What is Container-MCP?
Container-MCP is a secure implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that allows large language models to safely execute tools within a sandboxed, containerized environment. It provides domain-specific managers for bash commands, Python code, file operations, and web operations, all while ensuring multi-layered security and resource management.
How to use Container-MCP?
To use Container-MCP, you need a Linux system with Podman or Docker, Python 3.12+, Firejail, and AppArmor. After installing the prerequisites, you can clone the repository, run the all-in-one script, or perform the installation steps individually. Once the container is running, connect to it using an MCP client implementation at http://localhost:8000/sse (or your configured port).
