Playwright MCP Server (ExecuteAutomation)

Playwright MCP Server (ExecuteAutomation) is an MCP server built by ExecuteAutomation. ExecuteAutomation's Playwright MCP Server is a community-maintained browser automation server (5,500+ GitHub stars) distinct from Microsoft's official microsoft/playwright-mcp — it leans further into test generation and visual workflows rather than pure accessibility-tree navigation. Beyond standard navigate/click/fill/screenshot tools, it can generate Playwright test code from a live browsing session, scrape full page content and structured data, execute arbitrary JavaScript in the page context, and drive API testing (GET/POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE requests) alongside the browser tools. A standout feature is 143 real device presets for responsive testing — a single call like playwright_resize({ device: "iPhone 13" }) swaps in the correct viewport, user-agent, touch support, and device pixel ratio, and natural-language prompts like "test on iPad landscape" work directly through Claude. Install via `npm install -g @executeautomation/playwright-mcp-server`, Smithery, mcp-get, or the one-line `claude mcp add --transport stdio playwright npx @executeautomation/playwright-mcp-server` for Claude Code; VS Code one-click installers are also published. No API keys are required — it launches and drives a local Chromium/Firefox/WebKit browser directly. Choose this over Microsoft's official server when you specifically need auto-generated Playwright test scripts, JS execution, or device-emulation testing; choose Microsoft's for pure lightweight accessibility-tree page navigation.
