Install

npx @automatalabs/mcp-server-playwright install

Creates or updates the Claude config on Windows and macOS.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The server gives the model a real browser driven by Playwright. Tools open a URL, click or hover by CSS selector or text, fill inputs, pick select options, capture page or element screenshots and run JavaScript. Console logs and saved screenshots are exposed as console://logs and screenshot:// resources.

Who it is for. Claude Desktop and Cursor users who want the agent to open and interact with web pages itself.

Good fit when

  • You need to check how a page looks and behaves after changes
  • You need to walk through a site, fill a form and take screenshots
  • You need browser console logs while reproducing a bug

Not a fit when

  • You need Linux support in the automatic installer: it only checks Windows and macOS
  • You need a CI test suite: the server is built for interactive agent use

Example request

Open the login page on localhost:3000, enter test credentials and take a screenshot of the result

Limitations

The npx installer writes the Claude config only on Windows and macOS. For Cursor you need to install browsers separately with npx playwright install. The server is built on the early MCP SDK 0.5.0.

How to disable. Remove the playwright block from claude_desktop_config.json or from Cursor's MCP config.
