MCP Server Overview

The declaw-ai/mcp-server MCP server connects MCP-compatible AI tools to Declaw secure sandboxes for isolated command execution and file management. It creates and destroys sandboxes, runs shell commands, reads and writes files, and lists files or active sandboxes. Sandbox creation supports security presets, outbound domain allowlists, and audit logging, with stricter modes adding PII scanning and prompt-injection defense. Reach for it when an agent needs to execute untrusted or generated code with configurable network and data-safety policies.

Primary Use Cases for MCP Server:
  • Run generated code in an isolated sandbox
  • Restrict sandbox traffic to approved domains
  • Inspect and modify files during agent workflows
  • Apply prompt-injection and PII safeguards to execution
