Description

This MCP server provides browser automation capabilities using Playwright, letting language models interact with web pages via structured accessibility snapshots rather than pixel-based screenshots. It supports both snapshot (accessibility-tree) and optional vision (screenshot) modes, a rich set of actions (click, type, drag, select, navigation, tab management, file upload, PDF save, etc.), and can run headless or headed with configurable launch options. The server integrates with VS Code and can be launched via npx or embedded programmatically using custom transports, making it suitable for agents and IDE integrations.
