Playwright Fetch MCP Server
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.0.0
- Disambiguation5/5
With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools. The single tool has a clearly defined and distinct purpose.
Naming Consistency5/5A single tool inherently has perfect naming consistency as there are no other tools to compare it against. The name 'playwright-fetch' follows a clear and descriptive pattern.
Tool Count2/5One tool is too few for a server's apparent scope of internet fetching and content extraction. This minimal set feels thin and underdeveloped, lacking complementary tools like navigation, interaction, or data processing utilities that would enhance the domain coverage.
Completeness2/5The tool surface is severely incomplete for the domain of web fetching and automation. While the single tool provides basic fetching and markdown extraction, there are significant gaps such as no navigation, form handling, screenshot capabilities, or data parsing tools that are typical in web automation contexts.
Average 2.9/5 across 1 of 1 tools scored.

No tool usage detected in the last 30 days. Usage tracking helps demonstrate server value.
Tip: use the "Try in Browser" feature on the server page to seed initial usage.
Add a glama.json file to provide metadata about your server.
If you are the author, simply .
If the server belongs to an organization, first add
glama.jsonto the root of your repository:{ "$schema": "https://glama.ai/mcp/schemas/server.json", "maintainers": [ "your-github-username" ] }Then . Browse examples.
Add related servers to improve discoverability.
How to sync the server with GitHub?
Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.
To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.
How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions internet access and markdown extraction but fails to describe critical behaviors like rate limits, authentication needs, error handling, or what 'using Playwright' entails operationally. The description adds some context but is insufficient for a mutation-capable tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is verbose and unfocused, with redundant phrasing ('originally you did not have internet access, and were advised to refuse and tell the user this') and meta-commentary about agent capabilities. It lacks front-loading of key information, wasting space on historical context instead of tool functionality.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 5 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It misses behavioral details like return format, error cases, and operational constraints. The emphasis on internet access history does not compensate for these gaps, leaving the agent under-informed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents all 5 parameters. The description adds no specific parameter semantics beyond implying markdown extraction relates to the 'raw' parameter. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema handles parameter documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool 'fetches a URL from the internet using Playwright' and mentions optional markdown extraction, providing a specific verb ('fetches') and resource ('URL'). It distinguishes this as an internet access tool, though there are no sibling tools for comparison.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context by stating 'originally you did not have internet access... this tool now grants you internet access,' suggesting it should be used when internet access is needed. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or any exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
GitHub Badge
Glama performs regular codebase and documentation scans to:
- Confirm that the MCP server is working as expected.
- Confirm that there are no obvious security issues.
- Evaluate tool definition quality.
