 ### Running headed browser on Linux w/o DISPLAY
 
 When running headed browser on system w/o display or from worker processes of the IDEs,
-you can run Playwright in a client-server manner. You'll run the Playwright server
-from environment with the DISPLAY
+run the MCP server from environment with the DISPLAY and pass the `--port` flag to enable SSE transport.
 
-```sh
-npx playwright run-server
+```bash
+npx @playwright/mcp@latest --port 8931
 ```
 
-And then in MCP config, add following to the `env`:
+And then in MCP client config, set the `url` to the SSE endpoint:
 
 ```js
