Common questions
Is Playrunner safe?
It passed 4 of 5 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 2 days ago, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 2 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).
What can I use instead?

Build with AI. Ship with evidence.
Playrunner turns your Playwright tests into reusable workflows
your team, your CI, and your coding agent can run.
Go from “the code is done” to “here is what passed”.
Run real browser checks. Follow the execution. Open the report, trace, or video.

Your agent wrote it. Now check it.
A working-looking screen is a good start. A repeatable test with an inspectable result is something your team can build on.
Playrunner gives AI-assisted developers and test teams a shared place to run Playwright, reuse environments and browser sign-ins, and investigate failures. Keep your existing tests. Give them a workflow you can run again after the next change.
For vibe coders and their favourite agents
Connect a compatible MCP client to Playrunner Cloud, then ask:
Run my checkout smoke workflow once. Wait for it to finish, tell me which
tests passed or failed, and include the report links.
The agent can discover projects, create workflows, start runs, and inspect the returned evidence from the same conversation. Your saved workflows remain available to your teammates and CI.

Connection steps and capabilities vary by client. Use a client with remote Streamable HTTP and OAuth support, or the CLI from a shell-capable agent. Choose your connection → Read the MCP guide →
From a test suite to a repeatable check
- Bring a test. Use your existing Playwright repository or start with an inline script.
- Give it a home. Choose an environment, an optional Authentication Profile, and where the workflow runs.
- Run it your way. Use the visual editor, your agent, the CLI, or a schedule.
- Follow the evidence. Inspect test results, logs, and the report and artefacts produced by the run. A started job is not a passing test.
Your agent / CI / schedule↓ Environment → Playwright → Pass or fail → Your next action ↓ Report · traces · screenshots · video
Your tests, environments, runners, and next steps. One visible workflow.
Less test infrastructure. More useful feedback.
| What you need | What Playrunner brings |
|---|---|
| A workflow the team can understand | A visual canvas for tests, conditions, branches, and follow-up actions. |
| Faster feedback from larger suites | Automatic sharding with capacity-aware planning and one merged report. |
| A choice of where tests run | Local Docker, managed cloud runners, and self-hosted execution. |
| A way to investigate a failure | Live node state and logs, plus Playwright reports and captured artefacts. |
| Tests that start signed in | Reusable Authentication Profiles, isolated by environment. |
| Less secret copying | Managed environments and credentials, referenced by your workflows. |
| A useful next step | Integrations for GitHub, Slack, Jira, AI analysis, webhooks, and more. |
Four shards. One merged report. Failed tests stay visible.
Give your CI the same workflow
Start a saved workflow, stream its progress, and return a failing exit code when the workflow fails, is cancelled, or times out:
export PLAYRUNNER_URL='https://playrunner.cloud'export PLAYRUNNER_API_KEY=' '
npx playrunner WORKFLOW_ID
Prefer workflows as code? Keep the definition alongside your application:
npx playrunner workflow create --file playrunner-workflow.jsonCLI run guide → · Workflow definitions →
Need a signed-in browser? Reuse an Authentication Profile.
Capture a browser session interactively, then select the profile on your Playwright node. Playrunner restores the stored session for the execution without storing your identity-provider password.
For Playrunner Cloud, pair your computer with the authentication companion:
npm install --global playrunner@latestplayrunner login playrunner auth connect
Keep the companion open while capturing or refreshing the session. Hosted workflow runs can restore the encrypted stored state without the companion remaining connected.

Quick start
Prerequisites
- Docker Desktop
- Node.js 20+
- npm
Start the full local stack
git clone https://github.com/playrunner/playrunner.gitcd playrunner ./install-local.sh ./start-local.sh
On the first run, Playrunner opens the setup app. Follow the printed URL to confirm PostgreSQL and create the first admin account. With the default ports:
- Playrunner:
http://127.0.0.1:3100 - Setup:
http://127.0.0.1:3100/setup - Documentation:
http://127.0.0.1:3104/playrunner/
The .env.local file is optional unless you want to change ports before the first run. If it is missing, ./start-local.sh creates it from the example. For the complete walkthrough, see the Getting Started guide.
Reopen setup or change the local defaults
To reopen the setup wizard:
./start-local.sh --setupRemove .env.local as well if you want Playrunner to regenerate the local port and PostgreSQL defaults.
Run only the documentation site
cd docsnpm run start -- --port 3104
Then open http://127.0.0.1:3104/playrunner/.

Package E2E tests run the real Vite frontend and Playrunner API against the isolated playrunner_e2e PostgreSQL schema. Complete local setup first so apps/api/.env contains a working DATABASE_URL, and keep PostgreSQL running.
Install Chromium once on a new development machine:
npm exec --prefix apps/frontend -- playwright install chromiumRun the deterministic mock-provider suite:
npm run test:e2e:mockRun one integration package by its Playwright tag:
npm run test:e2e:mock -- --grep @githubnpm run test:e2e -- --grep @github
Mock mode still uses the real frontend, authentication, API, credential encryption, and database; only outbound provider boundaries may be faked. Live-provider scenarios are opt-in and require protected credentials:
npm run test:e2e:livenpm run test:e2e:live -- --grep @github
Set PLAYRUNNER_E2E_DATABASE_URL to use another PostgreSQL server. Open the latest report with npx playwright show-report, or read the Testing guide for architecture and package authoring details.
