Sam Sokolin 1f4e9b5976 Add Playwright and GitHub third-party MCP plugins (#193)
* Add Playwright and GitHub third-party MCP plugins

Wire Microsoft's local Playwright MCP (npx stdio) and GitHub's remote
MCP server (PAT auth) into the marketplace, matching existing third_party
plugin layout and manifests.

* Pass -y to npx for Playwright MCP

Avoid first-launch hangs when npx would otherwise prompt for
install confirmation over non-interactive MCP stdio.

Playwright

Cursor plugin that connects agents to a real browser through Microsoft's Playwright MCP server.

Navigate pages, click and fill elements, take accessibility snapshots and screenshots, and run end-to-end checks from chat.

Install

  1. Open Cursor Settings → Plugins.
  2. Search for Playwright.
  3. Click Install.

Or run /add-plugin playwright in chat.

Requirements

This is a local stdio MCP server. Cursor launches it with npx -y @playwright/mcp@latest, so the machine running Cursor needs Node.js installed and on PATH. The -y flag skips npx's install confirmation so the first launch cannot hang waiting for interactive input over stdio.

The first run downloads Playwright's browser binaries. That can take a minute and needs network access; later runs reuse the cached browsers.

MCP

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@playwright/mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

No credentials are required. The server runs locally and drives a browser on the same machine.

Docs

Logo is Microsoft's official Playwright mark from the Playwright website, placed on a white tile with padding so it reads well in the Cursor UI: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright.dev/blob/main/static/img/playwright-logo.svg
