# Playwright Bowser
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
Automate browsers using `playwright-cli` — a token-efficient CLI for Playwright. Runs headless by default, supports parallel sessions via named sessions (`-s=`), and doesn't load tool schemas into context.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Details
|
||||
|
||||
- **Headless by default** — pass `--headed` to `open` to see the browser
|
||||
- **Parallel sessions** — use `-s=<name>` to run multiple independent browser instances
|
||||
- **Persistent profiles** — cookies and storage state preserved between calls
|
||||
- **Token-efficient** — CLI-based, no accessibility trees or tool schemas in context
|
||||
- **Vision mode** (opt-in) — set `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_CAPS=vision` to receive screenshots as image responses in context instead of just saving to disk
|
||||
|
||||
## Sessions
|
||||
|
||||
**Always use a named session.** Derive a short, descriptive kebab-case name from the user's prompt. This gives each task a persistent browser profile (cookies, localStorage, history) that accumulates across calls.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Derive session name from prompt context:
|
||||
# "test the checkout flow on mystore.com" → -s=mystore-checkout
|
||||
# "scrape pricing from competitor.com" → -s=competitor-pricing
|
||||
# "UI test the login page" → -s=login-ui-test
|
||||
|
||||
playwright-cli -s=mystore-checkout open https://mystore.com --persistent
|
||||
playwright-cli -s=mystore-checkout snapshot
|
||||
playwright-cli -s=mystore-checkout click e12
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Managing sessions:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
playwright-cli list # list all sessions
|
||||
playwright-cli close-all # close all sessions
|
||||
playwright-cli -s=<name> close # close specific session
|
||||
playwright-cli -s=<name> delete-data # wipe session profile
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Reference
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Core: open [url], goto <url>, click <ref>, fill <ref> <text>, type <text>, snapshot, screenshot [ref], close
|
||||
Navigate: go-back, go-forward, reload
|
||||
Keyboard: press <key>, keydown <key>, keyup <key>
|
||||
Mouse: mousemove <x> <y>, mousedown, mouseup, mousewheel <dx> <dy>
|
||||
Tabs: tab-list, tab-new [url], tab-close [index], tab-select <index>
|
||||
Save: screenshot [ref], pdf, screenshot --filename=f
|
||||
Storage: state-save, state-load, cookie-*, localstorage-*, sessionstorage-*
|
||||
Network: route <pattern>, route-list, unroute, network
|
||||
DevTools: console, run-code <code>, tracing-start/stop, video-start/stop
|
||||
Sessions: -s=<name> <cmd>, list, close-all, kill-all
|
||||
Config: open --headed, open --browser=chrome, resize <w> <h>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
1. Derive a session name from the user's prompt and open with `--persistent` to preserve cookies/state. Always set the viewport via env var at launch:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_VIEWPORT_SIZE=1440x900 playwright-cli -s=<session-name> open <url> --persistent
|
||||
# or headed:
|
||||
PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_VIEWPORT_SIZE=1440x900 playwright-cli -s=<session-name> open <url> --persistent --headed
|
||||
# or with vision (screenshots returned as image responses in context):
|
||||
PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_VIEWPORT_SIZE=1440x900 PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_CAPS=vision playwright-cli -s=<session-name> open <url> --persistent
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Get element references via snapshot:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
playwright-cli snapshot
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Interact using refs from snapshot:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
playwright-cli click <ref>
|
||||
playwright-cli fill <ref> "text"
|
||||
playwright-cli type "text"
|
||||
playwright-cli press Enter
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
5. Capture results:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
playwright-cli screenshot
|
||||
playwright-cli screenshot --filename=output.png
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Always close the session when done.** This is not optional — close the named session after finishing your task:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
playwright-cli -s=<session-name> close
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
If a `playwright-cli.json` exists in the working directory, use it automatically. If the user provides a path to a config file, use `--config path/to/config.json`. Otherwise, skip configuration — the env var and CLI defaults are sufficient.
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"browser": {
|
||||
"browserName": "chromium",
|
||||
"launchOptions": { "headless": true },
|
||||
"contextOptions": { "viewport": { "width": 1440, "height": 900 } }
|
||||
},
|
||||
"outputDir": "./screenshots"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
