Computer
The engine that runs a bot's whole turn on its own cloud computer instead of on your machine.
When to use it
- The work belongs on a separate machine, away from your own files.
- You want to watch a bot use a full desktop and browser.
For most jobs, a bot on a normal engine that's been given a cloud computer does the same work and keeps all of Murage's tools. Use this engine when you want the whole turn to happen on the cloud computer.
Set it up
Step 1
Add your Box key
Add your Box key in SettingsTools & Connections.
You're done when: the key is saved.
Step 2
Create the cloud computer
Open the bot's Computer panel and create its cloud computer.
You're done when: the bot has a cloud computer.
Step 3
Choose the Computer engine
In Bot settingsModel, set the Engine to Computer and pick a model. Models are labeled "on the box", for example a Claude or Codex model that runs on the cloud computer.
You're done when: the bot shows the Computer engine and a model.
What works
- A full desktop on the cloud computer: browser, shell and files.
- The bot's screen shows live in the chat.
- Stopping the turn from Murage stops the work on the cloud computer.
Known limits
- None of Murage's own tools. The agent works only with what's on the cloud computer. It can't hand work to other bots, use connected apps or your MCP servers, or see pictures you attach.
- No approval cards. The agent on the cloud computer doesn't stop to ask you before its actions.
- One run is capped at 30 minutes. A longer run is interrupted.
- No VPS or Local VM. It can't use your own VPS or a Local VM. Use Claude Code or another engine for those.
- No program to point at. There's no Set CLI… for this engine.
