrome b `createSharedState()` lazily launches/connects Chrome and owns the `MutexRegistry`.

That powershell is the parent of the node server, so any visible host window (e.g. a logon-time console flash) could be closed by the user, killing the server tree. Switch the task action to `conhost.exe --headless powershell.exe ...`, which allocates a pseudoconsole with no window at any point. The process stays attached, so the task remains "Running" and the restart-on-failure policy still applies.
