Look into the Playwright MCP server, it allows coding agents to scrutinize the results of their work in the web browser. There is also an MCP server for the Chr

  I don't know if plywright works without chrome in debug mode, but I tried the MCP for chrome devtools and it requires chrome to be started in debugging mode and that basically means you cant log into a lot of sites (especially google) since it will block you with an "Unsafe" message. Works pretty well if you owe the target website.

  I was in the same boat on a side project (Electron, Claude Code) -- I considered Playwright but ended up building a simple, focused API instead that allows Claude to connect to the app to inspect logs (main console + browser console), query internal app data + state, and execute arbitrary JS. It's sped up debugging a lot since I can just give it instructions like "found a bug that does XYZ, I think it's a problem with functionABC(); connect to app, click these four buttons in this order, examine the internal state, then trace through the code to figure out what's going wrong and present a solution" I was pretty resistant at first of delegating debugging blindly like that, but it's made the workflow pretty smooth to where I can occasionally just open the app, run through it as a human user and take notes on bugs and flow issues that I find, log them with steps to reproduce, then give Claude a list of bugs to noodle on while I'm focusing on stuff LLMs are terrible at (design, UI, frontend work, etc)
