Container Use vs ZKshare

A side-by-side look at the Container Use and ZKshare MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.

Frequently asked questions

Container Use is categorized under Code Execution and uses an install path we have not confirmed yet. ZKshare belongs to Code Execution and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Container Use for code execution work and ZKshare for code execution.

Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client. Container Use has no confirmed install command yet — follow its own setup instructions.

Container Use is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. ZKshare has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.

Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add dagger-container-use and zkshare as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
