Target Reference Server

MCP Js Overview

This MCP server provides a sandboxed JavaScript and TypeScript runtime using the V8 engine, enabling AI agents to execute code locally with isolation. It supports durable state persistence via content-addressed heap snapshots, allowing stateful sessions across multiple calls. Host capabilities like network, filesystem, subprocess, and module imports are disabled by default and can be enabled through explicit OPA/Rego policies. It supports async execution with pagination, multiple transport protocols, and optional kernel-level confinement for enhanced security.
