Claude Code and Desktop

Connect the Claude apps you already use to Kernel.

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop reaches Kernel through Kernel’s official connector, added as a custom connector under Settings → Connectors. The Claude client guide has the steps, and covers Claude.ai as well.

Marketplace plugin (Claude Code)

Kernel publishes an official skills marketplace for Claude Code. Installing a plugin from it loads Kernel’s best-practice skills into your coding agent. Run these in the Claude Code REPL, one line at a time:

/plugin marketplace add kernel/skills
/plugin install kernel-cli
/plugin install kernel-sdks

Each plugin bundles a set of skills:

kernel-cli — managing browsers, apps, profiles, and proxies from the CLI, plus managed auth, session debugging, and bot-detection profiling.
kernel-sdks — building browser automation with the TypeScript and Python SDKs.

See the skills repo for the current list.

Remote MCP server (Claude Code)

Add Kernel’s remote MCP server to manage cloud browsers from Claude Code. Using the Kernel CLI (recommended):

kernel mcp install --target claude-code
# Then in the REPL run once to authenticate:
/mcp

Manual setup:

claude mcp add --transport http kernel https://mcp.onkernel.com/mcp
# Then in the REPL run once to authenticate:
/mcp
