Playwriter
Chrome extension that bridges AI agents and your browser
Let claude code, openclaw, codex and any agent control your Chrome browser via CLI or MCP.
•What is Playwriter?
Playwriter is a Chrome extension and CLI tool that empowers agents to control a browser session with full access to existing logins, extensions, and cookies, enabling seamless automation without the drawbacks of headless instances. It allows users to execute Playwright scripts directly in their browser, facilitating real-time collaboration and debugging.
•How to use it
To use Playwriter, install the Chrome extension and then the CLI tool. Once set up, click the extension icon on your browser tab to establish a connection, and use the CLI commands to execute Playwright code directly in your existing session. The app supports real-time collaboration with agents performing tasks while you can intervene as necessary.
•Background
Playwriter simplifies browser automation by utilizing existing browser sessions instead of spawning new ones, which can often lead to issues such as bot detection. It leverages the Playwright API to provide a robust and flexible environment for automation tasks while maintaining user control. The app is designed for efficiency, allowing multiple agents to collaborate in real time without the need for remote servers.
