Playwright

Cursor plugin that connects agents to a real browser through Microsoft's Playwright MCP server.

Navigate pages, click and fill elements, take accessibility snapshots and screenshots, and run end-to-end checks from chat.

Install

1. Open Cursor Settings → Plugins.
2. Search for Playwright.
3. Click Install.

Or run /add-plugin playwright in chat.

Requirements

This is a local stdio MCP server. Cursor launches it with npx -y @playwright/mcp@latest, so the machine running Cursor needs Node.js installed and on PATH. The -y flag skips npx's install confirmation so the first launch cannot hang waiting for interactive input over stdio.

The first run downloads Playwright's browser binaries. That can take a minute and needs network access; later runs reuse the cached browsers.

MCP

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@playwright/mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

No credentials are required. The server runs locally and drives a browser on the same machine.
