Container Use
NormalDescription
Development environments for coding agents. Enable multiple agents to work safely and independently with your preferred stack. Provides isolated development environments to avoid conflicts and improve collaboration.
Key Features
- Isolated container environments — each agent gets its own git branch and fresh container, eliminating conflicts between parallel agents
- Real-time visibility into agent activity — complete command history and logs show exactly what agents did, not just what they claim
- Direct intervention capability — drop into any agent's live terminal to inspect state and take control when stuck
- Standard git workflow integration — review any agent's work with simple git checkout of branch names
- Universal agent compatibility — works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent with zero vendor lock-in
- Open-source MCP server powered by Dagger, providing a reusable infrastructure layer for coding agents
Use Cases
💡 Running multiple coding agents in parallel on different features without branch conflicts
💡 Monitoring and auditing AI agent behavior during autonomous development tasks
💡 Safely experimenting with AI-generated code by isolating each attempt in its own environment
💡 Team environments where multiple developers each use AI agents on a shared repository
💡 CI/CD pipelines that need to test AI agent outputs in hermetic, reproducible containers

Quick Start
Install via `brew install dagger/tap/container-use` (macOS) or the curl installer. Add as an MCP server to your agent: `claude mcp add container-use -- container-use stdio`. Then ask your agent to create something — it will work in an isolated environment and provide URLs to view results.
