What it is
Playwright Report MCP gives an AI agent structured, token-efficient access to Playwright test outcomes. It runs your test suite, reads the JSON reporter output, and surfaces exactly what the agent needs: which tests failed, what the errors were, and the content of relevant attachments.
What it is NOT
There are many Playwright MCP servers that control a browser — they navigate pages, click elements, fill forms, and take screenshots. Playwright Report MCP is not one of those.
Why
The problem with existing approaches
Default reporters (list / dot) — Playwright's default reporters print human-readable output to stdout. Compact, but lossy: no attachment paths, no retry breakdown, no structured data.
HTML reporter (report.html) — A self-contained SPA bundle (typically 2–50 MB). Not machine-readable as text and exceeds any LLM context window.
Reading results.json directly — Works, but a full JSON report for even a small test suite is 10,000–20,000 tokens. For a failing test, most of that is passing test metadata you don't need.
What Playwright Report MCP does instead
- Filters results.json to only failed tests
- Returns structured, typed JSON the agent can act on immediately
- Exposes individual attachments by name so the agent fetches only what it needs
- Works on results produced by anyone — CI pipeline, a human, or the agent itself
Token cost comparison (one failed test in a 20-test suite)
Approximate input token counts based on Claude tokenization (~3–4 characters per token for mixed JSON/text content).

Runs npx -y playwright-report-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.
