MCP.Pizza Chef: Automata-Labs-team

The idea is straightforward: your assistant starts a fresh, isolated container, drops a script or a whole folder into it, runs commands, and streams the output back, so nothing it tries can reach your real files. Docker has to be installed first. The catch is age — no commits have landed since March 2025, well over a year ago, and the project names no replacement, so nothing has been fixed or updated in that time.

Unmaintained · no commits since March 2025; no successor named

code-sandbox-mcp FAQ

Is this still maintained?
No. The last commit was March 2025 and the project has been silent since, with no successor named anywhere in it. Expect no fixes or security updates.
Do I need a key?
No account or key, but Docker must be installed and running on your computer before any of it works.
Can I use this to run code safely without touching my own files?
In principle yes — each run happens in its own container you can discard. Given the project is unmaintained, do not lean on it as your only safety net.
Which apps does it work in?
Claude Desktop is the documented one and the installer writes that config for you; other assistants can be pointed at the same program manually.
How hard is setup?
A single install script fetches the right build and writes the config, but installing and running Docker first is the real work.
Which programming languages does it handle?
Whatever the container image you choose provides. The default is a small Python image, and you can name any other public image instead.
