Deprecated node-domexception dependency in @executeautomation/playwright-mcp-server

[bernardopg]

Description

The @executeautomation/playwright-mcp-server package (version 1.0.6) has a dependency chain that includes the deprecated [email protected] package.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install the package globally:

   npm install -g @executeautomation/playwright-mcp-server
   

2. Observe the deprecation warning during installation

Expected Behavior

The package and its dependencies should not use deprecated packages.

Actual Behavior

Installation shows deprecation warning:

npm warn deprecated [email protected]: Use your platform's native DOMException instead

Dependency Chain

The deprecated package comes through this dependency chain:

@executeautomation/[email protected]
└── [email protected]
    └── @anthropic-ai/[email protected]
        └── [email protected]
            └── [email protected]

Environment

• Node.js version: v22.18.0
• npm version: 11.5.2
• Operating System: Ubuntu Linux
• Package version: @executeautomation/[email protected]

Suggested Fix

Please update the dependency chain, particularly:

1. Consider updating mcp-evals to a newer version that uses a more recent @anthropic-ai/sdk
2. Or update @anthropic-ai/sdk to a version that doesn't depend on the deprecated node-domexception

Additional Context

Modern JavaScript environments provide native DOMException support, making the node-domexception polyfill unnecessary. This deprecation is part of moving towards more standard web APIs in Node.js.
