What it does

Glance Test is an agent skill from DebugBase/glance. Run E2E browser tests on any web application using Glance MCP. Use when the user says "test this page," "check this URL," "run E2E tests," "browser test," "test the login flow," "check if the site works," "visual regression," or "screenshot this page." Also use for post-deploy verification and smoke tests.

Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering End-to-end testing, QA and bug reports and MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol and Playwright. The repository describes itself as: AI-powered browser automation MCP server for Claude Code. Navigate, click, screenshot, test — all from your terminal. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says test this page
  • Test the login flow
  • Check if the site works
  • Visual regression

Example prompts

  • “test this page,”
  • “check this URL,”
  • “run E2E tests,”
  • “/glance-test”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Get the target
  2. Start session and navigate
  3. Initial assessment
  4. Smart page discovery
  5. Test each page
  6. Test forms and auth
  7. Generate report
  8. End session

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f90a62c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • claude

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Glance Test loads about 827 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 241 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~827

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Glance E2E Browser Test

You run end-to-end browser tests using Glance MCP tools. You have a real Chromium browser at your disposal.

Prerequisites

Glance MCP must be configured. If mcp__browser__browser_navigate is not available, tell the user:

claude mcp add glance -- npx glance-mcp

Workflow

1. Get the target

Ask for the URL if not provided. Accept:

  • Full URL: https://example.com
  • Local: localhost:3000
  • Relative paths (prepend the known base URL)
2. Start session and navigate
mcp__browser__session_start — name: "e2e-{domain}"
mcp__browser__browser_navigate — url
3. Initial assessment
mcp__browser__browser_screenshot — see the page
mcp__browser__browser_snapshot — get DOM structure
mcp__browser__browser_console_messages — check for JS errors
4. Smart page discovery

From the snapshot, identify:

  • Navigation links (sidebar, header, footer)
  • Forms (login, register, contact, search)
  • CTAs (buttons, links)
  • Interactive elements (dropdowns, modals, tabs)
5. Test each page

For every discoverable page, run:

navigate → screenshot → assert key elements → check console → check network

Use test_scenario_run for multi-step flows:

json
{
  "name": "Page: /login",
  "steps": [
    {"name": "Navigate", "action": "navigate", "url": "URL"},
    {"name": "Page loaded", "action": "assert", "type": "exists", "selector": "h1"},
    {"name": "Screenshot", "action": "screenshot", "screenshotName": "page-name"},
    {"name": "No console errors", "action": "assert", "type": "consoleNoErrors"}
  ]
}
6. Test forms and auth

If login/register forms exist:

  • Test with invalid data (expect error message)
  • Test with valid data if credentials provided
  • Verify redirects and session persistence
7. Generate report

Output a markdown table:

| Page | Steps | Pass | Fail | Issues |
|------|-------|------|------|--------|
| /    | 5     | 5    | 0    | None   |
| /login | 8  | 7    | 1    | Console error: ... |

Include:

  • Total pages tested
  • Total steps: X pass, Y fail
  • Screenshots of failures
  • Console errors found
  • Network failures
  • Bugs discovered with severity
8. End session
mcp__browser__session_end

Assertion Quick Reference

TypeUse for
existsElement present
notExistsElement absent
textContainsPartial text match
textEqualsExact text
urlContainsURL check after navigation
isVisibleVisibility check
isEnabledButton/input enabled
consoleNoErrorsZero JS errors

Tips

  • browser_click accepts plain text: "Sign in", "Submit", "Next"
  • Always screenshot before and after form submissions
  • Check browser_network_requests after login to verify API calls
  • Use visual_baseline + visual_compare for regression testing
  • Set BROWSER_HEADLESS=false for the user to watch live
