What problem does it solve?
Automates browser interactions to perform web tasks without manual clicking, form filling, or data extraction, using a Playwright MCP server.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Navigate to web pages, fill forms, click elements, and take screenshots in a deterministic workflow.
- Extract data from web pages and run UI checks or automated testing across multiple sites.
- Use Case: QA teams automatically validate login flows and data display across a suite of websites.
Quick Start
Start the Playwright MCP browser server and use the MCP client to drive browser actions. For example:
- Start server: bash scripts/start-server.sh
- Navigate: python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call -u http://localhost:8808 -t browser_navigate -p '{"url":"https://example.com"}'
- Take screenshot: python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call -u http://localhost:8808 -t browser_take_screenshot -p '{"type":"png","fullPage":true}'
