## Installation
### Installing via Smithery
To install MCP Server Playwright for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@automatalabs/mcp-server-playwright):
```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install @automatalabs/mcp-server-playwright --client claude
```
You can install the package using either npx or mcp-get:
Using npx:
```bash
npx @automatalabs/mcp-server-playwright install
```
This command will:
1. Check your operating system compatibility (Windows/macOS)
2. Create or update the Claude configuration file
3. Configure the Playwright server integration
The configuration file will be automatically created/updated at:
- Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
Using mcp-get:
```bash
npx @michaellatman/mcp-get@latest install @automatalabs/mcp-server-playwright
```
## Configuration
The installation process will automatically add the following configuration to your Claude config file:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"playwright": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@automatalabs/mcp-server-playwright"]
}
}
}
```
## Using with Cursor
You can also use MCP Server Playwright with [Cursor](https://www.cursor.so/), an AI-powered code editor. To enable browser automation in Cursor via MCP:
1. **Install Playwright browsers** (if not already):
```bash
npx playwright install
```
2. **Install MCP Server Playwright for Cursor** using Smithery:
```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install @automatalabs/mcp-server-playwright --client cursor
```
3. **Configuration file setup**:
If you do not use Claude, the configuration file (`claude_desktop_config.json`) may not be created automatically.
- On Windows, create a folder named `Claude` in `%APPDATA%` (usually `C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Roaming\Claude`).
- Inside that folder, create a file named `claude_desktop_config.json` with the following content:
```json
{
"serverPort": 3456
}
```
4. **Follow the remaining steps in the [Installation](#installation) section above** to complete the setup.
Now, you can use all the browser automation tools provided by MCP Server Playwright directly from Cursor’s AI features, such as web navigation, screenshot capture, and JavaScript execution.
> **Note:** Make sure you have Node.js installed and `npx` available in your system PATH.
