1
Setup complexity is LOW. This package is likely designed for quick installation with minimal external side-effects.
2
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

Extract Table Data

browser_navigate: { url: "https://example.com/data" }
browser_evaluate: { 
  script: "() => { return Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('table tr')).map(r => r.textContent); }" 
}

Screenshot

browser_navigate: { url: "https://example.com" }
browser_evaluate: { script: "() => { document.body.style.zoom = 1; return true; }" }
# Screenshot saved via --output-dir or returned in response

Security Notes

By default restricts file system access to workspace root
Host validation prevents navigation to untrusted domains
Sandboxing enabled by default (use --no-sandbox with caution)
Service workers blocked by default

Troubleshooting

# Update browsers
npx playwright install chromium

# Debug mode
npx @playwright/mcp --headless=false --output-mode=stdout

# Check installation
playwright-mcp --version
