Simular Box gives Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor agents their own cloud Linux desktop via MCP

The Simular team launched Simular Box (beta): a cloud computer for AI agents — a Linux desktop with Chrome that keeps your logins, files, and apps. One MCP link lets Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, DeepSeek, or any MCP client use it on your existing subscription.
Highlights:
- Turns chat-only accounts into executing agents, even on free ChatGPT/Gemini plans.
- Agents keep working while you're away; the box sleeps when idle and wakes in 1 second with state intact.
- Multiple agents can share one box and hand off work (e.g., Claude fills a sheet, GPT continues), with all context passed down.
Linux desktop only for now; Windows, macOS, and Android are planned.
