A Model Context Protocol server that provides browser automation capabilities using Playwright and Deno 2.
📌Overview
Purpose: The framework aims to facilitate browser automation through a Model Context Protocol server using Playwright, enabling interaction with web pages by large language models (LLMs).
Overview: This server, compatible with Deno 2, provides robust capabilities for automating browser tasks such as taking screenshots and executing JavaScript in a real browser environment. Its design draws inspiration from the official Puppeteer MCP server, making it a reliable choice for developers seeking to implement browser-based LLM interactions.
Key Features:
-
Browser Automation: Enables LLMs to interact with web pages seamlessly, enhancing the capabilities of applications that require web automation.
-
Cross-Platform Support: Offers the ability to build executable binaries for various operating systems, including macOS, Linux (x86_64 and ARM64), and Windows, ensuring flexibility and accessibility for multiple environments.
Deno 2 Playwright Model Context Protocol Server Example
A Model Context Protocol server that provides browser automation capabilities using Playwright. This server enables LLMs to interact with web pages, take screenshots, and execute JavaScript in a real browser environment.
This repo uses Deno 2, which allows compiling a binary that runs without any runtime dependencies.
The code is heavily based on the official Puppeteer MCP server: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/puppeteer
How to build
The mac binary build has been tested, but you should be able to build an executable binary for:
- mac
- Linux x86_64
- Linux ARM64
- Windows x86_64
Build commands:
deno task build-mac
deno task build-linux-x86_64
deno task build-linux-ARM64
deno task build-windows-x86_64
How to run
To run the playwright-server binary, update your ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
to point to the binary:
{
"mcpServers": {
"playwright": {
"command": "/path/to/deno2-playwright-mcp-server/playwright-server"
}
}
