Browser-use agents in the Playwright MCP era. Web automation as first-class capability.
🌐 The Shift
Agents are no longer limited to code. With Playwright MCP integration, they can navigate, interact, and verify web applications. The gap between "can write code" and "can use the application" closes.
🔧 MCP Integration
- Navigate: URL routing with DOM snapshot
- Interact: Click, fill, submit with state updates
- Verify: Screenshot comparison, element assertions
- Debug: Console logs, network requests
💡 Why It Matters
Most bugs are only visible at runtime. Agents with browser access catch UI issues, flow problems, and integration failures that static analysis misses.
