What the publisher says
From the Sandbox Env MCP repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
sandbox-mcp
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.hs3434/sandbox-env-mcp -->
MCP server that gives AI agents a real working environment: persistent shells, a filesystem, and multi-machine management — backed by Docker containers or remote SSH hosts.
Features
survive across tool calls. Set env vars, activate venvs, change directories, and they stay.
- Persistent shells — stateful bash or PowerShell sessions that
simultaneously. Each has its own isolated workspace and shell pool.
- Multi-machine — manage several Docker containers and SSH hosts
any target machine. All writes are atomic (temp-file + rename).
- Full filesystem access — read, write, patch, and search files on
automatically on first run. One command, ready to go.
- Zero-config startup — creates a default Docker container
step. Agents call env(action="help") to see what's available.
- Progressive discovery — env tool exposes capabilities step by
Build images, inspect configs, commit state, view logs.
- Docker lifecycle — create, stop, start, restart, remove containers.
SSH. Windows targets get automatic code-page probing.
- SSH remote access — connect to Linux and Windows machines over
without blocking access. Pre-write syntax lint for JSON/YAML/TOML.
- Safety net — sensitive-path warnings (.ssh, .aws, .env*)
parameters, and outcomes. Queryable from within the agent session.
- Audit trail — every tool call is logged with timestamps,
Quick start
pip install sandbox-env-mcp
# stdio — for Claude Desktop, Cline, Continue
sandbox-mcp
# HTTP — for remote agents
sandbox-mcp-httpOn first run a default container (python:3.14-slim, named admin) starts automatically with a persistent bash shell. No other setup.
Requirements: Python 3.12+, Docker SDK, running Docker daemon. SSH mode needs openssh-client.
Tools
All tools target the default machine unless an explicit machine parameter is passed.
audit_query is exposed when the audit log is a SQLite database — it lets the agent search historical tool calls.
Shell states
Every shell is in one of four states:
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
