Microsoft's MCP server for browser automation through Playwright accessibility snapshots instead of screenshots.
The README says it lets a model interact with pages through structured accessibility snapshots, so no vision model is needed. It requires Node.js 18 or newer.
The README suggests that coding agents may prefer the Playwright CLI with skills for token efficiency, and keeps the MCP server for persistent-state and exploratory workflows. The claude-plugins-official marketplace also lists a playwright plugin that runs this server through npx.
