Cloud Service Specifications
Cloud Resources
The service supports calling shared resources, with limited free service during the public beta, and a concurrency limit of 10 instances. Service regions are automatically assigned based on customer access IP.
Runtime Environment
The service supports built-in Linux version images. Wuying continuously enriches and updates image capabilities while ensuring backward compatibility.
MCP Tools
The initial release environment supports the Browser tool, File tool, and Terminal tool by default. For more updates on tools, please visit the official site.
Getting Started
Step 1: Create an API Key
Please create your own API Key.
Log in to the AgentBay Console.
Click Service Management in the left navigation bar.
On the Service Management page, click Create API KEY.
Enter a name in the Create API KEY dialog box and click OK.
Note: During the public beta, only 10 API Keys can be created. The created API Key will be displayed in the list on the service management page, and you can copy it for later use.
Step 2: Complete MCP Service Configuration
Confirm the runtime environment and obtain MCP information.
Log in to the AgentBay Console.
Click Configure Resources in the left navigation bar.
Select an API Key you created from the API Key dropdown list.
Select an image from the Select Image dropdown list.
Note: The service supports built-in Linux version images. Wuying continuously enriches and updates image capabilities while ensuring backward compatibility.
On the right side of Tool Capabilities and Interface, check available MCP tools. Click View to see more details.
In the Obtain MCP Information text box, click Copy Code in the top right corner, and add the code to tools that support MCP (such as Cline, Cursor, etc.).
Here's an example using Cursor V0.48.9:
Open the Cursor Settings panel and click MCP in the left navigation bar.
In the MCP Servers panel, click Add new global MCP server in the top right corner.
Paste the following code into the opened mcp.json file and save it. Supported installation methods include SSE and STDIO.
Note: Please replace YOUR_API_KEY with the API Key starting with akm- created in Step 1.
Here's an example using the SSE method: The SSE method completes a handshake through an online long connection each time the service is run, without requiring plugin downloads.
{
"mcpServers": {
"wuying_mcp_server": {
"url": "https://agentbay.wuying.aliyun.com/sse?APIKEY=YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
After the task execution is completed, the cloud environment may be released. If you wish to retain related configuration or environment for next time, add the EXTERNALID parameter in the code above. Example:
{
"mcpServers": {
"wuying_mcp_server": {
"url": "https://agentbay.wuying.aliyun.com/sse?APIKEY=YOUR_API_KEY&EXTERNALID=user001"
}
}
}
Step 3: Using Screen Streaming (Optional)
Support is provided for opening cloud computer screens through the Wuying Web SDK embedded in an iframe or by pulling the Wuying Web client via a browser. When calling the cloud computer screen stream, MCP will return a link with login parameters, formatted as https://wuying.aliyun.com?mcp.html?authcode=<authCode>&resourceId=<resourceId>.
This link has validity and open limits, and it is recommended to use it immediately.
You can configure keyboard and mouse interaction switches through the parameters &input=true&keyboard=true in the URL, or configure interaction switches in real time through the Web SDK interface. For detailed information, please refer to Web SDK Documentation。
Next Steps
You can test the effect using built-in prompts like open the browser with wuying-agentbay and access wuying.aliyun.com or similar prompts. If configured correctly, the Wuying cloud environment will be initiated, and browser operations will be executed. During this process, the model will provide a Web link for you to open the Wuying screen stream and take over operations. Next Steps
