In MCP Servers

How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade A reflects the trust score band: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Evidence coverage B is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (3 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Is Playwright MCP safe?

Public supply-chain signals for Playwright MCP are strong: it has multiple independent trust indicators in place. This does not replace your own security review, but Playwright MCP carries less obvious unverified-evidence risk than projects with thin signals.

Does Playwright MCP publish package provenance?

Yes. Playwright MCP's package releases carry build provenance attestations, which cryptographically link the published package back to its source repository and CI workflow.

Does Playwright MCP have an OpenSSF Scorecard?

Playwright MCP has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 6.1/10. The Scorecard checks for branch protection, signed releases, dependency updates, fuzzing, code review, and other supply-chain hygiene items. See the full check breakdown on this page.

Is Playwright MCP actively maintained?

Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 2 day(s).

What license does Playwright MCP use?

Playwright MCP ships under Apache-2.0. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.

Are Playwright MCP's commits signed?

98% of the last 100 commits to Playwright MCP are verified-signed (GPG, SSH, S/MIME, or GitHub's signing flow). Signed commits help confirm that code was authored by who the commit claims.

Not a safety endorsement. HVTracker describes what public signals show, not whether a project is safe for your use case. Run your own security review before adopting in production.
