About this skill

“What the invisible_playwright_mcp browser server needs on this machine - the patched Firefox it drives, which the server downloads on its own the first time it runs. Use when browser_open answers that the engine is downloading or that its download failed, or right after installing the plugin.”

— description from SKILL.md by feder-cr

Invisible Playwright MCP Setup is a skill in feder-cr/invisible_playwright_mcp (32k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 309 tokens. Licence: MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b54f0a4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uvx
    • curl
    • sh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • astral.sh

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Invisible Playwright MCP Setup loads about 309 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 107 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~309

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePipes a well-known installer script into a shellSKILL.md:13
    powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
  • NotePipes a well-known installer script into a shellSKILL.md:21
    curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
What the invisible_playwright_mcp browser server needs on this machine - the patched Firefox it drives, which the server downloads on its own the first time it runs. Use when browser_open answers that the engine is downloading or that its download failed, or right after installing the plugin.

The server runs with uvx invisible-playwright-mcp and needs its browser engine on this machine once, about a quarter of a gigabyte. It downloads it on its own when it starts; while that is in flight, browser_open answers with how far the download is instead of opening a browser, and asking again a minute later is all that is needed.

To do the download ahead of time, or again after it failed, in a terminal where the user can watch it, run the block for the user's system:

Windows, in PowerShell:

powershell
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
$env:Path = "$env:USERPROFILE\.local\bin;$env:Path"
uvx invisible-playwright fetch

Linux:

bash
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
source $HOME/.local/bin/env
uvx invisible-playwright fetch

Nothing else to configure: no account, no key. Over MCP the model is the client's own.
