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.

Run commands and manage files on your own machines. Needs a LetKite account; OAuth sign-in.
Give an agent a real Linux VM: run commands, move files, expose a preview URL, destroy it.
Run your coding agent's commands on machines you own: a sandboxed job slot, not an SSH login.

Linux VMs for AI agents: create VMs, run commands, edit files and open preview URLs.
Rent a Linux VPS from an AI agent: provision, SSH in, run commands. Pay USDC (x402) or card.
Cloud Linux VMs for your agent: run code, Docker, files and HTTPS previews in a Sandboxer microVM.
