Kilntainers

Acerca de

Kilntainers is an MCP server designed to equip LLM agents with secure, isolated, and ephemeral Linux sandboxes for executing shell commands. This robust solution empowers agents to leverage the full power of Linux utilities like `grep`, `find`, and `awk` for complex tasks, all while eliminating the security risks associated with direct host OS access. Supporting a range of backends, including Docker, Podman, cloud-hosted micro-VMs (Modal, E2B), and WebAssembly sandboxes, Kilntainers ensures each agent operates within its own dedicated, clean environment. These sandboxes are automatically created for the duration of an MCP session and then shut down, guaranteeing no shared state or exposure of sensitive agent data.

Características Principales

• Designed for security, with agents communicating with the sandbox externally, never running inside it.
• Supports multiple backends: Docker, Podman, Modal, E2B, and WebAssembly (WASM BusyBox/custom WASM).
• 20 GitHub stars
• Offers a simple MCP interface with a single `sandbox_exec` tool for running Linux commands.
• Provides isolated sandboxes for each agent, preventing shared state and cross-contamination.
• Ensures ephemeral environments that are automatically cleaned up after each MCP session.

Casos de Uso

• Providing a safe execution layer for agent-generated code without exposing sensitive API keys or prompts.
• Securely enabling LLM agents to leverage common Linux command-line utilities.
• Scaling agent operations to thousands of parallel instances with isolated execution environments.
