Playwright MCP is intriguing. I'll definitely give it a run today. Anybody got any tipps or gotchas?

If they didn't change it, Playwright uses the aria (accessibility) representation for their MCP agent. It strongly depends on the web page whether or not that yields good results.

We at Octomind use a mix of augmented screenshots and page representation to guide the agent. If Playwright MCP doesnt work on you page, give our MCP a try. We have a free tier.

Can someone elucidate how using a full blown browser is improvisation over using say markitdown / pandoc / whatever? Given that most useful coding docs sites are static (made with sphinx or mkdocs or whatever)
