LangChain Playwright browser_tab_list

How to: LangChain Playwright browser_tab_list

client:LangChain transport:stdio tool:browser_tab_list

Add Playwright to LangChain

  1. 01

    Open pip install langchain-mcp-adapters and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient

client = MultiServerMCPClient({
        "playwright-mcp": {
            "transport": "stdio",
            "command": "npx",
            "args": ["-y", "@playwright/mcp"],
        }
})

tools = await client.get_tools()
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart LangChain.

  2. 03

    Ask for something browser_tab_list does. LangChain lists the server's tools on connect and calls browser_tab_list itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Playwright's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

get_tools() returns the server's tools as LangChain tools, ready for an agent. LangChain docs

Same tool, other clients

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
