Playwright MCP exposes browser automation to Claude through Playwright. Instead of pixel-based screenshots, it works from the browser's accessibility tree, which makes interactions fast, lightweight, and deterministic — Claude clicks elements by reference, fills forms, and reads page structure directly.
It's the standard choice for having Claude test web apps, reproduce bugs, scrape JS-rendered pages, or verify UI changes end-to-end.
