smithery badge

This MCP (Model Context Protocol) server uses Playwright to open a browser, monitor console logs, and track network requests. It exposes these capabilities as tools that can be used by MCP clients.

Features

  • Open a browser at a specified URL
  • Monitor and retrieve console logs
  • Track and retrieve network requests
  • Close the browser when done

Requirements

  • Python 3.8+
  • Playwright
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) Python SDK

Installation in claude

Edit the file: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add this:

"playwright": { "command": "/Users/christophersettles/.local/bin/uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/playwrightdebugger/", "run", "mcp_playwright.py" ] }

(Replace /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/playwrightdebugger/ with the absolute path to the directory where you cloned the repository)

Commands

Open localhost:3000/dashboard and look at console logs and network requests

Close the browser

How It Works

The server uses Playwright's event listeners to capture console messages and network activity. When a client requests this information, the server returns it in a structured format that can be used by the LLM.
