Where it can help

What people say

“An agent with Playwright MCP can browse even trickiest website structure and simply say what it "sees" and ask the user what to do next, voice or Braille.”

“Why did it need to generate its own driver when there is a Playwright MCP available and works right out of the box?”

“We tried out playwright mcp and it easily consumes 1M+ tokens for a test with ~20 steps (including image input).”
