DOM elements are non-serializable and therefore cannot be directly sent between the inspected page and the MCP server. JSONSchema also has no native type for DOM elements.
If an in-page tool expects a DOM element as an input parameter, it should specify this in its input schema by adding
'x-mcp-type': 'HTMLElement'to the object it expects to be a DOM element.The MCP server internally refers to DOM elements by a UID (UIDs are assigned when generating a page snapshot which is based on the page's accessibility tree).
This change provides the mapping between DOM element and UID in both directions:
'x-mcp-type': 'HTMLElement'. This allows the MCP server to call the in-page tool with UIDs where the tool expects DOM elements.
