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repository is no longer maintained.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-mcpor in headless mode:
nix run github:akirak/nix-playwright-mcp -- --headlessRelated MCP server: Playwright Server MCP
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!
