Playwright MCP or Playwright CLI: pick either, your agent gets all of this 🎭 🧰 WebMCP: pages hand the agent their own tools 🔎 Find: grep the page instead of reading all of it 🪶 Leaner snapshots, fewer tokens on every step 🔴 Do it by hand once, get Playwright code back 🗣️ Codegen in TypeScript, Python, Java and C# 🔌 Your real Chrome, logins included 🎬 60 fps video with an animated cursor and chapters 📱 Mobile and device emulation 🌗 Light/dark flipped mid-session 🌐 Mock any request, or pull the plug and go offline 📸 Hi-res screenshots 🩹 Crashed tab or dropped connection? It'll recover npx @playwright/mcp@latest github.com/microsoft/playwri… npm i -g @playwright/cli@latest github.com/microsoft/playwri…

🧱 Component testing in Playwright has a new shape: stories & galleries. ✍️ A story wraps your component in one scenario — props, providers, mock data — in a *.story.tsx file next to the component. 🖼️ A gallery page, served by your own dev server, renders stories on demand — React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, anything. Using @playwright/experimental-ct-*? Give the new model a try and tell us how it goes: 👉 github.com/microsoft/playwri… Docs: playwright.dev/docs/test-com…
