Integration Examples

Practical examples of using developer tools in real-world scenarios

Custom Element Detection

Add custom rules for element detection

// Add custom detection rule
$webmcp.addRule({
  selector: '[data-webmcp-role]',
  priority: 'high',
  extractor: (element) => ({
    role: element.dataset.webmcpRole,
    name: element.name || element.id,
    semantic: element.getAttribute('aria-label')
  })
});

// Apply custom rules
const elements = $webmcp.scan({useCustomRules: true});

Optimization Monitoring

Monitor optimization performance in real-time

// Set up performance monitoring
$webmcp.monitor({
  onOptimization: (result) => {
    console.log('Optimization complete:', result);
    if (result.tokenReduction > 50) {
      console.log('✅ Excellent optimization!');
    }
  },
  onError: (error) => {
    console.error('Optimization failed:', error);
  }
});

// Start monitoring
$webmcp.startMonitoring();

Automated Testing

Automate webMCP testing with custom assertions

// Custom test assertions
function assertOptimization(elements, expectedReduction) {
  const result = $webmcp.optimize(elements);
  console.assert(
    result.tokenReduction >= expectedReduction,
    `Expected ${expectedReduction}% reduction, got ${result.tokenReduction}%`
  );
}

// Run tests
const loginElements = $webmcp.scan('#login-form');
assertOptimization(loginElements, 60);
