What it does
playwright-plus-python-mcp is a small Python MCP server that exposes Playwright browser actions to an MCP client such as Claude Desktop. Running locally, it lets the agent open a URL (starting a browser session when needed), click by CSS selector or by text, fill inputs, run JavaScript, take page or element screenshots, and read the visible text or the HTML of the page. The README still carries parts of the MCP Python server template, including a note-storage resource and a summarise-notes prompt, and its configuration section is unfinished, so setup guidance is limited to a Claude Desktop entry that runs it with uv or uvx.
Capabilities
- Navigate to a URL
- Click elements by selector or by text
- Fill input fields
- Run JavaScript in the page
- Take page or element screenshots
- Read the text or HTML of the page
