Luxor Sandbox MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. Last commit 10 Nov 2026.
Disposable microVM sandboxes for AI agents: run code, read/write files, git, preview URLs.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Luxor Sandbox MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
