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.

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.

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.

Diagnoses page-load and interaction performance from Chrome DevTools traces, network evidence and source code, covering Core Web Vitals, LCP and layout shifts. Separates measured values from estimates and hypotheses, and re-measures fixes under equivalent conditions.
