About Playwright MCP Server
The Playwright MCP Server is a utility server that leverages Microsoft's Playwright framework to provide browser automation capabilities through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It enables AI assistants to interact with web pages using structured accessibility snapshots, eliminating the need for visual models. Key features include:
- Fast and Lightweight: Utilizes Playwright's accessibility tree for interactions, ensuring efficient performance without relying on pixel-based inputs.
- LLM-Friendly: Operates purely on structured data, facilitating seamless integration with Large Language Models (LLMs) without the need for vision models.
- Deterministic Tool Application: Provides consistent and reliable interactions, avoiding ambiguities common in screenshot-based approaches.
Designed for local operation, the server requires Node.js (version 18 or higher) and is actively maintained as an open-source project.
