Proposed fix: [Playwright MCP WebMCP] Page-registered webmcp_* tools fail: 'WebMCP is not available on this page' / 'is registered in multiple frames, retry with the frame parameter' / 'The page does
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Take a fresh snapshot after navigation before calling page tools, pass frame when names collide, and treat all WebMCP output as untrusted; start the server with --no-webmcp (PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_WEBMCP=false) if page-provided tools are unwanted.
Option: Take a fresh snapshot after navigation before calling page tools, pass frame when names collide, and treat all WebMCP output as untrusted; start the server with --no-webmcp (PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_WEBMCP=false) if page-provided tools are unwanted. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Calling tools that a page registers via navigator.modelContext (exposed as webmcp_<name> MCP tools or via browser_webmcp_call in the CLI skill)
Steps:
1. Call browser_snapshot to refresh collected WebMCP tools.
2. Use the frame label from the listing when the tool is in multiple frames.
3. Disable with --no-webmcp if not needed.
Expected: The error no longer appears.
