r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Claude code + playwright mcp - how did you speed up the browser interactions
May 17, 2025 -

I have successfully integrated this playwright mcp -Microsoft one ( adding tools ) to Claude code . We can now add a prompt and pass it in Claude code headless cli .. however the browser navigation is quite slow .. for example it takes more than 4 seconds for Claude code to login using username and password..

How did you speed up the process ..? I am using WSL2

Thanks in advance
