Configure MCP server with Playwright Scraper

You can interact with the MCP server via standard input/output - stdio (as shown above), which is ideal for local integrations and command-line tools such as the Claude desktop client, or you can interact with the server through Server-Sent Events (SSE) to send messages and receive responses, which looks as follows:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "remote-actors-mcp-server": {
            "type": "sse",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/sse?actors=apify/playwright-scraper",
            "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_TOKEN>"
            }
        }
    }
}

You can connect to the Apify MCP Server using clients like Tester MCP Client, or any other supported MCP client of your choice.
