Setup notes from publisher documentation
- The publisher requires Node.js 18 or newer and an MCP-compatible client.
- The documented basic local setup runs the @playwright/mcp package with npx. This guide pins the Registry package version instead of silently substituting latest.
- The basic setup example supplies no API credential. Websites automated through the browser can still require their own login and permissions.

Configure these in your MCP client. This page does not collect credentials. Requiredness and secret flags below come from the Registry snapshot; publisher notes above can clarify alternative setup paths.
No required inputs are declared in this connection’s metadata. Other setup requirements may still apply.
Sources & review
Documentation checked 2026-10-23. Runtime prerequisite and basic local package setup checked. No package was launched and no browser action was executed.
Registry inputs are a dated snapshot. Publisher checks are separate, scoped observations. The downloadable bundle preserves the original draft plus the documentation review; it is not a ready-to-run client configuration.
