This guide provides step-by-step instructions to set up AgentBay in Claude Code, including configuration, examples, and troubleshooting.

What You'll Achieve

After completing this setup:

• AgentBay will be fully integrated and operational
• You can use AgentBay tools directly in Claude Code
• All AgentBay capabilities will be available for your workflows
• Access to 5 different tools

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

• Claude Code installed and configured
• Compatible operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux)

Installation

Step 1: Install AgentBay

Configuration

Step 2: Configure Claude Code

1. Install Claude Code

Download and install Claude Code from the official website

Visit: https://claude.ai/code

Note: Claude Code is available as a native application, not via npm

2. Navigate to Project

Open terminal in your project directory where you want to use the MCP server

3. Install MCP Server

Install the MCP server you want to use (e.g., via npm, pip, or other package manager)

4. Configure MCP Server

Add MCP server configuration to project CLAUDE.md file or use --mcp-config flag

Note: CLAUDE.md is preferred for project-specific configuration

5. Test Integration

Start Claude Code and verify MCP server is working

claude

Note: Use interactive mode to test MCP server functionality

Configuration Details

Add to your project's CLAUDE.md file:

## MCP Servers

### AgentBay
- **Installation**: agentbay
- **Configuration**: 
- **Description**: An MCP server for providing serverless cloud infrastructure for AI agents.

Claude Code will automatically detect and load MCP servers from your project context.

Examples

Once configured, you can use AgentBay in Claude Code:

Open Browser Session

Launch browser and navigate to specific website

Ask Claude Code: "Open browser with wuying-agentbay and access wuying.aliyun.com"

Expected Result: Browser session started with navigation to specified URL and screen streaming enabled

Development Environment Setup

Create isolated development environment for coding project

Ask Claude Code: "Set up a Python development environment with required packages for data analysis"

Expected Result: Linux environment created with Python, pip, and data analysis libraries installed

File Processing Workflow

Upload, process, and download files using cloud resources

Ask Claude Code: "Upload my dataset.csv, run data processing script, and download the results"

Expected Result: File uploaded, processing completed in cloud environment, results available for download

Multi-Agent Deployment

Deploy multiple AI agents for parallel processing

Ask Claude Code: "Deploy 5 AI agents for parallel image processing tasks with load balancing"

Expected Result: Multiple agent instances deployed, work distributed, and results aggregated

Testing Your Setup

1. Run claude in your project directory
2. Ask Claude to list available tools and verify AgentBay tools are present
3. Test AgentBay functionality by asking Claude to use specific tools

Test commands:

claude

claude --debug

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

API Key Authentication Failed

Symptoms: Access denied errors, Invalid API key messages, 401 Unauthorized

Cause: Invalid or expired API key

Solution:

• Verify API key is correct and active in AgentBay Console
• Check API key permissions and quotas
• Regenerate API key if expired or compromised
• Ensure API key is properly URL-encoded in SSE endpoint

Concurrent Instance Limit Exceeded

Symptoms: Resource allocation errors, Instance creation failures

Cause: Public beta limit of 10 concurrent instances reached

Solution:

• Wait for existing instances to complete or terminate them
• Optimize workflows to use fewer concurrent instances
• Consider upgrading to production plan for higher limits
• Monitor instance usage and implement resource pooling

Environment Session Lost

Symptoms: Session disconnection, State not persisted, Data loss

Cause: Network connectivity issues or session timeout

Solution:

• Use EXTERNALID parameter for persistent sessions
• Implement session restoration mechanisms
• Save work frequently to persistent storage
• Check network stability and connection quality

Screen Streaming Performance Issues

Symptoms: Lag in browser streaming, Poor video quality, Connection drops

Cause: Network bandwidth limitations or high latency

Solution:

• Check internet connection speed and stability
• Use lower quality settings for better performance
• Choose nearest edge location for better latency
• Optimize browser usage for streaming performance

Server Not Found

Symptoms: Command not found errors, Server tools unavailable

Cause: Server not installed or not in PATH

Solution:

• Verify server installation
• Check PATH environment variable
• Install server globally or in project

Configuration Not Loaded

Symptoms: CLAUDE.md changes not recognized, Old server config used

Cause: CLAUDE.md file not in correct location or format

Solution:

• Ensure CLAUDE.md is in project root
• Verify markdown syntax is correct
• Restart Claude Code session

AgentBay not appearing in Claude Code

Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available

Cause: Configuration or installation issue

Solution:

• Verify configuration syntax
• Check AgentBay installation
• Restart Claude Code
• Check logs for error messages
