    <p>Let your agents control your own Chrome, via CLI or MCP. Your logins, extensions, cookies — already there.</p>

## Installation

1. [**Install Extension**](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/playwriter/jfeammnjpkecdekppnclgkkffahnhfhe) from Chrome Web Store

2. Click extension icon on a tab → turns green when connected

3. Install the CLI and start automating the browser:

   ```bash
   npm i -g playwriter
   playwriter -s 1 -e 'state.page = await context.newP
