MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for E2B code sandbox. This server provides tools to create, manage, and execute code in secure E2B sandboxes.
Features
- Create Sandbox: Create new E2B sandboxes with customizable timeout and template
- Kill Sandbox: Terminate existing sandboxes by ID
- Run Code: Execute Python code in sandboxes using Jupyter Notebook syntax
- Run Command: Execute shell commands in sandboxes
Installation
pip install code-sandbox-mcp
Or using uv:
uv pip install code-sandbox-mcp
Usage
Configuration
Add the following configuration to your MCP client settings JSON file (e.g., ~/.config/claude_desktop/claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop, or .cursor/mcp.json for Cursor):
{
"mcpServers": {
"code-sandbox-mcp": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["run", "code-sandbox-mcp"],
"env": {
"E2B_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here",
"E2B_DOMAIN": "your_domain_here"
}
}
}
}
Replace your_api_key_here and your_domain_here with your actual E2B credentials.
Restart your MCP client to load the configuration. The tools will be available in your MCP-enabled application!
