An MCP server from Microsoft that exposes Playwright browser automation to LLM clients over stdio. It provides tools for navigation, clicking, typing, form filling, screenshots, PDFs, cookies and web storage, network routing, tracing, video recording, and element verification, operating on Playwright's accessibility tree rather than pixels.
You want an LLM agent to drive a real browser reliably without vision models, using structured snapshots instead of screenshots.
Use it to
- Automate web pages from an MCP-enabled coding assistant
- Verify element, list, and text visibility in browser sessions
- Record traces and videos of agent-driven browser runs
- Inspect and set cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage
- Capture page screenshots and PDFs
