Agreed. Anthropic added a plugin accessible under `/plugins` to CC to make it even easier to add MCP Playwright to your project. It automatically handles taking screenshots.

This project desperately needs a "What does this do differently?" section because automated LLM browser screenshot diffing has been a thing for a while now.
