Playwright Cloud Browsers
A remote MCP server, in preview, that gives AI agents managed cloud browsers from Playwright Workspaces, an Azure service for running Playwright tests.
What it does
A remote MCP server, in preview, that gives AI agents managed cloud browsers from Playwright Workspaces, an Azure service for running Playwright tests. Through it an agent can open a browser session, go to pages, read their content, interact with elements and close the session, with nothing installed locally. Each workspace has its own regional endpoint, and you need an Azure subscription, a workspace with preview access, and an identity with rights to use browser sessions. Sign-in uses Microsoft Entra ID through a client that supports OAuth discovery. Setup is documented for VS Code and the GitHub Copilot app.
Capabilities
- Create and close cloud browser sessions
- Navigate to and inspect web pages
- Interact with page elements
