Simular launches box: a cloud Linux desktop that gives your AI agents a real computer via MCP
omarsar0 · x · 2026-11-13
Simular launched box (box.simular.ai), a cloud Linux desktop exposed as a remote MCP server so agents like Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and VS Code can use a real computer: open a browser, click, type, read the screen and run commands.
Key points:
- OAuth sign-in on first connect, no key pasting; a personal Bearer key works for apps that can't open a browser
- One desktop per account; sleeps when idle, wakes on connection, deleted after 14 consecutive days of sleep
- The box itself is free; model calls consume account credits
- A local CLI (npx @simular-ai/[email protected] connect) auto-configures supported coding agents, with doctor/remove subcommands
