Playwright Electron MCP

What it does

This server extends Playwright's automation capabilities to Electron applications. It allows an AI to launch Electron apps, interact with their UI, take screenshots, and evaluate code within the Electron context, filling a gap in the official Playwright MCP server which focuses on web browsers.

Tools

• electron_launch: Launches a target Electron application.
• electron_close: Terminates the running Electron instance.
• electron_click: Performs a click action on a UI element within the app.
• electron_type: Inputs text into designated fields.
• electron_screenshot: Captures a visual state of the application window.
• electron_evaluate: Executes JavaScript directly in the Electron renderer or main process.
• electron_first_window: Switches focus to the primary application window.
