AI-Powered Debugging & Browser Automation with Playwright MCP
summary
Playwright MCP connects LLMs to a real browser, uses the accessibility tree instead of pixels, and generates and executes tests by actually clicking and filling pages; a demo shows a mismatched area snapshot (H2 vs H1) auto-fixed via copy prompt and VS Code’s fix with AI, a generated test that searches “Garfield” runs and passes, and models (Claude Sonnet 4 or others) can be swapped while edits and area snapshots are applied automatically.
