Playwright MCP

Automate web interactions and perform web scraping tasks using the Playwright framework.

This repository contains everything needed to launch and connect to a working Playwright MCP (Model Context Protocol) server.

This setup allows you to automate and inspect web pages usingstructured datainstead of screenshots — ideal for LLM-powered tools like Claude, Cursor, and VS Code AI agents.

One of the following MCP-compatible clients:

- VS Code or VS Code Insiders
- Cursor
- Claude Desktop

- .vscode/settings.json— VS Code configuration to launch Playwright MCP
- package.json— Includes required MCP dependencies
- README.md— This file
- .gitignore— Basic Node project ignore rules

git clone https://github.com/faruklmu17/playwright_mcp.git cd playwright-mcp-config

This installs all required packages, including@playwright/mcp.

You can change the port if needed, e.g.--port=4000

Add this to your.vscode/settings.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "playwright": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "@playwright/mcp@latest", "--port=3550" ] } } }

This tells VS Code (or Cursor) how to launch and connect to the MCP server.

5. Optional: Use Persistent or Isolated Sessions

The browser state is preserved across sessions.

{ "mcpServers": { "playwright": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "@playwright/mcp@latest", "--isolated", "--storage-state=storage/state.json" ] } } }

You can enhance your MCP server using optional flags:
