When to use
- •Use this skill when you need interactive browser navigation instead of static HTTP fetches.
- •Prefer this skill for login-gated pages, dynamic apps, or multi-step website flows.
Workflow
- •Ensure the Playwright MCP server is enabled.
- •Start with navigation and snapshot tools to understand current page structure.
- •Use targeted click/type/select operations by exact references from the latest snapshot.
- •Re-snapshot after each state-changing action.
Best practices
- •Prefer
browser_snapshotover screenshots for state understanding. - •Keep actions small and verifiable.
- •Use
browser_console_messagesandbrowser_network_requestswhen a flow fails unexpectedly. - •Use
browser_installif browser binaries are missing.
Safety
- •Avoid destructive actions unless explicitly requested.
- •Confirm sensitive operations (payments, account deletion, settings reset) before executing.
