Lets agents drive a real browser through the accessibility tree: navigate, click, fill forms and take screenshots, without needing a vision model. Maintained by Microsoft.

Drives local web apps with Python Playwright scripts to verify features, debug the UI, take screenshots and read browser logs. Includes helper scripts to start and stop dev servers. Official Anthropic skill.

Microsoft's cross-browser end-to-end testing framework: one API drives Chromium, Firefox and WebKit, npx playwright test runs tests in parallel and isolation, with auto-waiting and trace replay for debugging failures.

Teaches agents to use the Chrome DevTools MCP efficiently: snapshot first to get element uids, screenshot only when needed, paginate and filter large output, inspect CSS and test browser extensions. Needs chrome-devtools-mcp configured; maintained by the Chrome DevTools team.

Lets agents control and inspect a real Chrome: read the console and network requests, take screenshots, and record performance traces with optimization suggestions. Maintained by the Chrome DevTools team.

Official Chrome plugin bundling the Chrome DevTools MCP with debugging skills for accessibility, LCP and memory leaks: lets agents drive and inspect a real Chrome and analyze network requests, console logs and performance traces. Collects usage stats by default; can be disabled.

Companion skill for the agent-browser CLI: has the agent load usage matching the installed version to navigate, fill forms, take screenshots and run exploratory tests, and can also drive Electron desktop apps. Install the agent-browser CLI first; from Vercel Labs.

Browser automation CLI built for AI agents in native Rust: open pages, click and fill forms by refs from accessibility tree snapshots, read text and take screenshots, with compact snapshots and output limits to save context. From Vercel Labs; reuses local Chrome or installs one.

Browser automation plugin from Vercel Labs: agents drive Chrome through accessibility tree snapshots and element refs to navigate, click, fill forms and take screenshots, for web testing and exploratory QA. Install the agent-browser CLI first (npm, Homebrew or Cargo).

Wraps Microsoft's Playwright MCP so agents can drive a real browser to navigate, click, fill forms and take screenshots for end-to-end tests and page checks. In Anthropic's official marketplace; needs Node.js.

Browser automation MCP server open-sourced by ByteDance in the UI-TARS-desktop repo: drives pages through Puppeteer accessibility data with an optional vision mode, running locally over stdio or remotely over SSE or Streamable HTTP.

Microsoft Playwright's official browser CLI for coding agents: open pages, click and type, take screenshots and manage sessions, and install the companion skills in one step. Uses fewer tokens than Playwright MCP. Needs Node.js 18+.

Companion skill for the official Playwright CLI: short commands to open pages, click and fill forms, take snapshots and screenshots, and write and debug Playwright tests, using less context than the MCP approach. Maintained by Microsoft; needs Node.js.

A Chrome extension that hands the browser you use every day to your agent, keeping your logins and settings, with screenshots, network monitoring, bookmarks and history, and semantic search over tab content. Install the extension and mcp-chrome-bridge first.

Tencent's open-source browser bridge: through the bsk CLI and a Chrome/Edge extension, agents use your logged-in accounts in a separate visible window to browse, fill forms and take full-page screenshots, and correlate network requests with console output to debug sites.

Tests and debugs a locally running frontend with Codex's Browser plugin or Playwright: checks blank pages, framework and console errors, captures screenshots, re-verifies after fixes and writes a QA report. Maintained by OpenAI; formerly playwright-interactive in openai/skills.

Hands your current browser session to the agent through a Chrome extension: read console logs and network requests, take screenshots, and run Lighthouse performance, accessibility and SEO audits without signing in again.

Lets coding agents control real Chrome with short Puppeteer scripts, with named pages that keep state across calls, accessibility-tree snapshots and screenshots for self-testing web changes. Install the dev-browser CLI globally first; macOS and glibc Linux only.

Community Playwright browser automation MCP from ExecuteAutomation (not Microsoft's official one): navigate, click, fill forms, screenshot and scrape page text, plus send HTTP requests, assert network responses and record actions into test code, with 143 device emulations built in.

Reads any website's design system in a headless browser and exports DTCG design tokens, Tailwind config, Figma variables and a brand guide in one command, scoring contrast and cross-page consistency. Also an MCP server or Claude Code plugin. Needs Node.js and Chromium or Chrome.

Lets agents write and run Playwright scripts on the fly for browser testing and automation, auto-detecting local dev servers, with screenshots, responsive checks, login flows and link checking. After installing, run npm run setup in the skill directory.

Lets agents write and run Playwright scripts on the fly for browser automation: page tests, UX checks and multi-step flows, opening a visible browser by default and auto-detecting local dev servers. After installing the plugin, run npm run setup in the skill directory.

Simon Willison's website screenshot CLI: batch screenshots from YAML, record demo videos, export PDF and HTML, run JavaScript in pages to extract data, and dump accessibility trees. Built on Playwright; install a browser on first use.

Opens HTML, Markdown or localhost pages in the browser via npx human-review so you can edit text directly and leave anchored comments, then sends every edit and comment back to the agent in one batch to apply to the source.
