Playwriter

Chrome extension and CLI that let agents control your real browser through Playwright

Aboutplaywriter.dev

Playwriter lets agents control your actual Chrome browser with Playwright, from a CLI, an MCP server, or an agent skill. Your logins, cookies, and extensions stay in place, with no headless instance and less bot detection. The docs ship an llms.txt index, and the extension reports more than 20,000 users.

Install

npm i -g playwriter

For an agent

Use it when an agent must check UI behind a login in your own browser. Limit it to a separate profile, because it acts with your sessions.

Why it is here. It lets agents test real signed-in interfaces.

Install command, framework, licence and component list.
