[简体中文](README_CN.md)
WeApp DevTools MCP connects an MCP client to a local WeChat Mini Program DevTools automation endpoint. It lets an agent navigate pages, inspect elements, collect logs, capture screenshots, monitor network requests, mock `wx` APIs, run local scripts, and call the official DevTools CLI without a hosted relay service.
## Features
- Control Mini Program pages through local WeChat DevTools automation.
- Navigate, tap, input, inspect elements, read page/component data, capture screenshots, and create compact page snapshots.
- Collect console logs and local network traffic from `wx.request`, `wx.uploadFile`, and `wx.downloadFile`.
- Mock and restore `wx` APIs, run Mini Program runtime evaluation, and call the local DevTools CLI when explicitly enabled.
- Choose the tool surface with `WEAPP_TOOLS_PROFILE`, category switches, and per-tool allow/deny lists.
- Redact sensitive output by default, including tokens, tickets, cookies, sessions, phone numbers, email addresses, and local home paths.
- Save screenshots to local temp files by default instead of returning inline images.
- Require explicit consent for high-risk capabilities through per-call `riskConsent` or `WEAPP_ALLOW_*` switches.
- Patch vulnerable transitive dependency versions through npm `overrides`.
- Works with any MCP client that supports stdio servers.
## Tech Stack
- TypeScript and Node.js 18+ for a local stdio MCP server.
- `fastmcp` and `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` for MCP transport and tool registration.
- `miniprogram-automator` plus the official WeChat DevTools CLI for local automation.
- `zod` plus a redaction-first policy for connection parsing, safety checks, and output limits.
## Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or newer.
- WeChat Mini Program DevTools.
- A Mini Program project that can open in DevTools.
- DevTools security settings enabled:
- HTTP debugging
- Automation testing
### Start WeChat DevTools Automation
macOS:
```bash
/Applications/wechatwebdevtools.app/Contents/MacOS/cli auto \
--project /path/to/your/project \
--auto-port 9420
```
Windows:
```cmd
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Tencent\微信web开发者工具\cli.bat" auto --project C:\path\to\your\project --auto-port 9420
```
### Install In An MCP Client
Use directly from GitHub:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"weapp-dev": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "github:Mileson/weapp-devtools-mcp"],
"env": {
"WEAPP_WS_ENDPOINT": "ws://localhost:9420"
}
}
}
}
```
Local development:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Mileson/weapp-devtools-mcp.git
cd weapp-devtools-mcp
npm ci
npm run build
WEAPP_WS_ENDPOINT=ws://localhost:9420 node dist/index.js
```
## Tools
Application tools:
- `mp_ensureConnection`: verify the automation session and current page.
- `mp_navigate`: navigate with `navigateTo`, `redirectTo`, `reLaunch`, `switchTab`, or `navigateBack`.
- `mp_screenshot`: capture the current viewport. Saves locally by default.
- `mp_callWx`: call Mini Program `wx` methods; high-risk methods require `riskConsent` or an allow switch.
- `mp_getLogs`: read captured console logs.
- `mp_currentPage`: inspect current route, query, size, scroll position, and optional data.
- `mp_listProjects`: list recent projects discovered from local DevTools data.
- `mp_setDefaultProject`: store a default local project path.
Page tools:
- `page_snapshot`, `page_getElement`, `page_getElements`, `page_waitElement`, `page_waitTimeout`
- `page_getData`, `page_setData`, `page_callMethod`
Element tools:
- `element_tap`, `element_input`, `element_callMethod`
- `element_getData`, `element_setData`
- `element_getInnerElement`, `element_getInnerElements`
- `element_getWxml`, `element_getStyles`
- `element_scrollTo`, `element_getAttributes`, `element_getBoundingClientRect`
Network and debugging tools:
- `mp_startNetwork`, `mp_stopNetwork`, `mp_getNetworkRequests`, `mp_getNetworkRequest`, `mp_clearNetworkRequests`
- `assert_element`: assert existence, text, value, attributes, and visibility by selector.
- `mp_toolConfig`: inspect the active tool profile and high-risk capability switches.
Runtime and CLI tools:
- `mp_evaluate`: run a function in the Mini Program runtime.
- `mp_mockWx`, `mp_restoreWx`: mock or restore `wx` methods.
- `mp_runCli`: run the local WeChat DevTools CLI without shell expansion.
## Privacy Defaults
The server is designed to avoid accidental data leakage in agent transcripts:
- Text and JSON outputs are redacted by default.
- `element_input` does not echo typed values.
- Screenshots are saved to local temp files unless inline screenshots are explicitly enabled.
- High-risk `wx`, evaluate, mock, and CLI capabilities require per-call consent or explicit environment switches.
- DevTools launch logs redact account and ticket arguments.
- Local MCP config is written with `0600` permissions.
