Description

Playwright MCP sends **~14,000 tokens** for a content-heavy page like Hacker News. Most of that is noise. Your context window fills up. Your agent gets confused. You pay for it.

Installation

This entry records only its repository, not the path inside it, so there is no exact command to give. Open the source below and copy the folder into ~/.claude/skills/, or the file into ~/.claude/agents/.

The Problem

Playwright MCP sends **~14,000 tokens** for a content-heavy page like Hacker News. Most of that is noise. Your context window fills up. Your agent gets confused. You pay for it.

Leapfrog sends **~1,400 tokens**. Same page. Same information. Up to 10x less noise.

          tokens per page (Hacker News, real test)

Savings range from 2-10x depending on page complexity. Content-heavy pages see the biggest wins. Dense forms see the smallest. The median across real-world sites is **~4-5x**.

Quick Start

npx leapfrog-mcp --doctor          # verify everything works
npx leapfrog-mcp --stealth-audit   # test all 19 stealth patches
npx leapfrog-mcp --config          # print MCP config to paste

Add to `~/.mcp.json` (Claude Code) or your editor's MCP config:

{
  "leapfrog": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "leapfrog-mcp"],
    "env": {
      "LEAP_MAX_SESSIONS": "15",
      "LEAP_TILE": "true",
      "LEAP_HUD": "true",
      "LEAP_AUTO_CONSENT": "true"
    }
  }
}

Leapfrog uses `playwright-core` (15MB) instead of `playwright` (1.6GB) and does **not** bundle a browser. Either:

  • Set LEAP_CHANNEL=chrome to use your installed Chrome/Chromium (recommended)
  • Or run npx playwright-core install chromium to install the bundled Chromium binary
