- Claude Code now does this natively without need for a 3rd party browser like Comet: https://support.claude.com/en/articles/12012173-getting-star...
- I didn’t realize AI could interact with browsers like this already (guess I’m naive). Isn’t this setting up for the scenario where the AI is duped into logging into your bank account and transferring your money away? Not sure I have enough trust to allow an AI to touch a browser.
- "claude --chrome" does this out of the box and works pretty well.

- I tried it. My Perplexity premium expired, maybe that is it, but it barely did anything.
When I put prompt you suggested, it did open Perplexity in Comet and then I guess didn't get response even though Perplexity did research, so it used regular search mcp to get results...
It is cool idea, this is what I would like to have, something to automate boring stuff. Find all LinkedIn connections that are not active and remove them from my network for example.
I don't think it is your mcp or code, as tech is just not there yet. It is much easier to accomplish this through other automations.

- I was going to ask what makes this better than just using Playwright and this largely answers that question. I will have to try it out and see how it compares.
I haven't really had luck with MCP in general for quite a while though. I have just been using Google Antigravity for most of my vibe coding needs.

- I've used chrome devtools mcp successfully to do all kinds of advanced in browser tasks, agents like claude code can write js and inject it into the context in a live browser and do all kinds of neat tricks. I've used this extensively in gemini-cli.

- Did you try that one ?

- I noticed that
/plugins
Doesn't lost plugins anymore. I'm sure I installed playwright using that menu, but now it lists no plugins (and the plugin can't be found locally)
However, claude add mcp and /mcp still works.
- a brittle MCP that connects a brittle (unless using Opus 4.5) CLI to a brittle browser? (see: Scamlexity, an actual vulnerability name)
I trust Claude in Chrome a lot more, and I trust my own hands and eyes most.
- There is Browser MCP that works reasonably well: https://browsermcp.io/
What's the difference?

- I was just thinking to myself this morning, I wonder if I can make Claude Code and Comet work together... Now I have my answer!

- Anyone know of any good articles around having claude code build playwright test suites for a given website and parameters?
- Claude in Chrome is excellent - as is Claude in Excel. I was shocked at how useful the latter is.
- They literally already have Chrome integration… sorry you wasted your time
- I just used puppeteer for this until it came natively
- Any notions of how this differs from Vibium?

- nice, literally had claude tell me it couldnt do browser today.
- Another day, another MCP server. Wake me up when we stop needing a new protocol for every AI tool to talk to every other AI tool.
