Shiplight MCP gives AI coding agents browser automation for verifying their own UI changes: every interaction is captured as a human-readable step that becomes a rerunnable regression test on the Shiplight platform. It installs as a local stdio server via npx @shiplightai/mcp and generates Playwright semantic locators (PWDEBUG=console is required).
