# Let agents control a logged-in Chrome browser through Playwriter MCP

Use Playwriter to give MCP-compatible agents a bounded, stateful Playwright control surface over an operator-approved Chrome session.

## Prerequisites

Playwriter Chrome extension and CLI; MCP-compatible client when using MCP mode; Chrome/Chromium browser session

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- npm i -g playwriter
- npx -y skills add remorses/playwriter
- npx -y traforo -p 19988 -t my-machine -- npx -y playwriter serve --token <secret>
- npx -y playwriter serve --host 127.0.0.1

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- Variables in scope: page, context, state (persists between calls), require, and Node.js globals.

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- [**Install Extension**](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/playwriter-mcp/jfeammnjpkecdekppnclgkkffahnhfhe) from Chrome Web Store
- Click extension icon on a tab → turns green when connected
- Install the CLI and start automating the browser:
