Playwright MCP

The Playwright MCP server gives Claude Code agents direct browser control through 50+ tools that operate on the accessibility tree rather than screenshots. This enables fast, structured web interaction — navigating pages, clicking elements, filling forms, extracting content, and taking screenshots — without requiring vision models.

When to Use

Activate when:

  • Installing or configuring the Playwright MCP server for Claude Code
  • Browsing websites that reject non-browser HTTP clients (curl/wget blocked)
  • Taking screenshots of web applications or local dev servers
  • Automating browser interactions (clicking, typing, form submission)
  • Running local web UI tests through browser automation
  • Inspecting or extracting content from rendered web pages
  • Managing browser tabs, dialogs, or file uploads in automation workflows
