Components

Resources

The server implements a simple note storage system with:
  • Custom note:// URI scheme for accessing individual notes
  • Each note resource has a name, description and text/plain mimetype

Prompts

The server provides a single prompt:
  • summarize-notes: Creates summaries of all stored notes

Tools

The server implements the following tools:
  • playwright_navigate: Navigates to a specified URL. This operation will automatically create a new session if there is no active session.
  • playwright_screenshot: Takes a screenshot of the current page or a specific element.
  • playwright_click: Clicks an element on the page using a CSS selector.
  • playwright_fill: Fills out an input field.
  • playwright_evaluate: Executes JavaScript code in the browser console.
  • playwright_click_text: Clicks an element on the page by its text content.
  • playwright_get_text_content: Get the text content of all visiable elements.
  • playwright_get_html_content: Get the HTML content of the page.

Configuration

[TODO: Add configuration details specific to your implementation]

Quickstart

Install

Claude Desktop

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Development

Building and Publishing

To prepare the package for distribution:
  1. Sync dependencies and update lockfile:
  1. Build package distributions:
This will create source and wheel distributions in the dist/ directory.
  1. Publish to PyPI:
Note: You'll need to set PyPI credentials via environment variables or command flags:
  • Token: --token or UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN
  • Or username/password: --username/UV_PUBLISH_USERNAME and --password/UV_PUBLISH_PASSWORD

Debugging

Since MCP servers run over stdio, debugging can be challenging. For the best debugging experience, we strongly recommend using the MCP Inspector.
You can launch the MCP Inspector via `npm` with this command:
Upon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.
