# A Nix Flake for Playwright MCP **Deprecated**: This repository was a workaround for complex usage in the former Playwright MCP server. This is no longer necessary in the current version of Playwright MCP, which can be run simply using `npx`. 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: - https://github.com/natsukium/mcp-servers-nix - https://github.com/aloshy-ai/nix-mcp-servers - https://github.com/cameronfyfe/nix-mcp-servers ## Usage Run the server: ``` shell nix run github:akirak/nix-playwright-mcp ``` or in headless mode: ``` shell nix run github:akirak/nix-playwright-mcp -- --headless ``` ## Credits To initially make Playwright run on NixOS, I followed [a thread on the NixOS Discourse](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/running-playwright-tests/25655/). The posts by Patrizio Bekerle, a.k.a. `pbek`, and Giacomo Debidda, a.k.a. `jackdbd`, were especially helpful. Thanks!
