Playwright bundles MCP server and playwright-cli

Introduced 2026-07-24 · score 0.97

HOW TO USE IT

When developing or inspecting a project with browser automation, run `npx playwright mcp` to start the MCP server or `npx playwright cli` to invoke the CLI. For CLI use, pass a documented command such as `open <url>`; use the release’s bundled entry points.

npx playwright mcp
npx playwright cli --help
npx playwright cli open <url>

WHY THIS HELPS

Use Playwright's bundled command line or MCP server while developing or inspecting a project.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

  • Version: v1.62.0
  • Prerequisite: MCP docs list Node.js 20 or newer and an MCP client as prerequisites.
  • Prerequisite: CLI docs list Node.js 20 or newer and a coding agent as prerequisites.
  • The release says the server and CLI are bundled with Playwright.
  • Docs conflict: Current MCP setup docs show `npx @playwright/mcp@latest`; current CLI setup docs show installing `@playwright/cli` and using `npx playwright cli`. These describe separate package setup; the v1.62.0 release says the Playwright package bundles both entry points.
