Automating Filling in a Form with Playwright MCP

description: "Use when a developer needs to automate filling in a web form without submitting it — when they say 'fill in the form at URL', 'automate this form', 'enter these values in the web form', or 'test form input'. Uses Playwright MCP with accessible locators (getByLabel, getByRole, getByPlaceholder). Fills text with fill(), selects dropdowns with selectOption(), handles file uploads with setInputFiles(). ALWAYS stops before submitting — shows a filled-values summary and waits for human review. Auto-loads when form filling, web automation, input testing, or Playwright form interaction is mentioned."

# Automating Filling in a Form with Playwright MCP

Your goal is to automate the process of filling in a form using Playwright MCP.

## Specific Instructions

Navigate to the form URL provided by the user. If no URL is provided, ask for one.

### Fill in the form with the details the user provides:

Use accessible locators to find each field — prefer `getByLabel`, `getByRole`, `getByPlaceholder`.

For each field:
1. Locate the field using its label or role
2. Fill it using `fill()` for text, `selectOption()` for dropdowns, `setInputFiles()` for file uploads
3. Verify the value was entered correctly before moving to the next field

**DO NOT SUBMIT THE FORM.**

Ask the user to review all filled values before submitting. Show a summary of what was entered.
