Playwright MCP uses a session and prevents proper cache clearing. How many times did Claude tell me "Perfect Deployment!" only to open the console and see a row of errors? It's all about control and caching. Claude does just fine writing its own Playwright scripts. I can't see any use for the MCP at this point. Tell me if I'm wrong.

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

I’ve been messing around with the new Playwright MCP inside Claude Code and it’s honestly wild.
It doesn’t just simulate tests or spit out scripts — it actually opens a live Chromium browser that you can watch while it runs your flow.

I set it up to test my full onboarding process:
signup → verification → dashboard → first action.
Claude runs the flow step by step, clicks through everything, fills the forms, waits for network calls, takes screenshots if something breaks. You literally see the browser moving like an invisible QA engineer.

No config, no npm, no local setup. You just say what you want to test and it does it.
You can even ask it to export the script if you want to run the same test locally later, but honestly the built-in one is enough for quick checks.

Watching it run was kind of surreal — it caught two console errors and one broken redirect that I hadn’t noticed before.
This combo basically turns Claude Code into a test runner with eyes.

If you’re building web stuff, try enabling the Playwright MCP in Claude Code.
It’s the first time I’ve seen an AI actually use a browser in front of me and do proper end-to-end testing.

I’ve been using a few MCPs in my setup lately, mainly Context 7, Supabase, and Playwright.

I'm just curious in knowing what others here are finding useful. Which MCPs have actually become part of your daily workflow with Claude Code? I don’t want to miss out on any good ones others are using.

Also, is there anything that you feel is still missing as in an MCP you wish existed for a repetitive or annoying task?

Just saw a YT video about using playwright mcp. All the behaviors described (screenshots, etc) are available to CC without installing or using MCP, so I’m just curious, is there value to using the MCP over simply asking Claude to “use playwright to visit blah and screenshot the results, review the error and fix”

Hey folks,

Following up on my earlier post I’ve been documenting everything I learned about Claude Code — massive thanks to everyone who shared feedback and ideas. It’s been super helpful.

Just pushed a round of new updates focused on making MCP server setup seamless:

• Step-by-step installation guides for popular servers — Playwright, Memory, Sequential Thinking, and more

• A consolidated troubleshooting guide for common issues across all MCP integrations

• Short, focused use-case breakdowns

The goal here was to make getting started with MCP servers as frictionless as possible — from install to real usage. Each guide includes working config examples and fixes for the most common setup pitfalls.

If you’re looking to extend Claude Code with MCP servers, these additions should help you make better decisions while saving tokens and cost.

Feedback and contributions always welcome.

No matter what I try, Claude code cannot access the Microsoft Playwright MCP. I'm searching for troubleshooting tips, but can't find anything. Is there anyone using it?

[EDIT] Solved, "claude mcp add playwright -- npx "@playwright/mcp@latest" worked.

I've been using Claude/Cursor and these MCP things for a while now. These are the ones you must have

Context 7 is like having a really smart friend who always knows the latest way to use any coding library. No more outdated examples that don't work.

Docker MCP is genius because it keeps things clean. Instead of having hundreds of tools cluttering everything up, it only loads what you need right now.

Shadcn Registry MCP makes building pretty websites super easy. You just ask for a component and it knows exactly how to add it without breaking stuff.

Google's new MCPs are pretty cool if you use Google services. They just announced ones for Maps, BigQuery, and cloud stuff. There are also free ones for Firebase and other Google tools.

Notion MCP has been a lifesaver for me. I can tell Claude to update my to-do lists, track projects, and organize ideas without ever opening Notion.

Supabase MCP handles all the database work. No more writing confusing database commands myself - Claude just does it.

Anyone else using MCPs? Which ones do you like most?

It seems that using Playwright or Puppeteer MCPs actually gives Claude Code “eyes” and “hands,” making it much easier to close the loop of coding → testing → validating → refactoring. However, the token consumption is massive, and after just one or two tests, the chat gets compacted. I tried delegating this to a subagent, but the results weren’t great. Do you have any tips for handling this? I’m also considering testing the browser-use MCP (https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use) - maybe I’ll give it a shot later today. Thanks!

I am just trying to get a sense of the tools or hacks I am missing and collectively good for everyone to assess too :-)

Just wondering what MCP servers you guys integrated and feel like has dramatically changed your success. Also, what other methodologies do you work with to achieve good results? Conversely what has been a disappointment and you've decided not to work with anymore?

Are there any cool "MCPs" or a specific workflow you use to make it even better?

I have never heard of or used Playwrite until I just had issues with my Nextjs project using Tailwind 4 but CC was doing version 3 related implementations.

Suddenly Claude Code installed Playwrite & instead of just checking the code it literally looks at your site through tests to confirm: Hey the problem this dude has been saying is a problem, guess what it doesn't work!!!

Here's a link to it: https://playwright.dev/

Sorry if I sound new, but I'm not I've been study & coding for years I just never heard of this especially to use with Claude Code.

Is everyone using this already??

im not a coder or anything, just playing around for my own fun, so sorry if its a stupid question

but im trying to move and use cc on windows rather than wsl, any mcp im trying to install, is failing to connect

installasion command for example: claude mcp add playwright npx u/playwright/mcp@latest

any idea why? is there a problem with mcps support on windows for now?

Drop something that has changed your life

I am doing a website migration from one CMS to the other, and have started using Claude to automate a lot of it.

However, I'm looking for a browser agent that lets Claude explore a website I give it.

Any recommendations? I largely just need content. I know Playwright is widely recommended but not too sure if its overkill, since it eats up a lot of tokens.
