A Nix Flake for Playwright MCP

Deprecated: Use playwright-mcp package from nixpkgs instead. This repository is no longer maintained.

This repository now only provides a Nix-wrapped version of the Playwright MCP server, with the browser executable set to Chromium from Nixpkgs. I am still maintaining this repository for personal use, but it doesn't offer much benefit.

For a comprehensive framework for running MCP servers on NixOS, I would recommend the following options:

Usage

Run the server:

nix run github:akirak/nix-playwright-mcp

or in headless mode:

nix run github:akirak/nix-playwright-mcp -- --headless

Credits

To initially make Playwright run on NixOS, I followed a thread on the NixOS Discourse. The posts by Patrizio Bekerle, a.k.a. pbek, and Giacomo Debidda, a.k.a. jackdbd, were especially helpful. Thanks!
