What it does

Microsoft's Playwright MCP server lets an assistant control a browser, click, type, navigate, and read pages , using accessibility structure rather than screenshots.

Like any MCP server, Playwright plugs into MCP-compatible assistants (such as Claude and other clients) so the model can use it as a tool , no custom integration code required.
