Playwright MCP

Local · stdio

The official Playwright MCP server by Microsoft: the agent drives a real browser through the accessibility tree, no computer vision needed. Navigation, clicks, form filling, screenshots, tabs and network requests. The de-facto standard for web automation from LLMs.

Why this server

Reads the accessibility tree instead of pixels — precise clicks without a vision model
60+ tools: from clicks and forms to video recording, tracing and network mocking
Official Microsoft server, works with Chromium, Firefox, WebKit and Edge
Optional --caps flags add PDF export, storage and test assertions without bloating context

Usage examples

Prompt: Check that the signup button works and the form submits

Result: The agent opened the page via browser_navigate, took a browser_snapshot, filled fields with browser_fill_form and confirmed success with browser_wait_for.

Prompt: Scrape the competitor's prices — they have no API

Result: Using browser_navigate and browser_snapshot the agent walked through product cards and collected prices into a table, no computer vision needed.

Local server

This MCP runs locally on the user's machine (stdio), so availability isn't tracked — rely on reviews and the rating instead.
