playwright-cli
Developed by microsoft
playwright-cli is a command-line interface by Microsoft, tailored for AI coding agents like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot. By exposing browser automation as concise CLI commands (SKILLs), it delivers a token-efficient alternative to MCP, preventing large page schemas or accessibility trees from bloating the LLM context. It features headless/headed execution, multi-session isolation with optional persistence, and a visual dashboard for live monitoring and manual takeover.
