Playwright Automation

Purpose

Drive browser automation workflows (regression checks, screenshot capture, web navigation) through the Glama-hosted Playwright MCP server defined under servers/playwright.

Setup Checklist

1. Ensure GLAMA_PLAYWRIGHT_ENDPOINT and GLAMA_API_KEY are exported and referenced in mcp.json.
2. Upload authentication state JSON for apps that require login; note the storage path in servers/playwright/README.md.
3. Limit concurrency to one session per task to avoid Glama quota throttling.

Workflow

1. Intent – describe the scenario (URL, steps, expected assertion). Decide if headless mode is sufficient or if video capture is needed.
2. Launch – invoke the openPage/runSteps tool with selectors and navigation instructions. Use deterministic selectors, not text heuristics, whenever possible.
3. Validate – capture screenshots or DOM snapshots; store outputs under docs/automation/ through the filesystem skill if they must persist.
4. Cleanup – close tabs via the MCP toolset to release capacity. Record any failures and request a retry only after adjusting selectors/timeouts.
