No. I don't use Playwright MCP at all - if the coding agent can run Python code ...

Oh wow Simon Willison, I've read some of your submissions on HN and its very informative.

Thank you very much for the info. I think I'll have a fun weekend trying out agent-stuff with this [1].

Interesting, thanks for the info.

I wanted to run claude headlessly (-p) and playwright headlessly to get some content. I was using Playwright MCP and for some reason claude in headless mode could not open playwright MCP in headless mode.

I never realized i can just use playwright directly without the playwright MCP before your comment. Thanks once again.
