Playwright MCP · Cheatcode

into

The Cheatcode app that adds MCP servers (v0.3.0) is not public yet. Use Other ways for now.

Adds one entry to Claude Desktop's MCP settings that runs @playwright/mcp@0.0.82 on this Mac. The app downloads Node.js once to run it, checked against its published checksum. Checked 2026-10-07: it started and listed 25 tools. To take it out again, open the Cheatcode app and choose Remove next to it.

Then restart the AI app and ask for the work in plain words; it lists the new tools once it connects.

An illustration, not a recording: it was not run here because it drives a real web browser on your computer against a live website. The request and steps follow the package's own instructions, and what it shows last (its instructions) is cut unedited from README.md, lines 1 to 17. The test checklist and site address are invented for this example; Acme Notes is a fictional note-taking app.

A pass or fail for each check on the page, with a screenshot.

Try it

After installing, start a new session and say: Use the Playwright MCP server to open my website's contact page, fill in the form with test details, and tell me what happens.

What else it can do, and its limits

An MCP server from Microsoft that lets your AI app drive a web browser with Playwright
Reads pages as accessibility snapshots, so it needs no screenshots or vision model to act
Clicks, types, fills forms, uploads files, manages tabs, and reads console messages and network requests
Starts with npx, so it needs Node.js 18 or newer and a browser on your computer
Can keep a logged in profile between sessions, or start each session clean
Its makers say it is not a security boundary, and suggest their command line tool for coding agents

Illustration Drawn Oct 26, 2026 from the package's own files (README.md). Not a recorded session: nothing was run, and what it shows comes from the package itself.
