Yutori Python SDK & CLI
The official Python SDK and CLI for the Yutori API — build agents that monitor, research, and browse the web, and operate computers with Yutori.
The SDK offers sync and async clients with full type annotations, plus a yutori CLI for authentication and managing resources from the terminal.
AI agent install (recommended)
Paste this into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, or another coding agent:
Use https://yutori.com/api/llms.txt and set up Yutori for me.
Manual install
On macOS or Linux, the recommended setup is the one-line installer:
curl -fsSL https://yutori.com/install.sh | bash
Installs the global yutori CLI via uv tool install and prompts to add the SDK to your project, run yutori auth login, register the MCP server, install workflow skills, and verify with a browsing task.
Python 3.9+ is required for the SDK.
Non-interactive install (CI, pipe, AI coding agent)
The SDK install, auth, and verification steps are skipped — auth needs a browser, verification needs an API key. MCP server and workflow skills install automatically without prompts.
To scope the MCP install to one coding agent, set YUTORI_INSTALL_CLIENT=<slug> (e.g. claude-code, codex, cursor). Unset, it registers for claude-code, codex, cursor, and gemini-cli. Run npx add-mcp list-agents for the full slug list.
Uninstall the CLI later
curl -fsSL https://yutori.com/uninstall.sh | bash
Removes the global yutori CLI. Saved credentials at ~/.yutori/ are left in place so they survive reinstalls — rm -rf ~/.yutori manually if you want a clean slate. Set YUTORI_UNINSTALL_ASSUME_YES=1 for scripted runs.
Install the package manually
pip install yutori
Or add it to an existing project with uv:
uv add yutori
Authenticate manually
Run this once to save your API key:
yutori auth login
This opens your browser to log in with your Yutori account and saves an API key to ~/.yutori/config.json. The SDK and CLI automatically pick it up.
If you installed the package with uv add, run uv run yutori auth login instead.
Or use an env var / pass the key explicitly:
from yutori import YutoriClient
client = YutoriClient() # Uses saved credentials or YUTORI_API_KEY
client = YutoriClient(api_key="yt-...") # Or pass explicitly
Resolution order: explicit api_key > YUTORI_API_KEY env var > ~/.yutori/config.json.
Configure MCP server and skills manually
The installer sets these up automatically when Node.js is available. To do it manually:
npx add-mcp -n yutori "uvx yutori-mcp"
npx -y skills add yutori-ai/yutori-mcp -g -y -a claude-code
The first command registers the Yutori MCP server with your editor. The second installs workflow skills scoped to your client — swap -a claude-code for another slug if needed (the skills CLI needs git on PATH).
API Overview
The Yutori API provides four main capabilities:
| API | Description | SDK Namespace |
|---|---|---|
| Navigator | Browser- and computer-use models (Navigator n1.5, n2) | client.chat |
| Browsing | One-time browser automation tasks | client.browsing |
| Research | Deep web research using 100+ tools | client.research |
| Scouting | Continuous web monitoring on a schedule | client.scouts |
Navigator API
The Navigator API serves Yutori's models: Navigator n1.5 operates a webpage in a browser and Navigator n2 operates a complete desktop. Both take a task and a screenshot and return the next actions as tool_calls; your code executes them, sends the results back, and calls the model again until it indicates stop. The endpoint follows the OpenAI Chat Completions interface, so client.chat is a drop-in OpenAI-compatible client.
Navigator n1.5 (browser use)
Capture a screenshot of the page and send it with the task:
from yutori import AsyncYutoriClient
from yutori.navigator import aplaywright_screenshot_to_data_url
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright
async with AsyncYutoriClient() as client, async_playwright() as p:
browser = await p.chromium.launch()
page = await browser.new_page()
await page.goto("https://www.yutori.com")
image_url = await aplaywright_screenshot_to_data_url(page)
response = await client.chat.completions.create(
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{"type": "text", "text": "List the team member names."},
{"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": image_url}},
],
}
],
)
message = response.choices[0].message
print(message.content) # Model's thoughts
for tool_call in message.tool_calls or []:
# Execute the requested browser action on `page`, append the tool
# result to the conversation, capture a fresh screenshot, and call
# the model again...
...
This snippet shows a single model call. In practice, you'll run an agent loop: execute the returned actions on the page, capture a fresh screenshot, and call the model again until it returns text with no tool_calls. Complete agent loops live in examples/.
The SDK defaults to Navigator n1.5 (n1.5-latest). Navigator n1.5 requests support selectable tool sets, disable_tools, and structured JSON output via json_schema (returned as response.parsed_json). See the Navigator reference for model IDs, parameters, and the full action space.
If you'd rather not manage browser infrastructure, use the Browsing API below, which runs the Navigator n1.5 on Yutori's cloud browser.
Navigator n2 (computer use)
Navigator n2 operates a full desktop. It produces computer_batch calls — an ordered sequence of GUI actions — and bash calls. You implement the computer environment, and pass the output of the actions to the SDK's agent loop:
from yutori import AsyncYutoriClient
from yutori.navigator import N2ComputerAgent
# Implement the async screenshot and input methods for your environment.
computer = MyComputer(...)
async with AsyncYutoriClient() as client:
agent = N2ComputerAgent(
computer=computer,
completions=client.chat.completions,
)
async for step in agent.run("Open Calculator and compute 17 * 23."):
... # each step yields the model's messages, tool calls, and tool results
computer is your adapter for interfacing with the computer: the loop calls it to execute the model's actions and capture the results — screenshots, command output, file contents. A few conventions the model is trained around — bash over a GUI terminal, image-returning reads, all-or-nothing tool sets — are covered in the API reference, and the SDK ships the reference file-tool implementation (ShellFileToolsMixin) for any sandbox with a shell. Long runs are compacted automatically once the context grows (SDK 0.9.5+); pass compactor=None to disable, and the run instead stops cleanly at the model's 128k context limit.
The complete runnable example is examples/navigator_n2_daytona.py — a compact agent on a disposable Daytona Linux desktop, with the adapter and sandbox lifecycle contained in that one file; Run n2 on Daytona walks through it. To run it:
yutori auth login # or export YUTORI_API_KEY=...
export DAYTONA_API_KEY=... # https://app.daytona.io
uv run https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yutori-ai/yutori-sdk-python/main/examples/navigator_n2_daytona.py \
"Find the OS version and free disk space of this machine, and save a summary to a file on the desktop"
See the Navigator n2 reference for the tools, actions, and coordinate system, and the API reference for direct client.chat.completions.create(...) calls.
Run in local Docker instead (Cua cookbook)
The Cua cookbook runs the full current tool set (computer_batch, edit, read, write, bash) in a disposable local Docker container — no cloud credential needed:
cd examples/navigator_n2
uv sync --python 3.12
uv run python remote_sandbox.py --auto-approve "Open Calculator and compute 17 * 23"
The script prints a Watch the desktop live: URL at startup — open it in a browser to follow along.
Drive your own local Mac
Yutori MCP ships the local harness, built on the same N2ComputerAgent:
uvx yutori-mcp computer-use setup
uvx yutori-mcp computer-use run "In Calculator, compute 17 * 23 and report the result." --app Calculator
Agent-loop helpers
The yutori.navigator subpackage exposes optional helpers for typical agent loops:
| Helper | Purpose |
|---|---|
aplaywright_screenshot_to_data_url(page) |
Capture a Playwright screenshot as a Navigator-optimized WebP data URL. |
denormalize_coordinates(coords, width, height) |
Map the Navigator 1000×1000 coordinate space to viewport pixels. |
format_task_with_context(task, ...) |
Append location, timezone, and current date to a task message. |
format_stop_and_summarize(task) |
Ask the model to summarize when hitting max steps or an error. |
trimmed_messages_to_fit(messages, max_bytes, keep_recent) |
Drop older screenshots to stay under the API size limit. |
map_key_to_playwright(key) / map_keys_individual(keys) |
Convert Navigator n1.5 lowercase key names to Playwright format. |
yutori.navigator.tools |
Packaged JS reference implementations for Navigator n1.5 browser tool sets (extract_elements, find, set_element_value, execute_js). |
N2ComputerAgent / TOOL_SET_COMPUTER_USE_LATEST |
The stable Navigator n2 agent loop and current computer-use tool set (SDK 0.9.3+). |
N2InlineCompactor / N2Compactor |
Default-on context compaction for long n2 trajectories (pass compactor=None to disable), and the protocol for a custom history rewrite policy. |
Full helper reference: api.md.
Browsing API
Run one-time browser automation tasks on Yutori's cloud browser (or on Yutori Local with the user's logged-in desktop sessions):
task = client.browsing.create(
task="Give me a list of all employees (names and titles) of Yutori.",
start_url="https://yutori.com",
)
# Poll for completion
import time
while True:
result = client.browsing.get(task["task_id"])
if result["status"] in ("succeeded", "failed"):
break
time.sleep(5)
print(result)
Common options: require_auth=True for login flows, browser="local" for Yutori Local, webhook_url=... for async completion notifications. Failed tasks may include a rejection_reason.
client.browsing.list() enumerates your browsing tasks — omit limit to get them all, or pass status (running/succeeded/failed) and cursor to filter and paginate.
Structured output
Define the output structure with a JSON Schema dict or a Pydantic model:
from pydantic import BaseModel # optional dependency
class Employee(BaseModel):
name: str
title: str
task = client.browsing.create(
task="Give me a list of all employees (names and titles) of Yutori.",
start_url="https://yutori.com",
output_schema=Employee, # Auto-converted to JSON Schema
webhook_url="https://example.com/webhook",
)
The same output_schema pattern applies to client.research.create and client.scouts.create.
Research API
Perform deep web research using 100+ MCP tools (search engines, APIs, data sources):
task = client.research.create(
query="What are the latest developments in quantum computing from the past week?",
user_timezone="America/Los_Angeles",
)
# Poll for results
while True:
result = client.research.get(task["task_id"])
if result["status"] in ("succeeded", "failed"):
break
time.sleep(5)
Failed tasks may include a rejection_reason.
client.research.list() enumerates your research tasks — handy for exporting or recovering task IDs from a large batch. Omit limit to get them all, or pass status / cursor to filter and paginate:
completed = client.research.list(status="succeeded")
for t in completed["tasks"]:
print(t["task_id"], t["created_at"])
Scouting API
Scouts run on a schedule to monitor the web and notify you when relevant updates occur:
scout = client.scouts.create(
query="News, product updates, and announcements about Yutori AI",
output_interval=86400, # Daily (seconds, min 1800)
webhook_url="https://example.com/webhook",
)
# Manage scouts
scouts = client.scouts.list(status="active")
client.scouts.update(scout["id"], status="paused")
client.scouts.update(scout["id"], status="active")
updates = client.scouts.get_updates(scout["id"], limit=20)
client.scouts.delete(scout["id"])
Async Usage
AsyncYutoriClient mirrors YutoriClient with async methods:
import asyncio
from yutori import AsyncYutoriClient
async def main():
async with AsyncYutoriClient() as client:
usage = await client.get_usage()
scouts = await client.scouts.list()
print(usage, scouts)
asyncio.run(main())
Error Handling
from yutori import YutoriClient, APIError, APIConnectionError, AuthenticationError
try:
client.get_usage()
except AuthenticationError as e:
print(f"Invalid API key: {e}")
except APIConnectionError as e:
print(f"Connection failed: {e}")
except APIError as e:
print(f"API error (status {e.status_code}): {e.message}")
CLI
# Authentication
yutori auth login # Log in via browser
yutori auth status # Show whether an API key is configured locally
yutori auth logout # Remove saved credentials
# Scouts
