Development environments for coding agents. Enable multiple agents to work safely and independently with your preferred stack.
Overview
What is container-use?
container-use is an open-source MCP server that lets coding agents work in parallel, isolated containerized environments without interfering with your host. It works as a CLI tool with Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible agents, powered by Dagger.
How to use container-use?
Install via Homebrew (macOS) or the install script, then add container-use stdio as an MCP server in your agent. For example, with Claude Code run claude mcp add container-use -- container-use stdio. After setup, ask your agent to create something—it will work in an isolated environment and provide URLs to view the results.

- Real-time visibility: see complete command history and logs
- Direct intervention: drop into any agent’s terminal to take control
- Environment control: standard git workflow to review work
- Universal compatibility: works with any agent, model, or infrastructure
- Open-source and self-hostable
