mcp vs mcpsandbox
mcp: Browser MCP is an MCP server and Chrome extension that enables AI applications like VS Code, Claude, and Cursor to automate your browser. It performs automation locally, leveraging your existing browser profile for speed, privacy, and stealth.; mcpsandbox: mcpsandbox provides a lightweight sandbox object inspired by Daytona-style ergonomics but built around command projection instead of a full VM or container. It maps capabilities into a minimal runtime and lets an agent use them through shell commands and a small typed API. It supports just-bash as the execution engine, built-in filesystem sandboxing, git integration, MCP-backed commands, TypeScript handlers, existing binaries, and external sandbox providers.
