What you get

ipybox is a unified execution environment for Python code, shell commands, and programmatic MCP tool calls.

ipybox executes code blocks in a stateful IPython kernel. A code block can contain any combination of Python code, shell commands, and programmatic MCP tool calls. Kernels can be sandboxed with sandbox-runtime, enforcing filesystem and network restrictions at OS level.
