How to install it

Installing from Commons is not in version 0.15.0, the version you can download today — the Community shelf arrives in the next release. Until then this page is the record of what this is, what it would put on your machine, and where it comes from.

  1. Open Terminal Deck, go to Store, open the Community shelf, search for Playwright browser control and press Install.
  2. It is added as an MCP server your agents can call.

The command it runs, built by Terminal Deck and not by the publisher:

npx -y @playwright/mcp

It asks you for nothing.

Not enough ratings yet. A rating appears at five, so one vote cannot speak for a listing.

For AI readers

/@microsoft/playwright-mcp/llms.txt — the facts on this page as plain text. Microsoft has written no description of their own.

What this file is for

An assistant that lands on this page has to work out what this is from headings and a one-line summary, and it will guess. So every listing is also served as one plain-text file, at the same address with /llms.txt on the end. A publisher can put their own words in it by naming a text or markdown file in their terminaldeck.json, or by typing one when they publish.

The whole catalogue is served the same way: every listing as one line, or every listing in full with each publisher's own description. Everything Microsoft publishes is at /@microsoft/llms.txt.

Discussion

Ask Microsoft and everybody else using this.

    The first run downloads a browser, and it is a big download. That is Playwright's own step rather than ours, and it happens once per machine.

      This listing is pinned to one commit. When a new version ships upstream, the shelf does not move until that version has been read and approved here.
