Cloud

browser-use/cloud

> Documentation reference for using Browser Use Cloud — the hosted API and SDK for browser automation. Use this skill whenever the user needs help with the Cloud REST API (v2 or v3), browser-use-sdk (Python or TypeScript), X-Browser-Use-API-Key authentication, cloud sessions, browser profiles, profile sync, CDP WebSocket connections, stealth browsers, residential proxies, CAPTCHA handling, webhooks, workspaces, skills marketplace, liveUrl streaming, pricing, or integration patterns (chat UI, subagent, adding browser tools to existing agents). Also trigger for questions about n8n/Make/Zapier integration, Playwright/ Puppeteer/Selenium on cloud infrastructure, or 1Password vault integration. Do NOT use this for the open-source Python library (Agent, Browser, Tools config) — use the open-source skill instead.

Critical Notes

Cloud API base URL: https://api.browser-use.com/api/v2/ (v2) or https://api.browser-use.com/api/v3 (v3)
Auth header: X-Browser-Use-API-Key: <key>
Get API key: https://cloud.browser-use.com/new-api-key
Set env var: BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=<key>
Cloud SDK: uv pip install browser-use-sdk (Python) or npm install browser-use-sdk (TypeScript)
Python v2: from browser_use_sdk import AsyncBrowserUse
Python v3: from browser_use_sdk.v3 import AsyncBrowserUse
TypeScript v2: import { BrowserUse } from "browser-use-sdk"
TypeScript v3: import { BrowserUse } from "browser-use-sdk/v3"
CDP WebSocket: wss://connect.browser-use.com?apiKey=KEY&proxyCountryCode=us

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take browser-use/cloud from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip, uv, npm. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
