Recommended action: For Playwright MCP start the server with --ignore-https-errors (or env PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_IGNORE_HTTPS_ERRORS) or put ignoreHTTPSErrors in browser.contextOptions; in library code pass ignoreHTTPSErrors: true to browser.newContext()/launchPersistentContext() with the exact spelling. Prefer installing the internal CA into the environment when possible. Option: Use the MCP flag or contextOptions [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Playwright MCP servers used by coding agents Steps: 1. Add "--ignore-https-errors" to the MCP server args, or set browser.contextOptions.ignoreHTTPSErrors=true in the config file 2. Restart the MCP server Expected: Navigation to self-signed/internal-CA HTTPS pages proceeds Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
