Capsulate

Real computers for AI agents. A capsule is a full KVM virtual machine, Linux headless, Linux desktop, or Windows Server desktop for invited testers, taken from a warm pool in about two seconds. Your agent gets exec, files, screenshots, the OS accessibility tree (AT-SPI on Linux, UIAutomation on Windows), checkpoint and rollback of the whole machine, and session replay.

This repository is the doorway: everything a developer installs to talk to Capsulate. It is MIT licensed. The engine (the control plane and the node agent) runs on our metal in Helsinki and is not in this repository.

Quickstart

You need an API key from the dashboard (Settings, API and Keys). Capsulate is in a private beta; request access at capsulate.dev.

npm i -g @capsulate/cli
cap login --api-key cap_live_...
cap launch -t ubuntu-desktop -s 1c2g --wait
cap exec <id> -- python3 -c "print(6 * 7)"
cap shot <id> -o frame.png
cap capsule destroy <id>

Or from TypeScript:

import { Capsulate } from "@capsulate/sdk";

const cap = new Capsulate({ apiKey: process.env.CAPSULATE_API_KEY });
const box = await cap.capsules.launch({ template: "ubuntu-desktop", size: "1c2g" });
await box.waitUntilActive();
await box.exec(["python3", "main.py"]);
await box.findAndClick({ name: "Save" });        // find the control by name, act, verify
const cp = await box.checkpoint("before-submit"); // whole machine, under a second
await box.destroy();

More in examples/ and at docs.capsulate.dev.

Sizes and pricing

Machines are metered per second. The beta is free; the published rates are on the pricing page. Limits and known issues are listed honestly at docs.capsulate.dev/limits: one compute node in Helsinki today, about ten to fifteen capsules active at the same time, Windows for invited testers only.

Developing

npm ci
npm run build:sdk    # the CLI, MCP server and tool packs typecheck against the built SDK types
npm run typecheck
npm run build

npm run build builds the SDK first, then the tool packs, the CLI and the MCP server.

Security

Report vulnerabilities to security@capsulate.dev (see SECURITY.md). Never put a real cap_live_ key in an issue.
