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

🧱 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:

🎭 Catching up on Playwright releases — v1.60, v1.61 and v1.62 are out!

Highlights:

🔑 WebAuthn passkeys — a virtual authenticator lets you test passkey sign-in in every browser, no hardware key needed
🛑 AbortSignal support — cancel actions, navigations and assertions with a standard AbortController
🪝 locator.drop() — simulate external drag-and-drop of files onto upload zones, cross-browser
🗃️ page.localStorage / page.sessionStorage — read and write web storage directly
🖼️ WebP screenshots for visual comparisons — just name your snapshot .webp
🔁 retryStrategy: 'isolated' — run retries at the end, one by one, free of interference
🤖 Playwright MCP server and CLI now ship in the box: npx playwright mcp
