Web-eval-agent: AI Tool Autonomously Debugs Web Applications

An MCP server that autonomously tests and debugs web applications

From Hacker News Original Article Hacker News Discussion

Operative.sh has released an MCP server that autonomously tests and debugs web applications directly from your code editor using a browser-powered agent. This tool speeds up QA by navigating, capturing logs, and verifying flows automatically.

Why it matters: Automates end-to-end web app testing and debugging, reducing manual QA effort and accelerating development cycles.

The big picture: Integrates AI-powered agents with Playwright to test frontends, signaling a shift toward autonomous software quality assurance.

The stakes: Complex tasks might face performance and scalability challenges, potentially limiting use on larger or more intricate applications.

Commenters say: Users praise the innovation and speed but question session persistence, scalability, and comparison to similar tools like Browser MCP.
