feat(screenshot): add JPEG quality parameter support (#184)
## Summary This PR adds support for the `quality` parameter when taking JPEG screenshots, allowing users to control compression levels and significantly reduce file sizes. ## Problem Currently, the Chrome DevTools MCP doesn't expose the `quality` parameter that Puppeteer natively supports. This leads to: - Large screenshot file sizes (especially problematic for AI assistants with image size limits) - No control over JPEG compression - Inability to optimize screenshots for different use cases ## Solution Added the `quality` parameter (0-100) to the screenshot tool schema and passed it through to Puppeteer's screenshot method. ## Changes - ✅ Added `quality` parameter to screenshot schema with proper validation (0-100 range) - ✅ Pass quality parameter to Puppeteer's `screenshot()` method - ✅ Added `optimizeForSpeed` flag for improved encoding performance - ✅ Updated documentation via `npm run docs` ## Testing Tested locally with various quality settings: - **PNG (baseline):** 128 KB - **JPEG quality 100:** 245 KB - **JPEG quality 50:** 84 KB (35% reduction) - **JPEG quality 30:** 66 KB (49% reduction) ## Impact This change is **backward compatible** - the quality parameter is optional and doesn't affect existing usage. It particularly helps with: - AI assistants that have image size limits (e.g., 8000px max dimension errors) - Reducing bandwidth when capturing many screenshots - Optimizing storage for screenshot-heavy workflows ## Example Usage ```javascript // New capability - control JPEG quality await take_screenshot({ format: 'jpeg', quality: 50, // New parameter! fullPage: false }) ``` ## Checklist - [x] Code follows conventional commits - [x] Documentation updated with `npm run docs` - [x] Tested locally - [x] Backward compatible - [ ] CLA signed (will complete if needed) Fixes #[issue-number] (if applicable) Co-authored-by: aberemia24 <aberemia@gmail.com>
