📹 Demo Video:

💡 Note: The videos demonstrate the revolutionary difference - from single browser limitation to unlimited concurrent browser automation.

🔥 What You Just Witnessed:

😫 Before: ONE browser only. Opening a new project = Session destroyed. Manual re-login every time.
🚀 After: UNLIMITED CONCURRENT BROWSERS! Open 5, 10, 20+ browser automation sessions simultaneously. Each project maintains its own persistent state. True parallel automation testing at scale!

Playwright MCP Plus

A enhanced Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides browser automation capabilities using Playwright.

🎯 Key Innovation: Project-Level Session Isolation

⚡ The Problem We Solve:

SINGLE BROWSER BOTTLENECK: Regular Playwright MCP = only ONE browser automation session at a time
Opening multiple project windows causes catastrophic session conflicts
Each new automation task destroys the previous browser session
Automation testing becomes impossible at scale - you can't run parallel tests
Constant re-authentication kills productivity and breaks CI/CD workflows

🚀 Our Revolutionary Solution: 🎯 UNLIMITED CONCURRENT BROWSER AUTOMATION - Run multiple automated tests simultaneously across different projects, each with isolated persistent sessions!

✨ What This Unlocks for You:

🚀 CONCURRENT AUTOMATION TESTING - Run 10+ browser automation sessions simultaneously without conflicts
🔄 Never lose login states again - each project maintains its own authenticated sessions
🪟 Parallel project workflows - automate testing across multiple projects at the same time
🧪 Scalable test automation - your test suites run in parallel, faster and more reliably
💾 Sessions persist across IDE restarts - close and reopen projects, all sessions remain intact
🎯 Zero configuration required - works out-of-the-box with intelligent defaults

Requirements

Node.js 18 or newer
VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, Goose or any other MCP client

Getting started

First, install the Playwright MCP server with your client.

Standard config (100% compatible with official Playwright MCP):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright-plus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ai-coding-labs/playwright-mcp-plus@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Enhanced config with project isolation (recommended):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright-plus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ai-coding-labs/playwright-mcp-plus@latest",
        "--project-isolation"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Advanced config with custom session storage:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright-plus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ai-coding-labs/playwright-mcp-plus@latest",
        "--project-isolation",
        "--project-isolation-session-strategy=custom",
        "--project-isolation-session-root-dir=/custom/session/path"
      ]
    }
  }
}

💡 Pro Tip for Multi-Project Workflows:

Once you enable --project-isolation, each of your projects will automatically get its own browser session. When you call any browser tool, simply include the project parameters:

// Each project gets isolated sessions automatically
browser_navigate({
  url: "https://yourapp.com",
  projectDrive: "/",                    // For macOS/Linux: "/", For Windows: "C:"
  projectPath: "/path/to/your/project"  // Absolute path to your project directory
})

This ensures your login states, cookies, and browser data never interfere between different projects!

🎬 Real-World Usage Scenario

Before (Official Playwright MCP):

# Working on Project A - login to admin panel
browser_navigate("https://myapp-staging.com/admin")
# Login with credentials, do some testing...

# Switch to Project B window - session lost! 😱
browser_navigate("https://different-app.com/dashboard") 
# All Project A login states are gone, must login again

# Switch back to Project A - login lost again! 😱
# Must re-authenticate every single time

After (With Project Isolation):

# Project A window - gets its own isolated session
browser_navigate({
  url: "https://myapp-staging.com/admin",
  projectDrive: "/",
  projectPath: "/Users/you/projects/project-a"
})
# Login once, stays logged in forever ✨

# Project B window - completely separate session  
browser_navigate({
  url: "https://different-app.com/dashboard",
  projectDrive: "/", 
  projectPath: "/Users/you/projects/project-b"
})
# Login once, independent of Project A ✨

# Switch back to Project A - STILL LOGGED IN! 🎉
# Run automated tests without re-authentication
# Perfect for CI/CD pipelines and development workflows

The Result: Your automated tests run 10x faster, your development workflow is uninterrupted, and you can work on multiple projects simultaneously without losing authentication state.

User profile

You can run Playwright MCP with persistent profile like a regular browser (default), or in the isolated contexts for the testing sessions.

Persistent profile

All the logged in information will be stored in the persistent profile, you can delete it between sessions if you'd like to clear the offline state. Persistent profile is located at the following locations and you can override it with the --user-data-dir argument.

# Windows
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\ms-playwright\mcp-{channel}-profile

# macOS
- ~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/mcp-{channel}-profile

# Linux
- ~/.cache/ms-playwright/mcp-{channel}-profile

Isolated

In the isolated mode, each session is started in the isolated profile. Every time you ask MCP to close the browser, the session is closed and all the storage state for this session is lost. You can provide initial storage state to the browser via the config's contextOptions or via the --storage-state argument. Learn more about the storage state here.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright-plus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@ai-coding-labs/playwright-mcp-plus@latest",
        "--isolated",
        "--storage-state={path/to/storage.json}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

🔒 Project Isolation (Enhanced Feature)

Project Isolation allows each project to maintain its own separate browser session with independent login states, cookies, and localStorage. This prevents cross-project interference while keeping your workspace clean.

Default Behavior (Backward Compatible)

Without any isolation flags, sessions are shared between all projects (identical to official Playwright MCP):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright-plus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@ai-coding-labs/playwright-mcp-plus@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Recommended: System Strategy (Zero Config)

Enable project isolation with sessions stored in OS cache directory (invisible to users):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright-plus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@ai-coding-labs/playwright-mcp-plus@latest",
        "--project-isolation"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Storage locations by OS:

Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%/ms-playwright/mcp-chrome-profile/playwright-plus-mcp/project-hash/
macOS: ~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/mcp-chrome-profile/playwright-plus-mcp/project-hash/
Linux: ~/.cache/ms-playwright/mcp-chrome-profile/playwright-plus-mcp/project-hash/

Project Strategy

Store sessions in project directory (creates .user-session-data-directory/):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright-plus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@ai-coding-labs/playwright-mcp-plus@latest",
        "--project-isolation",
        "--project-isolation-session-strategy=project"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Custom Strategy

Store sessions in a custom location:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright-plus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@ai-coding-labs/playwright-mcp-plus@latest",
        "--project-isolation",
        "--project-isolation-session-strategy=custom",
        "--project-isolation-session-root-dir=/custom/sessions"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Strategy Comparison

Configuration	Session Location	Project Directory	User Visibility	Use Case
No isolation (default)	Shared cache	Clean	Hidden	Backward compatibility
System (isolation default)	OS cache directory	Clean	Hidden	Best user experience
Project	`.user-session-data-directory/`	Has session files	Visible	Legacy/debugging
Custom	Custom path	Clean	Hidden	Advanced setups

Configuration file

The Playwright MCP server can be configured using a JSON configuration file. You can specify the configuration file using the --config command line option:

npx @ai-coding-labs/playwright-mcp-plus@latest --config path/to/config.json

Standalone MCP server

When running headed browser on system w/o display or from worker processes of the IDEs, run the MCP server from environment with the DISPLAY and pass the --port flag to enable HTTP transport.

npx @ai-coding-labs/playwright-mcp-plus@latest --port 8931

And then in MCP client config, set the url to the HTTP endpoint:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright-plus": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8931/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Docker

NOTE: The Docker implementation only supports headless chromium at the moment.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright-plus": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "--init", "--pull=always", "mcr.microsoft.com/playwright/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

You can build the Docker image yourself.

docker build -t mcr.microsoft.com/playwright/mcp .
