Playwright Chrome Extension The Playwright Chrome Extension lets you connect your browser’s active tabs and logged-in sessions to Playwright. With this extension, the Playwright CLI, the Playwright MCP server, and AI agents can interact with real web pages using your actual browser state—cookies, profiles, and authenticated sessions—without re-authenticating or using separate test profiles. Once installed, the extension enables seamless browser automation from local Playwright tools that drive real browser actions (navigation, clicks, form fills, etc.) against the pages you already have open. Key Features Connect Playwright to existing Chrome/Chromium sessions. Reuse your real browser state — no extra logins required. Works with the Playwright CLI for scripted automation and testing. Works with the Playwright MCP server for AI-driven workflows and agents. Ideal for developers, testers, and AI workflows that need realistic browser context. How It Works Install the extension and run Playwright locally with the `--extension` flag — either through the Playwright CLI or the Playwright MCP server. When your automation script or AI client connects, it routes commands through the extension into your open browser tabs, letting tools perform real interactions with pages you’re signed into.
