What is the Sbox MCP server?

Connect Sbox to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to interact with the s&box editor through real-time WebSocket communication. The sbox mcp server is what makes that connection.

Installation

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at ghcr.io/suiramdev/sbox-mcp-server on a container image and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Credentials and setup notes

Where it fits

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. It is maintained by suiramdev; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Sbox's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
