01What it is

Microsoft's Playwright MCP server drives a real browser via structured accessibility snapshots (no screenshots needed): navigate, click, fill forms, and extract content — deterministic web automation for agents.

Who it’s for: Anyone who needs an agent to reliably drive web apps — testing, scraping, or task automation.

02Highlights

Accessibility-first

Acts on the accessibility tree, so automation is fast and reliable — not pixel-guessing.

Full web control

Navigate, click, type, and read pages to automate any web app.

03Add it to your agent

Local MCP server — runs on your machine via the command below.

claude mcp add playwright -- npx -y @playwright/mcp
