Active·★ 76·Apache-2.0·Updated 2026-06-11

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.
