View on the web What is it?
Playwright is Microsoft's browser-automation tool. This connector hands that browser to Claude, so it can visit your site, try the checkout flow, spot a broken button and show you a screenshot.
It reads the page's structure rather than guessing from pixels, which makes it fast and reliable. Install needs Node.js on your machine; the first run downloads a browser.
What Claude can do once it's connected
- Open any website and read what is on the page
- Fill in forms, click buttons and move between pages
- Take screenshots to check a design
- Write and run end-to-end tests
- Pull information off pages that need a real browser
