Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
The GitHub repo last changed 15 days ago, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 15 days ago.
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT Business and above.

✅ Playwright Workspaces is now Generally Available!
Playwright Workspaces is a fully managed service for end-to-end web testing, built on top of Playwright. With Playwright Workspaces, you can significantly speed up test execution by running tests in parallel using managed cloud-based browers. The service takes care of the underlying infrastructure and complexity, allowing you to validate your web app across major browsers on both Linux and Windows—so you can ship features faster and with greater confidence.
👉 Get started with the Quickstart
The full documentation is now available on learn.microsoft.com
There you’ll learn how to:
The Playwright Cloud Browsers remote MCP server gives AI agents managed cloud browsers over Streamable HTTP. Agents can create a browser session, navigate and inspect pages, interact with elements, and close the session without installing Playwright or a browser locally.
The remote MCP server is in preview, separately from the generally available Playwright Workspaces service. Preview features do not have a service-level agreement and are not recommended for production workloads.
You need an Azure subscription, a Playwright workspace with access to the remote MCP preview, its region and workspace ID, and an identity with permission to use browser sessions in that workspace.
Use the endpoint for your workspace's region:
https://<region>.mcp.playwright.microsoft.com/playwrightworkspaces/<workspace-id>/mcp
Replace both placeholders with your workspace values. Use Microsoft Entra ID with a client that supports OAuth discovery. The server publishes protected-resource metadata; your signed-in identity must also have the required workspace RBAC access. See the authentication and setup guide for permissions and supported compatibility options. Never commit access tokens or paste them into prompts.
With the server connected, ask the agent to create a browser session, open https://example.com, report the page's main heading, and close the session, including on failure. Inspect the actual MCP tool calls and outputs to verify the connection. See the service guide for session limits, supported tools, and troubleshooting authentication, timeouts, and expired sessions. Report service issues through this repository's issue tracker.
The server is published as com.microsoft/playwright-cloud-browsers in the Official MCP Registry. The root server.json is a public copy of the published metadata. Publication and metadata updates are managed by the service team; changing this copy does not publish an update or establish a listing in downstream client catalogs.
