+## Playwright MCP
+
+A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides browser automation capabilities using [Playwright](https://playwright.dev). This server enables LLMs to interact with web pages through structured accessibility snapshots, bypassing the need for screenshots or visually-tuned models.
+
+### Playwright MCP vs Playwright CLI
+
+This package provides MCP interface into Playwright. If you are using a **coding agent**, you might benefit from using the [CLI+SKILLS](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-cli) instead.
+
+- **CLI**: Modern **coding agents** increasingly favor CLI–based workflows exposed as SKILLs over MCP because CLI invocations are more token-efficient: they avoid loading large tool schemas and verbose accessibility trees into the model context, allowing agents to act through concise, purpose-built commands. This makes CLI + SKILLs better suited for high-throughput coding agents that must balance browser automation with large codebases, tests, and reasoning within limited context windows.<br>**Learn more about [Playwright CLI with SKILLS](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-cli)**.
+
+- **MCP**: MCP remains relevant for specialized agentic loops that benefit from persistent state, rich introspection, and iterative reasoning over page structure, such as exploratory automation, self-healing tests, or long-running autonomous workflows where maintaining continuous browser context outweighs token cost concerns.
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Fast and lightweight**. Uses Playwright's accessibility tree, not pixel-based input.
+- **LLM-friendly**. No vision models needed, operates purely on structured data.
+- **Deterministic tool application**. Avoids ambiguity common with screenshot-based approaches.
+
+### Requirements
+- Node.js 18 or newer
+- VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, Goose, Junie or any other MCP client
+
+<!--
+// Generate using:
+node utils/generate-links.js
+-->
+
+### Getting started
+
+First, install the Playwright MCP server with your client.
+
+**Standard config** works in most of the tools:
+
+```js
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "playwright": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": [
+        "@playwright/mcp@latest"
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```

+
+### User profile
+
+You can run Playwright MCP with persistent profile like a regular browser (default), in isolated contexts for testing sessions, or connect to your existing browser using the browser extension.
+
+**Persistent profile**
+
+All the logged in information will be stored in the persistent profile, you can delete it between sessions if you'd like to clear the offline state.
+Persistent profile is located at the following locations and you can override it with the `--user-data-dir` argument.
+
+```bash
+# Windows
+%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\ms-playwright\mcp-{channel}-{workspace-hash}
+
+# macOS
+- ~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/mcp-{channel}-{workspace-hash}
+
+# Linux
+- ~/.cache/ms-playwright/mcp-{channel}-{workspace-hash}
+```
+
+`{workspace-hash}` is derived from the MCP client's workspace root, so different projects get separate profiles automatically.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> A persistent profile can only be used by one browser instance at a time, so concurrent MCP clients sharing the same workspace will conflict. To run several clients in parallel, start each additional client with `--isolated` or point it at a distinct `--user-data-dir`.
+
+**Isolated**
+
+In the isolated mode, each session is started in the isolated profile. Every time you ask MCP to close the browser,
+the session is closed and all the storage state for this session is lost. You can provide initial storage state
+to the browser via the config's `contextOptions` or via the `--storage-state` argument. Learn more about the storage
+state [here](https://playwright.dev/docs/auth).
+
+```js
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "playwright": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": [
+        "@playwright/mcp@latest",
+        "--isolated",
+        "--storage-state={path/to/storage.json}"
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Browser Extension**
+
+The Playwright MCP Chrome Extension allows you to connect to existing browser tabs and leverage your logged-in sessions and browser state. See [microsoft/playwright › packages/extension](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/tree/main/packages/extension#readme) for installation and setup instructions.
+
+### Initial state
+
+There are multiple ways to provide the initial state to the browser context or a page.
+
+For the storage state, you can either:
+- Start with a user data directory using the `--user-data-dir` argument. This will persist all browser data between the sessions.
+- Start with a storage state file using the `--storage-state` argument. This will load cookies and local storage from the file into an isolated browser context.
+
+For the page state, you can use:
+
+- `--init-page` to point to a TypeScript file that will be evaluated on the Playwright page object. This allows you to run arbitrary code to set up the page.
+
+```ts
+// init-page.ts
+export default async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.context().grantPermissions(['geolocation']);
+  await page.context().setGeolocation({ latitude: 37.7749, longitude: -122.4194 });
+  await page.setViewportSize({ width: 1280, height: 720 });
+};
+```
+
+- `--init-script` to point to a JavaScript file that will be added as an initialization script. The script will be evaluated in every page before any of the page's scripts.
+This is useful for overriding browser APIs or setting up the environment.
+
+```js
+// init-script.js
+window.isPlaywrightMCP = true;
+```
+

+
+### Standalone MCP server
+
+When running headed browser on system w/o display or from worker processes of the IDEs,
+run the MCP server from environment with the DISPLAY and pass the `--port` flag to enable HTTP transport.
+
+```bash
+npx @playwright/mcp@latest --port 8931
+```
+
+And then in MCP client config, set the `url` to the HTTP endpoint:
+
+```js
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "playwright": {
+      "url": "http://localhost:8931/mcp"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Security
+
+Playwright MCP is **not** a security boundary. See [MCP Security Best Practices](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/tutorials/security/security_best_practices) for guidance on securing your deployment.
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Docker</b></summary>
+
+**NOTE:** The Docker implementation only supports headless chromium at the moment.
+
+```js
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "playwright": {
+      "command": "docker",
+      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "--init", "--pull=always", "mcr.microsoft.com/playwright/mcp"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Or If you prefer to run the container as a long-lived service instead of letting the MCP client spawn it, use:
+
+```
+docker run -d -i --rm --init --pull=always \
+  --entrypoint node \
+  --name playwright \
+  -p 8931:8931 \
+  mcr.microsoft.com/playwright/mcp \
+  /app/cli.js --headless --browser chromium --no-sandbox --port 8931 --host 0.0.0.0
+```
+
+The server will listen on host port **8931** and can be reached by any MCP client.  
+
+You can build the Docker image yourself.
+
+```
+docker build -t mcr.microsoft.com/playwright/mcp .
+```
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Programmatic usage</b></summary>
+
+```js
+import http from 'http';
+
+import { createConnection } from '@playwright/mcp';
+import { SSEServerTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/sse.js';
+
+http.createServer(async (req, res) => {
+  // ...
