• Upload files/folders to correct form positions
• Persistent login via saved browser storage

Quick Setup

# 1. Install Playwright browsers
npx playwright install chromium

# 2. First-time login (saves session for reuse)
npx playwright open --save-storage=~/.playwright-auth.json "https://your-target-site.com"
# Login manually in the browser that opens, then close it

# 3. Future runs will auto-login using saved session
npx playwright open --load-storage=~/.playwright-auth.json "https://your-target-site.com"

MCP Configuration

Add to your MCP settings (Claude Code, OpenCode, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@anthropic-ai/mcp-server-playwright"]
    },
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/"]
    }
  }
}

Environment variables for shell integration:

export CHROME_DEBUG_PORT=9222
export CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR="$HOME/.chrome-autofillin"

Browser Automation Options

Option 1: Playwright CLI (Recommended for OAuth sites)

# First login - saves session
npx playwright open --save-storage=~/.playwright-auth.json "https://molthub.com/upload"

# Subsequent uses - loads saved session
npx playwright open --load-storage=~/.playwright-auth.json "https://molthub.com/upload"

Advantages:

• No "unsafe browser" blocks from Google/GitHub OAuth
• Session persistence across runs
• Works with MCP browser tools

Option 2: Chrome Debug Mode (For non-OAuth sites)

# Start Chrome with debug port
./scripts/start-chrome.sh "https://example.com/form"

# With your default Chrome profile (keeps existing logins)
./scripts/start-chrome.sh --use-default-profile "https://example.com/form"

Note: Chrome debug mode with custom --user-data-dir is blocked by Google OAuth. Use Playwright for sites requiring Google/GitHub login.

Workflow

1. BROWSER SETUP
   - Check for saved session (~/.playwright-auth.json)
   - Launch Playwright Chromium with session
   - Or prompt for one-time login if no session exists

2. NAVIGATION & LOGIN
   - Navigate to target URL
   - Detect if login is required
   - If login needed: Fill username, prompt for password, save session

3. PAGE ANALYSIS
   - Take accessibility snapshot
   - Identify all form fields
   - Map field labels to input elements

4. AUTO-FILL PHASE
   - Fill text fields using fill() or fill_form()
   - Select dropdown options
   - Upload files/folders via upload_file()

5. CONFIRMATION PHASE
   - Display summary of filled data
   - WAIT FOR MANUAL CONFIRMATION
   - User reviews and clicks Submit/Publish

MCP Tools Used

Credential Management

Safe Storage (Recommended)

# Use macOS Keychain
security add-generic-password -a "github" -s "autofillin" -w "your-password"
security find-generic-password -a "github" -s "autofillin" -w

# Use Linux secret-tool
secret-tool store --label="autofillin-github" service autofillin username github

# Use Windows Credential Manager
cmdkey /add:autofillin-github /user:github /pass:your-password

Session Persistence

Sessions saved to ~/.playwright-auth.json include cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage.

Error Handling

Troubleshooting

Chrome won't start with debug mode

# Check if port is in use
lsof -i:9222

# Kill existing processes
pkill -f "remote-debugging-port=9222"

# Retry
./scripts/start-chrome.sh "https://example.com"

Session not persisting

# Verify auth file exists
ls -la ~/.playwright-auth.json

# Re-authenticate
npx playwright open --save-storage=~/.playwright-auth.json "https://target-site.com"

File upload not working

• Ensure file path is absolute
• Check file permissions: ls -la /path/to/file
• For folder uploads, verify the input has webkitdirectory attribute
