To use docker-playwright-mcp, you need to build the Docker image using the command ‘docker build -t docker-playwright-mcp .’. After building, you can inspect the MCP with ‘sudo npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node build/index.js’. Finally, run the application with ‘docker run -i --name playwright-mcp -p 8931:8931 -p 3000:3000 -p 6274:6274 --rm docker-playwright-mcp:latest’.

Key features

Key features include automated browser testing, web scraping capabilities, easy integration with the MCP framework, and the ability to run in a Docker container for simplified deployment.

Where to use

docker-playwright-mcp can be used in web development environments, automated testing scenarios, and data extraction tasks where browser interaction is required.

To build

docker build -t docker-playwright-mcp .

To inspect mcp

sudo npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node build/index.js

Run the container

docker run -i --name playwright-mcp -p 8931:8931 -p 3000:3000 -p 6274:6274 --rm docker-playwright-mcp:latest

[Optional] Start the server as the VNC enabled user (if running outside of vscode. In vscode, just start the mcp server configured in settings):

docker exec -u abc -w /app playwright-mcp './start-server.sh'

Known Issues:

1. Firefox is not installed during docker build. This means that the tool browser_install will run when you use the MCP with an LLM agent. This runs the browser in headless mode.
