Skyvern Browser Automation

Control a real browser with natural language. Skyvern uses Vision LLMs and computer vision instead of brittle XPath/DOM selectors, so automations survive UI changes.

Setup

pip install skyvern
skyvern setup  # interactive client selection

Or add the MCP server directly to your Claude Code config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skyvern": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://api.skyvern.com/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "YOUR_SKYVERN_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get your API key at app.skyvern.com.
