Scott Hanselman open-sources sandbox-mcp: disposable Windows VMs for AI agents
davemccollough · x · 2026-11-09
Scott Hanselman released sandbox-mcp (335 stars), an open-source MCP server and CLI that taps Windows' built-in Windows Sandbox to spin up a fresh, throwaway Windows 11 virtual machine in seconds for AI agents.
The workflow: boot a brand-new VM, deploy your app, drive the UI, capture crashes with evidence, then delete the machine. It provides an MCP adapter plus a direct sbx CLI, targets UI automation and crash reproduction, and is MIT licensed.
