Deno 2 Playwright Model Context Protocol Server Example

Deno 2 Playwright Model Context Protocol Server Example

A Model Context Protocol server that provides browser automation capabilities using Playwright. This server enables LLMs to interact with web pages, take screenshots, and execute JavaScript in a real browser environment.

This repo uses Deno 2, which has nice ergonomics, because you can compile a binary and run it without any runtime dependencies.

This code is heavily based on the official Puppeteer MCP server, which you can find here: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/puppeteer

How to build

Only the mac binary build has been tested, but you should be able to build an executable binary for linux x86_64, linux ARM64, and windows x86_64.

• deno task build-mac
• deno task build-linux-x86_64
• deno task build-linux-ARM64
• deno task build-windows-x86_64

How to run

To invoke the playwright-server binary, you need to update your ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json to point to the binary.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright": {
      "command": "/path/to/deno2-playwright-mcp-server/playwright-server"
    }
  }
