Playwright MCP exposes a real browser to any MCP-compatible AI client, letting it navigate, click and extract using accessibility trees rather than pixels.
From the README
docker run -d -i --rm --init --pull=always \ --entrypoint node \ --name playwright \
- Fast and lightweight. Uses Playwright's accessibility tree, not pixel-based input.
- LLM-friendly. No vision models needed, operates purely on structured data.
- Deterministic tool application. Avoids ambiguity common with screenshot-based approaches.
