What Claude Code does
Anthropic's agentic coding tool for the terminal. It acts as an MCP client, so you can add local or remote servers and use their tools while it works in your codebase.
What Playwright MCP does
Official Playwright server. Lets an agent drive a real browser using the page's accessibility tree instead of screenshots, so it can click, type and read pages with structured data.
