Claude Computer Use
Claude's Computer Use allows Claude to directly interact with your computer to perform tasks much like a human. This capability allows Claude to move the cursor, click buttons, type text, and navigate the web, thereby automating complex, multi-step workflows.
Hyperbrowser's Claude Computer Use agent allows you to easily execute agent tasks on the web with just a simple call. Hyperbrowser exposes endpoints for starting/stopping a Claude Computer Use task and for getting it's status and results.
By default, these tasks are handled in an asynchronous manner of first starting the task and then checking it's status until it is completed. However, if you don't want to handle the monitoring yourself, our SDKs provide a simple function that handles the whole flow and returns the data once the task is completed.
Installation
npm install @hyperbrowser/sdk
or
yarn add @hyperbrowser/sdk
Usage
import { Hyperbrowser } from "@hyperbrowser/sdk";
import { config } from "dotenv";
config();
const hbClient = new Hyperbrowser({
apiKey: process.env.HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY,
});
const main = async () => {
const result = await hbClient.agents.claudeComputerUse.startAndWait({
task: "what are the top 5 posts on Hacker News",
});
console.log(`Output:\n\n${result.data?.finalResult}`);
};
main().catch((err) => {
console.error(`Error: ${err.message}`);
});
Claude Computer Use tasks can be configured with a number of parameters. Some of them are described briefly here, but a list can be found in our Claude Computer Use API Reference.
Reuse Browser Session
You can pass in an existing sessionId
to the Claude Computer Use task so that it can execute the task on an existing session. Also, if you want to keep the session open after executing the task, you can supply the keepBrowserOpen
param.
import { Hyperbrowser } from "@hyperbrowser/sdk";
import { config } from "dotenv";
config();
const hbClient = new Hyperbrowser({
apiKey: process.env.HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY,
});
const main = async () => {
const session = await hbClient.sessions.create();
try {
const result = await hbClient.agents.claudeComputerUse.startAndWait({
task: "What is the title of the first post on Hacker News today?",
sessionId: session.id,
keepBrowserOpen: true,
});
console.log(`Output:\n${result.data?.finalResult}`);
const result2 = await hbClient.agents.claudeComputerUse.startAndWait({
task: "Tell me how many upvotes the first post has.",
sessionId: session.id,
});
console.log(`\nOutput:\n${result2.data?.finalResult}`);
} catch (err) {
console.error(`Error: ${err}`);
} finally {
await hbClient.sessions.stop(session.id);
}
};
main().catch((err) => {
console.error(`Error: ${err.message}`);
});
Session Configurations
You can also provide configurations for the session that will be used to execute the task just as you would when creating a new session itself. These could include using a proxy or solving CAPTCHAs. To see the full list of session configurations, checkout the Session API Reference.
import { Hyperbrowser } from "@hyperbrowser/sdk";
import { config } from "dotenv";
config();
const hbClient = new Hyperbrowser({
apiKey: process.env.HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY,
});
const main = async () => {
const result = await hbClient.agents.claudeComputerUse.startAndWait({
task: "what are the top 5 posts on Hacker News",
sessionOptions: {
acceptCookies: true,
}
});
console.log(`Output:\n\n${result.data?.finalResult}`);
};
main().catch((err) => {
console.error(`Error: ${err.message}`);
});
