playwright-mcp-python

Python-native MCP server for browser automation with Playwright.

Compatibility Target

• Tool names: captured from @playwright/mcp@0.0.75
• Input schemas: captured from @playwright/mcp@0.0.75

Verification

pytest tests/conformance -v -m 'not upstream_live'
pytest tests/conformance/test_upstream_live.py -v -m upstream_live
