Summary
The image is yours to pick, so the sandbox matches the code it is running.
Initialisation takes any Docker image and hands back a container id the later calls address, so Python code runs in a Python image and Go code in a Go one without a second server or a rebuilt environment.
What it is
A code execution sandbox backed by Docker. Each session creates a container from an image you name, runs shell commands inside it, and stops it when you are done.
What you get
- sandbox_initialize — creates a container from a Docker image you choose, and returns the container id every other call takes
- sandbox_exec — runs shell commands inside that container, with output streamed back as it happens
- copy_project — copies a whole directory into the sandbox filesystem
- copy_file and write_file — a single file copied in from your machine, or written directly
- sandbox_stop — ends the container
Requirements
Docker installed and running. The server is a single binary — the vendor's install script places it on Linux, macOS and Windows, or take it from the releases page.
Setup effort
One command — curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Automata-Labs-team/code-sandbox-mcp/main/install.sh | bash
