Pilot MCP

What it does

Your agent inherits your real browser session — already logged into GitHub, Notion, Linear, whatever you use daily. No re-auth. No 2FA. No per-site setup. In-process Playwright (no HTTP layer) = actions in ~5ms instead of ~200ms. 41% faster, 43% smaller context, 13% cheaper than @playwright/mcp in benchmarks. Also: CAPTCHA handoff, iframe support, snapshot diffing, 58 tools with configurable profiles.

Chrome extension + MCP server — AI agents control a tab in your real browser, already logged in - TacosyHorchata/Pilot

Native Playwright-backed browser sessions by default. No Chrome extension required for QA automation. Native mode avoids chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab() entirely, so screenshots do not depend on Chrome being foregrounded, a tab being visibly active, or the extension service worker being fresh. AI Agent → MCP Server → Broker on 127.0.0.1:3131 → Native browser session (stdio) (first process owns broker) (Playwright context/page) Pilot runs as an MCP server — Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client connects via stdio The first Pilot process becomes the broker on localhost Later Pilot processes connect as broker clients Each session gets an isolated native browser context/page Screenshots come…from github.com

  Hey HN! I built Browser AI after getting frustrated with the official Playwright MCP server in Claude Code. If you've used it, you know the pain: - 20+ separate tools that Claude has to juggle (click, fill, navigate, wait_for_selector, etc.) - Context window explosions from verbose screenshot data and DOM snapshots - Constant tool selection errors where Claude picks the wrong tool or forgets parameters Browser AI wraps Playwright MCP with a single natural language interface. Instead of Claude managing dozens of tools, you get one: browser_ai.execute. Just tell it what you want in plain…

  I created a browser automation tool2022 · rocketride.io · ▲176

  I created this tool a few months ago to automate some of my tasks. I use it to collect prices and files and to get notified when something changes on certain websites. The task runner uses Playwright. I'm not sure if it can be useful to anybody else besides me :) Any feedback is welcome.

  Playwright Skill for Claude Code – Less context than playwright-MCP2025 · github.com · ▲189

  I got tired of playwright-mcp eating through Claude's 200K token limit, so I built this using the new Claude Skills system. Built it with Claude Code itself. Instead of sending accessibility tree snapshots on every action, Claude just writes Playwright code and runs it. You get back screenshots and console output. That's it. 314 lines of instructions vs a persistent MCP server. Full API docs only load if Claude needs them. Same browser automation, way less overhead. Works as a Claude Code plugin or manual install. Token limit issue:…

  Stagehand – an open source browser automation framework powered by AI2025 · github.com · ▲326

  Hi HN! I’m Anirudh — longtime lurker, first time poster, and I couldn’t be more excited to show you Stagehand. Stagehand is a TypeScript project that extends Playwright with three simple AI methods — act, extract, and observe. We’d love for you to try it out using the command below: npx create-browser-app --example quickstart Here’s a sample workflow: const stagehand = new Stagehand(); await stagehand.init(); // Stagehand overrides the Playwright Page and Context classes const { page, context } = stagehand await page.goto("instadash.com") // Regular Playwright…

  Web SpeedMay 2026 · getwebspeed.io · ▲118

  Hey everyone, I've been working on a tool called Web Speed. It takes web pages full of HTML and parses them into an easily readable sitemap for an AI agent. By ensuring the AI doesn't have to analyze the full HTML from the page or screenshots of the page, it makes the agent a lot cheaper and faster. It's MCP-native, so any AI that supports MCP can run it and take control of your browser for you. There are both “normal” and post-auth versions live on GitHub. What I think is the coolest thing about the project is the global cache of sitemaps. When a user visits a site, it takes the sitemap and…
