This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server provides browser automation through Playwright, enabling large language models to interact with real web pages, capture screenshots, and run JavaScript in a real browser. It’s portable, builds to a binary with no runtime dependencies, and integrates with MCP clients to perform browser-based tasks.

How to use

You connect to this MCP server from an MCP client to perform browser automation tasks. The server runs as a local process and exposes standard MCP endpoints that your client can invoke to navigate pages, interact with elements, capture screenshots, and execute JavaScript within a Playwright-controlled browser.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before building: you should have Deno 2 installed on your system. You will compile a binary for your platform using the provided build tasks.

# Build for macOS (tested)
