--- name: google-webmcp description: Connect to Google Search and Gemini through the built-in local-mcp Google adapter and one fixed UXC link. Use when the user wants to run Google searches, chat with Gemini, or download generated Gemini images from an authenticated browser profile. --- # Google WebMCP Use this skill to operate Google Search and Gemini through the built-in `--site google` bridge preset in `@webmcp-bridge/local-mcp`. For generic bridge setup patterns or non-Google sites, switch to `$webmcp-bridge`. ## Prerequisites - `uxc` is installed and available in `PATH`. - `npx` is installed and available in `PATH`. - Network access to `https://www.google.com` and `https://gemini.google.com`. - On a fresh machine, or under an isolated `HOME`, install Playwright browsers first with `npx playwright install`. - Gemini is auth-sensitive. Expect `bootstrap_then_attach` behavior when the profile is not signed in yet. ## Core Workflow 1. Ensure the fixed Google link exists: - `command -v google-webmcp-cli` - if missing or pointed at the wrong profile, run `skills/google-webmcp/scripts/ensure-links.sh` 2. Inspect the bridge and tool schema before calling tools: - `google-webmcp-cli -h` - `google-webmcp-cli search.web -h` - `google-webmcp-cli gemini.chat -h` - `google-webmcp-cli gemini.image.download -h` 3. Check authentication state first when Gemini may need sign-in: - `google-webmcp-cli bridge.session.status` - `google-webmcp-cli auth.get` - if the session is not ready, start bootstrap or switch to headed: - `google-webmcp-cli bridge.session.bootstrap` - `google-webmcp-cli bridge.session.mode.set '{"mode":"headed"}'` - `google-webmcp-cli bridge.open` 4. Use search tools for public search results: - `google-webmcp-cli search.web '{"query":"playwright browser automation","limit":10}'` - `google-webmcp-cli page.get` 5. Use Gemini through the same authenticated browser profile: - text: `google-webmcp-cli gemini.chat '{"prompt":"Summarize these results","mode":"text","timeoutMs":180000}'` - image: `google-webmcp-cli gemini.chat '{"prompt":"a watercolor fox reading documentation","mode":"image","timeoutMs":300000}'` - download current visible images: `google-webmcp-cli gemini.image.download '{"limit":4,"timeoutMs":120000}'` 6. Use debug and navigation helpers only when necessary: - `google-webmcp-cli page.navigate '{"url":"https://gemini.google.com/app"}'` - `google-webmcp-cli page.inspect '{"limit":20}'` 7. Parse JSON output only: - success path: `.ok == true`, consume `.data` - failure path: `.ok == false`, inspect `.error.code` and `.error.message` ## Default Target The built-in preset uses: ```bash --site google ``` The default profile path is: ```bash ~/.uxc/webmcp-profile/google ``` Refresh the link with: ```bash skills/google-webmcp/scripts/ensure-links.sh ``` ## Guardrails - Keep the Google profile isolated from other sites. - Google uses `bootstrap_then_attach`; do not expect Gemini tools to work until the managed profile is authenticated. - Prefer explicit `bridge.session.mode.set` over relaunching the command to change runtime mode. - Long Gemini generations can legitimately take minutes. Increase `timeoutMs` instead of spawning parallel retries. - `gemini.image.download` works on visible generated images in the current or target conversation. Do not assume it can recover images that are no longer visible. - `page.navigate` must stay on Google-owned hosts only. - If the user closes the visible Google window manually, the headed owner session ends. Run `google-webmcp-cli bridge.open` again if you still need a visible session on the same profile. ## References - Common command patterns: - `references/usage-patterns.md` - Link creation helper: - `scripts/ensure-links.sh`
