Skyvern lets AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex) control browsers, extract data, and run workflows. Copy the prompt below into your AI coding agent and you’ll have a running automation in minutes.
Looking to self-host instead? See the local installation guide for full setup instructions.

​
1. Get your API key

Go to app.skyvern.com/settings and get your API key.
Skyvern Settings page showing the API Keys section with a masked key and reveal/copy buttons

​
2. Give this prompt to your AI coding agent

Paste your API key below, then copy the prompt into your AI coding assistant. It will:
  1. Install the Skyvern Python/TypeScript SDK
  2. Ask what you want to automate (say “Go to Hacker News and get the top comment of the #1 post” for example)
  3. Write a browser automation that launches a cloud browser, runs AI actions on pages, and prints the result

​
3. Next steps

​
Connect the MCP server

Give your AI coding assistant direct browser control through natural language. No SDK code needed.
