## Comparison
|
|
|
|
### BrowserMCP
|
|
|
|
Playwriter has access to the full playwright API available, it can send any CDP command via the playwright methods. It only uses 1 tool `execute` to send playwright code snippets. This means that the LLM can reuse its knowledge about playwright and less context window is used to expose browser automations tools.
|
|
|
|
Playwriter is also more capable because it exposes the full playwright API instead of only a few tools.
|
|
|
