Playwright MCP
Use the official Playwright MCP servers when browser-engine coverage or Playwright-specific test features matter more than lightweight Chromium automation.
Use This Skill or Another One?
| Testing job | Use this skill? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Firefox-only bug | Yes | Repo-managed Playwright provides a dedicated Firefox server |
| WebKit / Safari-class repro | Yes | WebKit coverage is a Playwright-specific differentiator |
| Edge-specific behavior | Yes | Repo-managed Playwright provides a dedicated Edge server |
| Cross-engine compare across Firefox / WebKit / Edge | Yes | This skill is the repo's cross-engine front door |
| Mobile emulation, network mocking, generated Playwright code, trace/video artifacts | Yes | These are Playwright-specific workflows, not generic browser driving |
| Routine Chrome/Chromium form flow, screenshots, scraping | No — use agent-browser |
Faster and simpler for routine Chromium automation |
| Live Chrome session, DevTools-selected element, console/network/Lighthouse/performance in current Chrome | No — use chrome-devtools-mcp |
Those are Chrome DevTools workflows, not Playwright workflows |
