View guide →Playwriter lets AI agents drive your real Chrome — your logins, extensions, and cookies — via Playwright
playwriter is an open-source ai agents project by remorses (remorses/playwriter on GitHub). It has 3,974 GitHub stars and 189 forks, is released under the MIT license, and was last updated on GitHub on 7 October 2026.
Add the Playwriter extension from the Chrome Web Store and click its icon on a tab to connect it (it turns green).
Install playwriter globally from npm.
Start the browser bridge and create a session, noting the session id it prints.
Run Playwright code against your real tabs with the -e flag, using snapshots and refs to click precisely.
Agents inherit your logins, extensions, and cookies — no separate automation profile to authenticate.
Evaluate arbitrary Playwright code against live pages with state persisted between calls.
Sessions keep isolated state, support shared tabs and tab groups, and survive across commands.
Accessibility snapshots label elements (aria-ref) so agents click the right target.
Raw CDP, debugger breakpoints, live code editing, and network interception for advanced work.
Native video recording via chrome.tabCapture with RTMP streaming, and remote agents can drive your local browser.
Clone the project and enter its directory (most users install the CLI and extension directly).
git clone https://github.com/remorses/playwriter.git
cd playwriterInstall the CLI globally, and add the Playwriter extension from the Chrome Web Store, clicking its icon on a tab to connect.
npm i -g playwriterStart the bridge, create a session, and open a page in your real Chrome.
playwriter browser start
playwriter session new
playwriter -s 1 -e 'state.page = await context.newPage(); await state.page.goto("https://example.com")'Developer remorses maintains Playwriter (playwriter.dev).
Yes, MIT-licensed; the extension is on the Chrome Web Store and the CLI on npm.
No key for Playwriter itself — agents you connect (via CLI or MCP) use your existing agent subscriptions.
Those launch a fresh, logged-out automation browser. Playwriter drives your actual Chrome session — logins, extensions, and cookies included — which is what makes no-API internal tools reachable.
Install the Chrome extension and click it on a tab, `npm i -g playwriter`, then `playwriter browser start` and `playwriter session new`.
