Airlox MCP Server

by claudezss Your server? Claim it
local only

Airlox runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 4 945 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 28 Oct 2026.

Run your coding agent's commands on machines you own: a sandboxed job slot, not an SSH login.

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: AIRLOX_OWNER_INVITE_DIR (Where to save the owner link of each session the agent creates, for you to open. The tools cannot read it), AIRLOX_NAME (The name other participants see), AIRLOX_RELAY (The relay for new sessions (for a self-hosted relay)).

Airlox — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Airlox?
Airlox runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package airlox was installed 4 945 times last week.
How do I connect Airlox?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls airlox straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Airlox?
The npm package airlox was installed 4 945 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Airlox open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Rust and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
