Always-on Claude Code browser automation agent controllable via Telegram

From the Xiry library · Updated 10 October 2026

Visit github.com ↗

An open-source setup script and service stack that turns any Ubuntu server into a 24/7 Claude Code automation assistant. It connects Claude Code to a persistent Chromium browser session via Browser Use Cloud and gives you an optional Telegram bot to trigger tasks on the go. When the agent hits CAPTCHAs or login walls, it provides a live browser view URL so you can complete manual authentication.

What it's for

  • Run persistent, scheduled browser automation tasks on a cheap VPS
  • Trigger web automation scripts and browser tasks directly via Telegram messages
  • Handle authenticated web flows by stepping in via live browser URLs for 2FA or CAPTCHAs
  • Automate lead qualification and customer support triage in Telegram

Features

  • One-line installation script for Ubuntu servers, VPS instances, or local hardware
  • Continuous Claude Code session running as a systemd service
  • Persistent Chromium session via browser-harness with preserved cookies and logins
  • Integrated Telegram bot interface for text-based task triggering
  • Live-view URL fallback for human handoff during 2FA or CAPTCHA challenges
  • Built-in web terminal (ttyd) accessible over localhost
  • Browser Use Cloud integration providing proxies and cloud browser infrastructure

Pricing

Open source. Free and open-source (MIT). Requires Anthropic API/Claude subscription and Browser Use Cloud API (free tier available). Managed pilots start at $1,000/month.
