Playwright MCP
Use this skill for browser automation, UI regression checks, data extraction, and response assertions with Playwright-based tools.
Quick start
- Ensure a Playwright MCP server is installed and enabled for the current agent.
- Open the target page and wait for the first stable landmark before interacting.
- Capture screenshots, console logs, and key network responses when diagnosing failures.
Recommended workflow
- Navigate and wait for a stable selector or visible text.
- Perform the minimum interaction needed to reproduce or verify behavior.
- Record evidence: screenshots, console errors, and relevant request/response data.
- Report the exact failing step, reproduction path, and expected versus actual behavior.
Notes
- Playwright supports Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit.
- Prefer
chrome-devtools-mcpfor fast single-browser debugging when it is already working. - Use Playwright when deterministic scripted flows or broader browser coverage matter more.
