Playwright MCP
Work on Playwright MCP? Verify this listing (free)Microsoft's browser-automation MCP server for agents
Microsoft's Apache-2.0 MCP server that lets agents drive a real browser through Playwright using structured accessibility snapshots instead of screenshots, so no vision model is needed. Runs locally with one npx command (Node.js 18+) and ships setup instructions for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code/Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Gemini CLI, opencode, Kiro, Warp and more. Microsoft notes coding agents may prefer its Playwright CLI + skills, which is more token-efficient.
Best for: Letting a coding agent click through your running app to verify UI changes, reproduce bugs or explore flows before writing E2E tests
