I mean no disrespect, but this looks like an outdated clone of https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp

Hey Pavel, this is Namu, the creator of Browser MCP.

You’re right, this is an adaptation of Playwright MCP to automate the user’s local browser as mentioned in the GitHub README and here:

- https://github.com/BrowserMCP/mcp/blob/3e6824de6f36eba7d2d3b...

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43613905

Thanks for all your work to Playwright and Playwright MCP. I’m a big fan!

(For those not familiar, Pavel is the largest contributor to both Playwright and Playwright MCP: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/graphs/contributors, https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp/graphs/contribut...)
