The Playwright MCP server (@playwright/mcp) lets Claude Code control a real browser through natural language using the Model Context Protocol. Setup takes one command: `claude mcp add playwright npx @playwright/mcp@latest`. The server uses accessibility tree snapshots instead of screenshots, making interactions faster and more token-efficient. Key use cases include self-QA during development, exploratory testing in plain English, authenticated session management via storage state, debugging flaky tests, and generating Playwright test code. The post also covers when to use MCP vs the CLI (MCP for exploration, CLI for CI/CD pipelines), and troubleshooting common issues like missing browser binaries, Node.js version mismatches, and version pinning.
