Overview

AI-generated overview

BoxCompute gives an AI assistant Linux virtual machines: create VMs, run commands, edit files and open preview URLs.

What you can do
  • Create and manage Linux virtual machines for agent work.
  • Run shell commands inside those VMs.
  • Edit files on the VM filesystem.
  • Open preview URLs to reach services running on the VM.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs a disposable Linux environment to execute commands, modify files, or host and preview a running service, rather than working only on the local machine.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint at mcp.boxcompute.ai over streamable HTTP. Authentication is required: either OAuth sign-in or an Authorization header carrying a Bearer BoxCompute API key (bc_live_…) created at app.boxcompute.ai. No packages or environment variables are declared.
Before you install
The assistant can run arbitrary commands and edit files inside the VMs it creates, so review what it executes. Access is tied to a BoxCompute API key or OAuth session; treat the key as a secret and keep it out of shared logs. VM usage may be billed by the provider.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open BoxCompute in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/ai.boxcompute%2Fboxcompute/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "boxcompute": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.boxcompute.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Tools

This server asks you to sign in, so SourceWeft could not read its tools without an account and has not indexed them. What a connected account sees can depend on that account and its permissions.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

    A hosted service is used under its provider's terms, so no license is expected here. This check is left out of the percentage.
