First-party plugins

The four Kalebtec-maintained plugins that ship from this repo (packages/plugins/*) and publish on npm under the @browxai/* scope. This page is the adopter-facing reference for each plugin’s full tool surface: what it adapts, what it returns, and what it needs enabled on the host. For the install model and CLI see docs/plugins.md; for writing your own plugin see docs/plugin-authoring.md.

Plugin	Namespace	Capabilities	What it adapts
@browxai/plugin-example	example	(none)	Nothing. It is the canonical runtime-contract reference.
@browxai/plugin-figma	figma	eval + canvas	Figma, via the page-side figma.* plugin-context global.
@browxai/plugin-tldraw	tldraw	eval + canvas	Tldraw v2+, via the window.editor global.
@browxai/plugin-excalidraw	excalidraw	eval + canvas	Excalidraw 0.17+, via the window.excalidrawAPI global.

Why the canvas adapters declare eval + canvas

Every canvas-adapter tool is a thin wrapper around an api.callTool("eval_js", {expr}) round-trip: the plugin builds an app-API expression (figma.currentPage.selection, editor.createShapes([...]), excalidrawAPI.updateScene({...})), dispatches it through the host’s eval_js tool, and parses the JSON envelope back into a structured {ok, …} result. That inner eval_js call goes through the same capability gate a direct MCP call would, so the plugin honestly declares eval (arbitrary JS in page context) plus canvas (the canvas-app automation lane that also gates canvas_query). If either capability is missing from the server’s active set at startup, the plugin is disabled with status: "disabled-by-capability-mismatch" and the reason surfaces on plugins_list.

Enable both before starting the server:

$ BROWX_CAPABILITIES=read,navigation,action,human,eval,canvas browxai

(or persist via set_config({scope:"user", patch:{capabilities:[...]}}) and restart: capabilities and plugins are both resolved once at server start.)

The example plugin declares no capabilities. It runs on a server with the default set and exists to prove the runtime end-to-end.

Host-app detection: the <adapter>-not-loaded envelope

Each canvas adapter probes for its host app’s global before doing any work (typeof figma !== "undefined", window.editor, window.excalidrawAPI). When the app isn’t on the page (wrong tab, editor still booting, or the deployment doesn’t expose the global), every tool returns the same structured envelope instead of throwing:

{
  "ok": false,
  "error": "Tldraw not loaded — open the app first OR the surface is not exposed on this version of the app",
  "code": "tldraw-not-loaded"
}

The code is stable per adapter (figma-not-loaded, tldraw-not-loaded, excalidraw-not-loaded), so an agent loop can match on it and recover (navigate to the app, wait, retry). The other structured codes the adapters share: bad-arg (missing/invalid argument, checked before the page is touched), eval-failed (the page-side expression threw), plus per-tool codes noted below.

Calling adapter tools

Two equivalent routes:

• Direct. The tools are plain namespaced MCP tools: figma.get_selection, tldraw.create_shape, … on tools/list. On the SDK: client.plugins.figma.get_selection({}) (typed via each plugin’s schema.d.ts overlay; see docs/plugin-authoring.md).
• Via canvas_query. The canvas-substrate dispatcher maps canvas_query({adapter, op, args}) to the <adapter>.<op> registry entry. Useful for adapter-generic agent loops; if the plugin isn’t installed the dispatcher returns the structured code:"no-adapter" error naming the package to install.

@browxai/plugin-example

The canonical reference plugin. Exercises every primitive of the v1 runtime contract (register(api) entry, namespaced registration, no capabilities, empty dependsOn) and is the fixture the plugin-runtime keystone test loads end-to-end. Install it to smoke-test your plugin wiring; copy it to start your own plugin.

Tool	Args	Returns
example.echo	{msg: string}	{ok: true, result}, echoing msg back (missing msg echoes "").
example.add	{a: number, b: number}	{ok: true, sum}, with non-numeric args coerced to 0.
example.now	(none)	{ok: true, iso, epochMs}.

@browxai/plugin-figma

Adapts Figma through the page-side figma.* global that Figma exposes in its plugin-iframe context. Targets the long-stable core of Figma’s plugin API: figma.viewport.{center,zoom}, figma.currentPage.selection, figma.getNodeById(), figma.createRectangle(), and mutable x/y/fills on scene nodes.

Tool	Args	Returns
figma.get_selection	(none)	{ok, nodes: [{id, name, type, x, y, width, height}]}
figma.get_viewport	(none)	{ok, center: {x, y}, zoom}
figma.select_node	{nodeId: string}	{ok, nodeId}, or code:"node-not-found"
figma.move_node	{nodeId: string, dx: number, dy: number}	{ok, nodeId, x, y} (post-move position), or code:"node-not-found"
figma.create_rectangle	{x, y, width, height, fillColor?: {r, g, b}} (r/g/b are 0-1 floats, Figma’s color convention; width/height must be > 0)	{ok, nodeId}

Error codes: figma-not-loaded, bad-arg, node-not-found, eval-failed.

@browxai/plugin-tldraw

Adapts Tldraw v2+ through the window.editor global that Tldraw exposes when an Editor component is mounted. Targets the v2 Editor API: editor.getSelectedShapes(), editor.getViewportPageBounds(), editor.getZoomLevel(), editor.createShapes(), editor.deleteShapes(), editor.setSelectedShapes().

Tool	Args	Returns
tldraw.get_selected_shapes	(none)	{ok, shapes: [{id, type, x, y, props}]}
tldraw.get_viewport	(none)	{ok, x, y, w, h, zoom} (page-space viewport bounds)
tldraw.create_shape	{type: string, x: number, y: number, props?: object}	{ok, shapeId}, id resolved by diffing the page shape list before/after; code:"create-failed" if no new shape appeared
tldraw.delete_shape	{shapeId: string}	{ok, shapeId}
tldraw.select_shapes	{shapeIds: string[]}	{ok, shapeIds}

Error codes: tldraw-not-loaded, bad-arg, create-failed, eval-failed.

@browxai/plugin-excalidraw

Adapts Excalidraw 0.17+ through the window.excalidrawAPI global, the imperative ref the Excalidraw React component hands to its host page (the public excalidraw.com deployment forwards it by default; self-hosted embeds must do the same for this plugin to find it). Targets excalidrawAPI.getSceneElements(), excalidrawAPI.getAppState(), excalidrawAPI.updateScene().

Tool	Args	Returns
excalidraw.get_scene_state	(none)	{ok, elements: [{id, type, x, y, width, height}], appState: {viewBackgroundColor, viewModeEnabled, zoom}}
excalidraw.get_viewport	(none)	{ok, scrollX, scrollY, zoom}
excalidraw.add_element	{type, x, y, width, height, ...passthrough} (extra fields forwarded to Excalidraw verbatim; id minted via crypto.randomUUID() when not supplied)	{ok, elementId}
excalidraw.delete_element	{elementId: string}	{ok, elementId}, or code:"element-not-found"
excalidraw.set_scroll	{scrollX: number, scrollY: number}	{ok, scrollX, scrollY}

Error codes: excalidraw-not-loaded, bad-arg, element-not-found, eval-failed.

Usage walkthrough

End-to-end, using Tldraw as the example (the same flow works for any adapter: swap the install name, the URL, and the ops):

# 1. Install the plugin (workspace-rooted; see docs/plugins.md).
$ browxai plugin install @browxai/plugin-tldraw

# 2. Start the server with eval + canvas enabled.
$ BROWX_CAPABILITIES=read,navigation,action,human,eval,canvas browxai

// 3. Confirm the plugin loaded.
plugins_list()
// → [{ "name": "@browxai/plugin-tldraw", "namespace": "tldraw",
//      "version": "0.1.0", "trust": "kalebtec",
//      "capabilities": ["eval", "canvas"], "dependsOn": [],
//      "status": "loaded",
//      "tools": ["tldraw.get_selected_shapes", "tldraw.get_viewport",
//                "tldraw.create_shape", "tldraw.delete_shape",
//                "tldraw.select_shapes"], ... }]

// 4. Open the canvas app.
navigate({ url: "https://www.tldraw.com/" })

// 5. Drive it through the dispatcher (or call tldraw.* directly).
canvas_query({ adapter: "tldraw", op: "get_viewport" })
// → { "ok": true, "x": 0, "y": 0, "w": 1280, "h": 720, "zoom": 1 }

canvas_query({ adapter: "tldraw", op: "create_shape",
               args: { type: "geo", x: 128, y: 128 } })
// → { "ok": true, "shapeId": "shape:abc123" }

Per-adapter step 5 equivalents:

// figma — open a Figma file in the editor first
canvas_query({ adapter: "figma", op: "get_selection" })
canvas_query({ adapter: "figma", op: "create_rectangle",
               args: { x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 120,
                       fillColor: { r: 0.9, g: 0.2, b: 0.2 } } })

// excalidraw — open https://excalidraw.com/ first
canvas_query({ adapter: "excalidraw", op: "get_scene_state" })
canvas_query({ adapter: "excalidraw", op: "add_element",
               args: { type: "rectangle", x: 64, y: 64,
                       width: 200, height: 120 } })

If a step-5 call returns code:"no-adapter", the plugin isn’t loaded. Check plugins_list() for the status + reason, and remember the runtime is resolved once at server start (install → restart → retry). If it returns code:"<adapter>-not-loaded", the plugin is fine but the app isn’t on the current page.

For deeper introspection on one plugin (full manifest, lock pin, transitive deps, registered tool schemas) call plugins_info({name: "@browxai/plugin-tldraw"}).

Trust note

All four plugins are trust tier kalebtec: maintained in the browxai monorepo, released through the same OIDC-trusted-publishing pipeline as the host package, npm-provenance signed. But trust is advisory, not a sandbox: browxai plugins run in-process with full Node access, and the runtime gates every tier identically at capability + call-graph time. Treat installing any plugin, these four included, like adding an npm dependency: review what it declares (browxai plugin info <pkg>), grant only the capabilities it needs, and audit the live set with plugins_list. See docs/plugin-governance.md for the tier definitions and review process.

Versioning

Each plugin’s manifest carries an advisory browxaiVersion range (the host versions it was tested against) and a binding apiVersion (the plugin-runtime contract major; see docs/plugin-authoring.md). The canvas adapters track the upstream app APIs noted per section above; if an upstream app renames a method, the fix is an eval-expression swap in the plugin’s src/index.ts and a patch release.
