 "what": "Playwright MCP is Microsoft's MCP server for browser automation with Playwright. It lets an LLM work with web pages through structured accessibility snapshots instead of screenshots, so no vision model is needed. It installs with one npx command in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Amp and other clients, and supports Chrome, Firefox, WebKit and Edge. The README suggests the Playwright CLI with skills for token-heavy coding agent work and MCP for exploratory, stateful agent loops.",
