E2b Sandbox MCP Overview

The asif-nvc/e2b-sandbox-mcp MCP server gives Claude Code access to E2B cloud-based Linux VMs through 29 MCP tools. It can create and manage sandboxes, execute foreground or background processes, transfer and edit files, and perform Git operations without using the local machine. Sandboxes can be paused, resumed, extended, or destroyed, and running services can receive public preview URLs. Reach for it when an agent needs an isolated environment for repository work, testing, experiments, or temporary development servers.
