container-use

Containerized environments for coding agents. (📦🤖) (📦🤖) (📦🤖)

**Container Use** lets coding agents do their work in parallel environments without getting in your way. Go from babysitting one agent at a time to enabling multiple agents to work safely and independently with your preferred stack. See the [full documentation](https://container-use.com).

It's an open-source MCP server that works as a CLI tool with Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible agents. Powered by [Dagger](https://dagger.io).
