[reinvent-heucles]

I am having a close error, but it seems a bit different:

 npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-puppeteer
    ^

Facing the same error in windows . Node.js v20.16.0

[tinkit2004]

For Windows user, you have to take the following steps:
npm -g @modelcontextprotocol/server-puppeteer
Inside your cline_mcp_settings.json, replace the settings with the following
"puppeteer": { "command": "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe" ##This is where your node.js executable locate, "args": [ "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\@modelcontextprotocol\\server-puppeteer\\dist\\index.js" ##This is where your puppeteer locate ] }

[Defozo]

I had to use:

Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$Env:USERPROFILE\.cache\puppeteer\chrome"
npm cache clean --force
npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/server-puppeteer
npx puppeteer browsers install [email protected]

Along with the mcp setting tinkit2004 provided.

Edit:

You can also ask LLM to use "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" when navigating.
