Python code execution sandbox with programmatic MCP tool calling (PTC)

ipybox is a Python code execution sandbox with first-class support for programmatic MCP tool calling. It generates typed Python tool APIs from MCP server tool schemas, supporting both local stdio and remote HTTP servers. Code executes in a sandboxed IPython kernel with MCP tool call approval for security.

    Isolation model is well designed, execution failures stay contained
