文章摘要

Simon Willison successfully used Claude 3 Opus through the Claude Desktop application to generate and iterate on Playwright automation scripts.

  • Claude Desktop utilizes the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide the AI with direct access to local files and directories, serving as crucial context for code generation.
  • The experiment involved prompting Claude to write Playwright code for specific browser automation tasks, such as logging into GitHub.
  • MCP enabled Claude to dynamically create and modify local code files, allowing for an iterative development process where the AI refined its scripts based on feedback.
  • This demonstrates how AI assistants, integrated via protocols like MCP, can function as advanced developer tools for automating complex coding tasks and interacting with the local environment.
