Read operations work but write operations (click, type, hover) fail with "No tab with given id"

Description

After connecting the Browser MCP extension to a tab, read operations (navigate, snapshot) work correctly, but all write operations (click, type, hover) fail with error:

Error: No tab with given id 775020060

The tab ID is always the same stale ID regardless of which tab is connected.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install Browser MCP extension v0.1.3 and connect to any tab (google.com)
  2. Call snapshot — works fine
  3. Call type or click on any element from the snapshot — fails with "No tab with given id"

Environment

  • Extension: v0.1.3
  • Server: @browsermcp/[email protected]
  • Browser: Chrome
  • OS: macOS
  • Client: OpenCode desktop app
