Add Playwright and GitHub third-party MCP plugins

[SamSokolin]

Summary

Adds the two highest-demand MCP connectors missing from Cursor's marketplace relative to Claude Code: Playwright (~60k installs) and GitHub (~83k installs).

Playwright (third_party/playwright)

Local stdio MCP server from Microsoft — no credentials.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@playwright/mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Requires Node.js on the user's machine. -y skips npx's install confirmation so the first launch cannot hang waiting for interactive input over stdio. First run also downloads Playwright browser binaries.

GitHub (third_party/github)

GitHub's official remote MCP server — PAT-based auth today.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Exact URL/header shape matches what Claude Code and Codex ship. Declares GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN via the plugin variables block (same pattern as Gong/Salesforce).

GitHub's remote server also supports OAuth; we can revisit that as a follow-up if Cursor's plugin auth flow supports it.

Also

• Registered both under .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json
• Logos are hand-written self-contained SVGs (official Playwright mark from playwright.dev; GitHub Octocat mark), each on a padded white tile like Gmail for dark-UI legibility
• Logos should get a design review before these plugins are published

Verification

npm install --no-save ajv ajv-formats
node scripts/validate-plugins.mjs

→ All plugins validated successfully.

Bugbot Autofix prepared a fix for the issue found in the latest run.

• ✅ Fixed: Playwright npx may hang
  • Added the -y flag to the npx args in third_party/playwright/mcp.json (and the matching README snippet and prose) so the first uncached launch cannot block on an interactive install prompt over the MCP stdio pipe.

 The first run downloads Playwright's browser binaries. That can take a minute and needs network access; later runs reuse the cached browsers.
