I say this with all the kindness in the world. Why the fuck would you burn Claude code tokens running playwright tests? Why would you not just write the tests and then have the tests run with CI/CD pipelines? Answer from Deleted User on reddit.com

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

I use (in wsl) `claude mcp add playwright npx u/playwright/mcp @latest` only things that is tricky is that you cannot let claude install the browser or the deps since it needs sudo to elevate the commands, so just install them manually and follow the prompts in a terminal. then you can check using /mcp and see its installed and test it using a command like, `use playwright to navigate to google.com`

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Claude Code — Seamless MCP Server Setup (Playwright, Memory, Serena, Sequential Thinking)

October 23, 2025 -

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.

📘 Repo: Claude Code — Everything You Need to Know

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.
