playwright-explore-website
- Use it when:
- You want to know what to test on a website before writing tests, and have its URL.
- It does:
- Opens the URL with the Playwright MCP server, works through three to five core features or user flows, then closes the browser.
- You get:
- A short summary of the interactions, the UI elements and their locators, the expected outcomes, and proposed test cases.
- Unlike playwright-generate-test:
- That one turns one scenario you give into a passing test file; this one surveys a site to find what's worth testing.
TL;DR
You give a URL, or the agent asks for one. It navigates there with the Playwright MCP server, picks three to five core features or user flows, and interacts with them. Along the way it documents what it did, the relevant UI elements with their locators (the way a test finds an element on the page) and the outcomes expected. It closes the browser context when it's done, summarizes its findings, and proposes and generates test cases based on the exploration.
