• ZDR: eligible (excludes Covered Models)
• Supported models: claude-fable-5-1, claude-mythos-5-1, claude-fable-5, claude-mythos-5, claude-opus-5, claude-sonnet-5, claude-opus-4-8
• Platforms: Claude API, Claude Platform on AWS (beta), Amazon Bedrock (beta), Google Cloud, Microsoft Foundry (beta)
• Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Claude Opus 4.5 support computer use only through the earlier computer_20251124 tool version, which requires a beta header; see Earlier tool versions.
• Platforms other than the Claude API and Google Cloud currently offer only the earlier beta tool versions.

Claude can interact with computer environments through the computer use tool, which provides screenshot capabilities and mouse/keyboard control for autonomous desktop interaction.

The computer use tool is an Anthropic-defined client toolset: one \{"type": "computer_toolset_20260801"\} entry in tools gives Claude 17 member tools such as screenshot, left_click, type, and zoom, and your application runs every call in an environment you control. It isn't currently available in Claude Managed Agents. Claude's calls are tool_use blocks whose name is the member and which carry "toolset_name": "computer", often several per turn (a batch action).

For tasks that stay inside webpages, the browser use tool is the closer fit: its member tools read and act on the page itself, and it doesn't need a full desktop environment.

Computer use is available on the Claude API and Google Cloud as the computer_toolset_20260801 toolset; see Compatibility for the supported models.

Existing computer_20251124 integrations keep working, and earlier tool versions remain available in beta for models and platforms that don't support the toolset. See Migrate from computer_20251124 to upgrade, or Earlier tool versions for the beta headers.
