# Example: Data Scraping Script
Create `.playwright-mcp/scripts/scrape-headlines.ts`:
```typescript
export default async function({ page, args, logger }) {
logger('Starting headline scrape...');
// Navigate to the page
await page.goto(args.url || 'https://news.ycombinator.com');
// Wait for content to load
await page.waitForSelector('.titleline');
// Extract headlines
const headlines = await page.evaluate(() => {
const items = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.titleline'));
return items.slice(0, 10).map((item, index) => ({
rank: index + 1,
title: item.textContent?.trim() || '',
url: item.querySelector('a')?.href || '',
}));
});
logger(`Scraped ${headlines.length} headlines`);
// Return structured data
return {
source: args.url || 'https://news.ycombinator.com',
scrapedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
headlines,
};
}
```
## Usage
Call the MCP tool:
```json
{
"name": "execute-script",
"input": {
"scriptPath": "scrape-headlines.ts",
"scriptArgs": {
"url": "https://news.ycombinator.com"
}
}
}
```
The script will:
1. Navigate to the URL
2. Wait for content
3. Extract top 10 headlines with URLs
