Playwright MCP
TL;DR
Playwright MCP is a browser-automation server that lets an agent control a real browser through MCP tools. It exposes navigation and interaction tools and lets the agent read the page back. With live sessions comes responsibility for what the browser can reach and act on.
Capabilities
Playwright MCP exposes browser tools and returns page content to the agent. This makes it useful for testing and page inspection as well as automation.
Security
A connected browser can act on authenticated sessions. Run it in a constrained profile and treat page content as untrusted.
