Microsandbox is a local-first microVM runtime and library for running untrusted workloads (AI agents, user code, plugins, CI jobs) inside fast, hardware-isolated lightweight VMs. It offers Docker-like OCI image workflows, sub-100ms startup, multi-language SDKs (TypeScript, Rust, Python, Go, Ruby), an MCP server, and optional hosted cloud execution.

Use cases

  • run untrusted AI agent code in an isolated sandbox
  • execute user-submitted code safely on my server
  • sandbox CI jobs and package installs
  • run scrapers and automation in isolated microVMs
  • give coding agents a sandboxed execution environment via MCP
  • spin up ephemeral dev environments from application code
  • run docker images with hardware-level isolation locally

When to choose

  • you need stronger isolation than containers for untrusted or AI-generated code
  • you want Docker-like OCI workflows with VM-level security boundaries
  • you need fast, programmatically spawned sandboxes with no daemon
  • you want agents to self-manage sandboxes via MCP or skills

When to avoid

  • you only need lightweight process-level sandboxing and KVM/WHP virtualization is unavailable
  • you need orchestration at scale across a cluster rather than local-first sandboxes
  • your workloads are fully trusted and plain containers suffice
