# Playwriter MCP
|
||||
|
||||
Control your Chrome browser via Model Context Protocol (MCP) using Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) events.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is Playwriter MCP?
|
||||
|
||||
Playwriter MCP is a Chrome extension that enables Playwright to connect to your existing Chrome instance without spawning a new browser or requiring Chrome to be started in CDP mode. This allows AI assistants and automation tools to interact with your browser seamlessly through the Model Context Protocol.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **No new Chrome instances**: Works with your current browser session
|
||||
- **No CDP mode required**: No need to restart Chrome with special flags
|
||||
- **MCP integration**: Exposes browser control through the Model Context Protocol
|
||||
- **CDP events**: Full access to Chrome DevTools Protocol capabilities
|
||||
- **Playwright compatible**: Connect Playwright directly to your running Chrome
|
||||
|
||||
## How it Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the extension in your Chrome browser
|
||||
2. Click the extension icon to attach the debugger to the current tab
|
||||
3. The extension creates a relay connection using CDP
|
||||
4. Connect your MCP client (like Playwright) to control the browser
|
||||
5. The icon changes color to indicate connection status:
|
||||
- Gray: Not connected
|
||||
- Green: Successfully connected
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
- Browser automation without disrupting your workflow
|
||||
- AI-assisted web browsing and testing
|
||||
- Debugging and development with MCP-enabled tools
|
||||
- Remote browser control for various applications
|
||||
|
||||
## Permissions
|
||||
|
||||
This extension requires the following permissions:
|
||||
|
||||
- **debugger**: To access Chrome DevTools Protocol
|
||||
- **activeTab**: To interact with the current tab
|
||||
- **tabs**: To manage browser tabs
|
||||
- **all_urls**: To work with any website
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting Started
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store
|
||||
2. Navigate to any webpage
|
||||
3. Click the Playwriter MCP extension icon
|
||||
4. The debugger will attach and the icon will turn green when connected
|
||||
5. Connect your MCP client to start controlling the browser
|
||||
|
||||
## Privacy & Security
|
||||
|
||||
Playwriter MCP runs locally in your browser and does not send any data to external servers. All browser control happens through the standard Chrome DevTools Protocol on your machine.
