MCP Code Executor Server
A robust Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI agents to execute code across multiple programming languages in a secure, isolated environment.
🚀 Overview
MCP Code Executor Server standardizes how AI models connect to various programming runtimes by exposing a unified MCP tool endpoint. It allows AI assistants to:
- Submit code in a supported language.
- Execute it in a controlled, sandboxed environment.
- Receive output, including compilation or runtime errors.
🔑 Key Features
- Multi-Language Support: Java, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and C++.
- Secure Execution: Isolated containers with resource limits (CPU, memory, timeouts).
- MCP Integration: Conformant MCP server for seamless client discovery.
- Automatic Compilation: Handles compile-and-run for Java, C++, and TypeScript.
- Detailed Error Feedback: Returns both compile-time and runtime error messages.
- Resource Cleanup: Automatically deletes temporary files and enforces execution timeouts.
📐 Architecture
The MCP Code Executor Server follows a client-server model:
- MCP Client: Protocol client that connects to this server.
- MCP Server: This application, exposing code-execution tools.
- Sandboxed Runtimes: Containers or isolated processes per request.

Code Execution Architecture
🏁 Getting Started
Prerequisites
- Java 17+
- Python 3.8+
- Node.js & npm
- g++ or another C++ compiler
Local Setup
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-code-executor-server.git cd mcp-code-executor-server
-
Build & Run:
# Build the project ./mvnw clean package # Start the server ./mvnw spring-boot:run
The server listens on port 8080 by default.
Using Docker
For isolation, run in Docker:
# Build Docker image
docker build -t mcp-code-executor .
# Run container
docker run -p 8080:8080 mcp-code-executor
Or with Docker Compose:
docker-compose up -d
🛠️ Connecting MCP Clients
- Start your MCP-compatible AI client.
- Point it to
http://localhost:8080
. - Discover and invoke the
code-execution
tool.
Example MCP request:
{
"language": "python",
"code": "print('Hello, world!')\nprint('hello again')"
}
