agentbox
One-click creation and management of multi-agent development environments
Install & Use
Copy this prompt and send it to your AI assistant (Claude / Cursor / TRAE / Codex / WorkBuddy etc.) to auto-install:

AgentBox addresses the pain point for developers in quickly setting up, managing, and reusing isolated development environments for multiple AI agents (such as Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) locally or in the cloud. With a single command, it can 'teleport' the current project into a brand-new, isolated virtual machine, automatically configuring all development tools, plugins, and network settings to form a complete development sandbox that can be paused and resumed at any time.
Usage is very intuitive: after a global installation, run agentbox claude to launch a sandbox containing Claude and your project code. You can use agentbox dashboard to view the status of all running sandboxes, and commands like agentbox attach/shell/code to quickly connect, manage, or switch between them. It also supports integration with terminal tools like iTerm2 and tmux to enhance operational efficiency.
This tool is ideal for developers who need to run multiple AI coding assistants simultaneously, conduct parallel experiments, or isolate environments for different projects. Whether you're a front-end, back-end, or full-stack developer, you can use it to quickly set up standardized development environments, avoid configuration conflicts, and flexibly choose deployment locations between local Docker and cloud providers (such as Hetzner, Vercel).
It is recommended to run agentbox install during initial setup to complete the interactive configuration wizard. Since creating the first sandbox requires building a base image (approximately 1GB), please ensure a stable network connection. For cloud usage, you need to configure your account and access keys on the respective platform in advance.
Key Features
Unlike single AI coding plugins, AgentBox provides a complete, isolated, and persistent virtual machine-level development sandbox, supporting parallel execution of multiple AI agents and instant snapshot recovery. Compared to manual environment setup, it enables one-click project environment replication and seamless cloud migration.
Limitations
Not suitable for lightweight scenarios requiring only simple code completion or temporary, one-off tasks. It has certain system resource requirements (e.g., Docker, specific Node.js versions).
FAQ
What's the difference between AgentBox and using the Claude plugin directly in VS Code?
AgentBox provides a complete, isolated virtual machine containing an independent browser, IDE, terminal, and network environment. It allows running multiple AI assistants with different configurations simultaneously without interference, and supports environment snapshots and cloud deployment.
Does using a cloud provider (like Hetzner) incur additional costs?
Yes, using cloud service providers will incur corresponding cloud resource charges. AgentBox itself is an open-source tool and does not charge any fees.
