Install the server with pip install mcp playwright and then run playwright install to install browser dependencies. Configure it for Claude Desktop by adding a JSON entry in claude_desktop_config.json that points to the server script. Use Python code to invoke tools like browse_to, click_element, and get_page_screenshots.
