What

MCP servers are external tools Claude Code can connect to. Claude Code can now produce a server setup named browser that runs the script skills/run/scripts/playwright-mcp.mjs with node. It sets CLAUDE_TEST_PROJECT_DIR to your project folder.

Separately, the list of keys Claude Code recognises in a plugin's manifest (the file describing a plugin) now includes channels, monitors, settings, userConfig and experimental.

Why

This points to a bundled skill for running and controlling a browser.
