When to pick Facebook Lyr
A Facebook/Messenger MCP server that lets AI agents read and engage with profiles, pages, posts, comments, groups, Messenger conversations, notifications, and events using the user's existing browser session cookies — no Graph API app, tokens, or browser automation required. It supports multi-account and Page switching, write operations (posting, commenting, messaging) with per-identity limits and cooldowns, and honest error reporting where Meta has decommissioned cookie-era endpoints.
When to pick Playwright
Let Claude drive a real browser. Fill forms, take screenshots, scrape data, reproduce bugs — all headful or headless.
