# Browser Automation Automate browser interactions via Playwright MCP server. ## Server Lifecycle ### Start Server ```bash # Using helper script (recommended) bash scripts/start-server.sh # Or manually npx @playwright/mcp@latest --port 8808 --shared-browser-context & ``` ### Stop Server ```bash # Using helper script (closes browser first) bash scripts/stop-server.sh # Or manually python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call -u http://localhost:8808 -t browser_close -p '{}' pkill -f "@playwright/mcp" ``` ### When to Stop - **End of task**: Stop when browser work is complete - **Long sessions**: Keep running if doing multiple browser tasks - **Errors**: Stop and restart if browser becomes unresponsive **Important:** The `--shared-browser-context` flag is required to maintain browser state across multiple mcp-client.py calls. Without it, each call gets a fresh browser context. ## Quick Reference ### Navigation ```bash # Go to URL python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call -u http://localhost:8808 -t browser_navigate \ -p '{"url": "https://example.com"}' # Go back python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call -u http://localhost:8808 -t browser_navigate_back -p '{}' ``` ### Get Page State ```bash # Accessibility snapshot (returns element refs for clicking/typing) python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call -u http://localhost:8808 -t browser_snapshot -p '{}' # Screenshot python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call -u http://localhost:8808 -t browser_take_screenshot \ -p '{"type": "png", "fullPage": true}' `
