Overview

What is playwright-sse-mcp-server?

playwright-sse-mcp-server provides Playwright as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, enabling MCP clients to use Playwright’s browser automation features. It runs inside a Docker container and is intended for developers who need browser control from MCP-compatible tools.

How to use playwright-sse-mcp-server?

Clone the repository and run docker compose up --build in the project root. The server starts on port 3002 by default; set the PORT environment variable for a custom port. Connect from other containers on the same Docker network via playwright-sse-mcp-server:<PORT>/sse, or from the host via localhost:<PORT>/sse. For Roo Code, configure the MCP settings with the SSE URL. Helper shell scripts (playwright-mcp-start, playwright-mcp-stop, playwright-mcp-logs) are provided for convenient control.

Key features of playwright-sse-mcp-server

  • Playwright browser automation exposed via MCP SSE transport
  • Docker‑based deployment with configurable port (default 3002)
  • Connects from same Docker network, host, or development containers
  • Shell scripts for start/stop/logs with persistent mode and restart policies
  • Requires a pre‑existing Docker network named mcp-network

Use cases of playwright-sse-mcp-server

  • Use an MCP client like Roo Code to automate browser tasks
  • Run headless Playwright inside a container for testing or scraping
  • Integrate browser automation into MCP‑based workflows

FAQ from playwright-sse-mcp-server

What are the prerequisites for running the server?

Docker and docker‑compose must be installed. A Docker network named mcp-network must exist; if not, create it with docker network create mcp-network.

How do I connect from a development container not on mcp-network?

Use the host IP or special DNS name. On Docker Desktop (Mac/Windows) use host.docker.internal:<PORT>/sse. On Linux, use the host’s IP or the Docker bridge gateway (e.g., 172.17.0.1). The port must match the one published in compose.yml.

Does Cline support this server?

As of 2025/03/27, Cline does not support SSE, so it cannot be used with this server.

Can I change the default port?

Yes, set the environment variable PORT before starting the server. For example: PORT=4000 docker compose up --build.

What mode does Playwright run in?

The server runs Playwright in headless mode.
