Simular launches box: a cloud Linux desktop that gives AI agents a real computer via MCP
aakashgupta · x · 2026-11-12
Simular released box, a hosted Linux desktop exposed as a remote MCP server (https://mcp.box.simular.ai/mcp) that plugs into Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code and more, letting agents open a browser, click, type, read the screen and run commands. Setup is via OAuth or bearer key; a one-line npx @simular-ai/[email protected] connect configures local coding agents. The box is free (model calls use account credits), sleeps when idle, and is deleted after 14 consecutive dormant days.
