Run multiple isolated containerized environments for coding agents with git branch isolation and terminal access.
Quick Install
Automated & IDE SetupCopy the AI prompt to install this server into Claude Code, Cursor, or another agent — or use 1-click editor setup below.
One-click editor setup isn’t available for this listing yet — we don’t have a confirmed install command, and we’d rather show nothing than point your editor at the wrong package or host. Follow the project’s own setup instructions, linked above.
Manual Client & Custom JSON ConfigExpand JSON ▾
No confirmed setup config for this listing yet. We only publish a config block when the install details come from the project itself — its README, its docs, or a verified owner. We haven’t found those for dagger/container-use, and we’d rather show nothing than a guess you’d paste into your client. Follow the project’s own setup instructions for the current steps.

Documentation Overview
container-use
Containerized environments for coding agents. (📦🤖) (📦🤖) (📦🤖)
Container Use lets coding agents do their work in parallel environments without getting in your way. Go from babysitting one agent at a time to enabling multiple agents to work safely and independently with your preferred stack. See the full documentation.
It's an open-source MCP server that works as a CLI tool with Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible agents. Powered by Dagger.
- 📦 Isolated Environments: Each agent gets a fresh container in its own git branch - run multiple agents without conflicts, experiment safely, discard failures instantly.
- 👀 Real-time Visibility: See complete command history and logs of what agents actually did, not just what they claim.
- 🚁 Direct Intervention: Drop into any agent's terminal to see their state and take control when they get stuck.
- 🎮 Environment Control: Standard git workflow - just
git checkout <branch_name>to review any agent's work. - 🌎 Universal Compatibility: Works with any agent, model, or infrastructure - no vendor lock-in.
🦺 This project is in early development and actively evolving. Submit issues and/or reach out to us on Discord in the #container-use channel.
Quick Start
Install
Setup with Your Agent
Container Use works with any MCP-compatible agent. The setup is always the same: add container-use stdio as an MCP server.
👉 Complete setup guide for all agents (Cursor, Goose, VSCode, etc.)
Example with Claude Code:
💡 Command Shortcut
The container-use command is also available as cu for convenience. Both commands work identically:
container-use stdio(used in documentation)cu stdio(shortcut)
Try It
Ask your agent to create something:
Create a hello world app in python using flask
Your agent will work in an isolated environment and give you URLs to view the app and explore the code!
