What's New

🎉 New Tools

• browser_webmcp_list / browser_webmcp_call — List and call the tools a page registers through the WebMCP API, letting the page do the work instead of driving its UI. When a page has WebMCP tools, the page status reports how many are available (#​42613). WebMCP is experimental, see WebMCP in Chrome for how to enable it.

Other Changes

• New --profile-dir-name <name> option (env PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_PROFILE_DIR_NAME) selects the Chrome profile to connect to in extension mode when the extension is installed in several profiles, for example "Profile 1" (#​42527)
• Headless browsers launched by the server are now closed after one hour without tool calls; the next tool call launches a new one. Use --idle-timeout <ms> (config timeouts.idle, env PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_IDLE_TIMEOUT) to change the timeout, 0 disables it. Headed and attached browsers are not closed unless a timeout is set explicitly (#​42663, #​42676)
• --image-responses accepts only: a response that carries an image consists of the image parts alone, without the text part (#​42672)

Bug Fixes

• browser_close returns an error when the browser context is shared (--shared-browser-context) instead of breaking the calling client's session. This supersedes the v0.0.80 change that dropped the backend after browser_close (#​42495)
• With --shared-browser-context, browser_start_recording / browser_stop_recording (opt-in via --caps=devtools) keep each client's recording separate instead of delivering one client's recorded actions to another (#​42622, #​42627)
• The file access check follows symlinks, so a symlink inside the workspace can no longer be used to read or write files outside the allowed roots (#​42628)
• Explicitly named output files in a nested directory (e.g. sub/shot.png) no longer fail with ENOENT; browser_file_upload and browser_drop resolve relative paths against the workspace root (#​42540)
• In extension mode with PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_EXTENSION_TOKEN set, a connection that never completes (e.g. the token belongs to another Chrome profile) now fails after 30 seconds with a hint instead of hanging the tool call forever (#​42525)
• Disable the Chromium sandbox by default on Linux for the bundled Chromium build, which lacks the setuid sandbox helper (#​42490)

What's New

New Tools

• browser_start_recording / browser_stop_recording (opt-in via --caps=devtools) — Record actions that the user performs manually in the browser and return them as Playwright code. Useful when the user wants to demonstrate a flow instead of describing it (#​42359)

Bug Fixes

• The default --codegen language is inferred from the environment (#​42150)
• Honor --user-data-dir in extension mode (#​42190)
• Do not treat orphaned browser preferences entries as an installed extension (#​42224)
• browser_take_screenshot returns the original screenshot bytes instead of silently downscaling them to model-specific limits (#​42406)
• Drop the cached browser backend after browser_close with a shared browser context, so subsequent tool calls from the same client no longer fail (#​42365)
• When connected to a remote endpoint, browserInfo reports the browser actually running remotely instead of the configured one (#​42228)
• Do not clobber the chromiumSandbox setting from the config file (#​42288)
• Do not run the heartbeat for HTTP clients that have not opened an event stream (#​42189)
• The internal /killkillkill endpoint is no longer registered outside of tests (#​42133)
