Edit the file:
~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Add this:
"playwright": {
"command": "/Users/christophersettles/.local/bin/uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/playwrightdebugger/",
"run",
"mcp_playwright.py"
]
}
(Replace /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/playwrightdebugger/
with the absolute path to the directory where you cloned the repository)
Open localhost:3000/dashboard and look at console logs and network requests

The server uses Playwright's event listeners to capture console messages and network activity. When a client requests this information, the server returns it in a structured format that can be used by the LLM.
