A connection that lets the coding agent control a real web browser through Playwright, a tool for automated browser testing. It can open pages, click controls, enter text, take screenshots, and read the page's accessibility tree.

Use it to navigate websites, fill in forms, click buttons, inspect accessible page content, and capture screenshots. It runs locally through the @playwright/mcp package.

It lets the agent inspect and interact with websites instead of working only with source code or plain HTTP requests. This helps reproduce browser-based tasks and check how pages behave.

Security

Grade A, and why

playwright scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

81% identical to playwright — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
