Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Dynamic Web Scraping

Extracting data from modern sites that require JavaScript to load content.

02

Automated UI Testing

Spawning ephemeral browsers to take screenshots of new builds for visual verification.

03

Safe URL Inspection

Running suspicious links through an isolated cloud browser to check content safely.

04

Document Generation

Automate a task

Put Playwright Cloud to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Playwright Cloud works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Playwright Cloud to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 10 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Playwright Cloud, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Playwright Cloud. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Playwright Cloud owners hand off.

This MCP is built for technical professionals who need to automate web interactions without managing their own browser infrastructure.

  • 01

    QA Automation Engineers

    They hand off the task of running daily visual regression tests and UI checks to the agent.

  • 02

    Data Engineers

    They use the agent to crawl complex, JavaScript-heavy sites that standard scrapers cannot read.

  • 03

    Security Researchers

    They use the remote cloud environment to inspect suspicious URLs without risking their local machines.

FAQ

Questions Playwright Cloud owners ask.

  • 01

    Does this MCP run the browser on my computer?

    No. All browser execution happens in a remote, scalable cloud cluster managed by Browserless.

  • 02

    Can it scrape websites that use React or Vue?

    Yes. Because it uses Playwright, it executes the full JavaScript lifecycle, allowing it to see fully rendered content.

  • 03

    How does it handle bot detection?

    The MCP includes a stealth mode to emulate human environments and a proxy capability to rotate IP addresses.

  • 04

    What AI clients can I use this with?

    You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 05

    Can I get images from the browser?

    Yes. You can command your agent to take full-page screenshots or generate PDFs of any site.

  • 06

    Can the agent scrape modern SPAs built with React or Vue?

    Absolutely. Because Browserless exposes actual Chrome environments via Playwright, standard JavaScript rendering pipelines execute exactly as they do on a user's machine. The agent simply captures the stabilized final DOM states post-hydration, making it remarkably effective for highly dynamic single-page applications.

  • 07

    What does scrape_with_wait do exactly when instructed to an AI?

    If a website relies on extremely heavy animations or subsequent lazy-loaded payload responses, get_html_content might return prematurely. Requesting your agent to use scrape_with_wait accompanied by a distinct selector (e.g., #main-data-table) locks the Browserless virtual container actively polling the CDP port. Only when that element materializes will it snap the payload back to you.

  • 08

    Are the screenshots produced bound to specific screen dimensions?

    By default, calling get_screenshot leverages Browserless' intrinsic 'Full Page' modifier. It synthetically commands the headless browser frame to extend computationally, absorbing the complete top-to-bottom scroll bounds of the rendered website into a massive, crystal clear uncropped PNG artifact.
