Microsoft’s update to its Playwright ecosystem includes an MCP server that leverages the Chrome accessibility tree and a complementary open‑source release streamlining JavaScript script loading for screen scraping purposes.
shot-scraper 1.8 now lets you load JavaScript scripts directly from GitHub via a gh: prefix, making it simpler to share and use screen-scraping routines with an invisible Chrome browser using Playwright.
Microsoft released an MCP server wrapping Playwright that uses the Chrome accessibility tree. It enables browser automation via MCP clients like Claude Desktop with tools for navigation, screenshots, mouse actions, and accessibility snapshots.
