Anyone get Microsoft Playwright MCP to Work with Claude Code?

I use (in wsl) `claude mcp add playwright npx u/playwright/mcp @latest` only things that is tricky is that you cannot let claude install the browser or the deps since it needs sudo to elevate the commands, so just install them manually and follow the prompts in a terminal. then you can check using /mcp and see its installed and test it using a command like, `use playwright to navigate to google.com` Answer from BruceJillis on reddit.com

June 9, 2025 -

No matter what I try, Claude code cannot access the Microsoft Playwright MCP. I'm searching for troubleshooting tips, but can't find anything. Is there anyone using it?

[EDIT] Solved, "claude mcp add playwright -- npx "@playwright/mcp@latest" worked.

October 14, 2025 - Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor IDE Describe the Bug After the last few updates, when I try to use any tools in playwright MCP, cursor keep saying tool xx not found(while other MCPs do working), I guess there’s a conflict between cursor’s browser control tools and playwright MCP tools, tried to downgrade to v1.6 then it works.

r/OpenaiCodex on Reddit: Codex v0.36.0 - Windows - Still no playwright MCP?

September 16, 2025 -

Trying to install playwright mcp for multiple versions now, and I still can't get it working with the latest version :

I have : MCP client for \playwright` failed to start: program not found`

Assigned the copdex_home through :
set CODEX_HOME=C:\Users\TBWS95\Desktop\codex\.codex

And Codex loads the toml file but doesn't load playwright correctly.

toml file :

model = "gpt-5-codex"
[mcp_servers.playwright]
command = "npx"
args = ["@playwright/mcp"]
env = { "PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSER" = "chromium", "PLAYWRIGHT_HEADLESS" = "false" }

Anyone has been able to load playwright for codex on windows ?
Works like a charm on claude code.

You need to use cmd /c for most npx commands in MCP clients on windows. This should be pretty standard knowledge now. Change it to command = cmd Args = [“/c”, “npx”, “@playwright/mcp”] That should work

I was struggling with that, too. For me the problem turned out to be npx not installed on PATH so I had to specify the installation path under "command".
