+### Bypassing the Connection Approval Dialog
+
+By default, you'll need to approve each connection when the MCP server tries to connect to your browser. To bypass this approval dialog and allow automatic connections, you can use an authentication token.
+
+#### Using Your Unique Authentication Token
+
+1. After installing the extension, click on the extension icon or navigate to the extension's status page
+2. Copy the `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_EXTENSION_TOKEN` value displayed in the extension UI
+3. Add it to your MCP server configuration:
+
+```json
+{
+ "mcpServers": {
+ "playwright-extension": {
+ "command": "npx",
+ "args": [
+ "@playwright/mcp@latest",
+ "--extension"
+ ],
+ "env": {
+ "PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_EXTENSION_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
+ }
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+This token is unique to your browser profile and provides secure authentication between the MCP server and the extension. Once configured, you won't need to manually approve connections each time.
