Claude + Kernel
Kernel gives Claude a real, cloud-hosted browser to work in, so your agents can load pages, read rendered content, and act on the web without you running any browser infrastructure. There are a few ways to connect Claude to Kernel depending on where your agent runs:Claude Code and Claude Desktop
Connect the Claude apps you already use to Kernel. Add Kernel’s remote MCP server to manage cloud browsers from Claude Code or Claude Desktop, or install the marketplace plugin to load Kernel’s CLI and SDK skills into Claude Code. Set up Claude Code and Desktop →Claude Agent SDK
The Claude Agent SDK is a library you run yourself — on your own machine or deployed as a Kernel app. Pair it with Kernel’s Playwright Execution API to build agents that browse the web and interact with websites on cloud browsers. Learn more about the Claude Agent SDK →Claude Managed Agents
Claude Managed Agents is Anthropic’s hosted agent harness: define an agent once, then start as many cloud sessions as you need. Claude runs the agent loop in an Anthropic-managed sandbox; Kernel provisions a fresh, isolated Chromium session per run that the agent drives. You run neither the agent loop nor the browser.
