## What it is
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides browser automation capabilities using Playwright. This server enables LLMs to interact with web pages through structured accessibility snapshots, bypassing the need for screenshots or visually-tuned models. This package provides MCP interface into Playwright. If you are using a coding agent, you might benefit from using the CLI+SKILLS instead.

## When to use it
Reach for playwright-mcp when you want Claude, Cursor or any MCP client to reach a new tool, API or data source — it's written in TypeScript and fits stacks tagged mcp, playwright.
