Who it is forA developer who wants the agent to verify its own frontend changes in a browser.
The problemAgents cannot see whether a form or flow they built actually works.
The outcomeAn agent that drives a browser through accessibility snapshots and reports what happened.
What you need first
- Node.js
- An MCP client such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or VS Code
Steps
- Claude Code:
claude mcp add playwright npx @playwright/mcp@latest - Codex:
codex mcp add playwright npx "@playwright/mcp@latest" - Other clients: add an mcpServers entry named playwright that runs npx with @playwright/mcp@latest
- Ask the agent to open your app and walk through a flow
Prompt for your agent
Add microsoft/playwright-mcp to my <Claude Code or Codex>, then open http://localhost:<port>, sign up with a test email, and report each step and any error text on the page.
Caveat.
Use this in your AI agent
Ask your agent
Using the Deduped MCP, get the setup steps for microsoft/playwright-mcp and "Give Claude Code or Codex a real browser in one command"
Add Deduped to Claude Code once
claude mcp add --transport http deduped https://dedupedai.com/mcp
