Browser automation using Playwright MCP. Navigate websites, fill forms, click elements, take screenshots, and extract data. Use when tasks require web browsing, form submission, web scraping, UI testing, or any browser interaction.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Browser Automation
Automate browser interactions via Playwright MCP server.
## Server Lifecycle
### Start Server
```bash
# Using helper script (recommended)
bash scripts/start-server.sh
# Or manually
npx @playwright/mcp@latest --port 8808 --shared-browser-context &
```
### Stop Server
```bash
# Using helper script (closes browser first)
bash scripts/stop-server.sh
# Or manually
python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call -u http://localhost:8808 -t browser_close -p '{}'
pkill -f "@playwright/mcp"
```
### When to Stop
- **End of task**: Stop when browser work is complete
- **Long sessions**: Keep running if doing multiple browser tasks
- **Errors**: Stop and restart if browser becomes unresponsive
**Important:** The `--shared-browser-context` flag is required to maintain browser state across multiple mcp-client.py calls. Without it, each call gets a fresh browser context.
## Quick Reference
### Navigation
```bash
# Go to URL
python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call -u http://localhost:8808 -t browser_navigate \
-p '{"url": "https://example.com"}'
# Go back
python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call -u http://localhost:8808 -t browser_navigate_back -p '{}'
```
### Get Page State
```bash
…
The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20251221.f6c90d7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
