Why even use Playwright for this? I feel like Claude just needs agent-browser and it can generate deterministic code from it.
You can just start claude with the —chrome flag too and it will connect to the chrome extension.

#263The DevTools MCP project just recently landed a standalone CLI: https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp/blob/m... Great news to all of us keenly aware of MCP's wild token costs. ;) The CLI hasn't been announced yet (sorry guys!), but it is shipping in the latest v0.20.0 release. (Disclaimer: I used to work on the DevTools team. And I still do, too)
Love the Mitch Hedberg reference! Thank you! Always good to get a little Mitch! ‘I don’t have a girlfriend. But I do know a woman who’d be mad at me for saying that.’ ‘I’m against picketing, but I don’t know how to show it.’ ‘I haven’t slept for ten days, because that would be too long.’ ‘I like to play blackjack. I’m not addicted to gambling. I’m addicted to sitting in a semi-circle.’
"Alcoholism is a disease, but it’s the only one you can get yelled at for having. 'Goddamn it, Otto, you’re an alcoholic!' 'Goddamn it, Otto, you have lupus!' One of those two doesn’t sound right."

Very interested. Would even pay for an api for this. I am doing something similar with vibium and need something more token efficient.
have you tried vibium's cli + agent skill?
Spoiler: this is to automate ticket submission to my landlord's half-baked web portal, not some kind of nefarious captcha breaking thing.

Yes, please do!
100% I'll response to this by Friday with link to Github. I use Patchright + Ghostery and I have a cleaver tool that uses web sockets to pass 1 second interval screenshots to the a dashboard and pointer / keyboard events to the server which allow interacting with websites so that a user can create authentication that is stored in the chrome user profile with all the cookies, history, local storage, ect.. in the cloud…

I empathize with you in that once you publish a timeline people's expectations can be come unfair; so where is it‽ :)
It will make a proxy API from any transport from any website using Claude Opus 4.6 -- oneshot
I need help testing it before I share it with everyone.
