mcp-name: io.github.gradion-ai/ipybox
ipybox is a unified execution environment for Python code, shell commands, and programmatic MCP tool calls.
ipybox executes code blocks in a stateful IPython kernel. A code block can contain any combination of Python code, shell commands, and programmatic MCP tool calls. Kernels can be sandboxed with sandbox-runtime, enforcing filesystem and network restrictions at OS level.
It generates Python APIs for MCP server tools via mcpygen, and supports application-level approval of individual tool calls and shell commands during code execution. ipybox runs locally on your computer, enabling protected access to your local data and tools.
Note Next generation ipybox
This is the next generation of ipybox, a complete rewrite. Older versions are maintained on the 0.6.x branch and can be obtained with
pip install ipybox<0.7.
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Stateful execution | State persists across executions in IPython kernels |
| Unified execution | Combine Python code, shell commands, and programmatic MCP tool calls in a code block |
| Shell command execution | Run shell commands via !cmd syntax, capture output into Python variables |
| Programmatic MCP tool calls | MCP tools called via generated Python API ("code mode"), not JSON directly |
| Python tool API generation | Typed functions and Pydantic models generated from MCP tool schemas via mcpygen |
| Application-level approval | Individual approval of tool calls and shell commands during code execution |
| Lightweight sandboxing | Optional kernel isolation via Anthropic's sandbox-runtime |
| Local execution | No cloud dependencies, everything runs locally on your machine |
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Python SDK | Python API for building applications on ipybox |
| MCP server | ipybox as MCP server for code actions and programmatic tool calling |
| Claude Code plugin | Plugin that bundles the ipybox MCP server and a code action skill |
Tip Freeact agent
Freeact is a general-purpose agent built on ipybox.
General-purpose AI agent that acts via code actions through a unified execution interface.
Helps you take a change from a rough idea or bug report through to a tested, reviewed result, with each step handled by a focused skill. Its skills cover pinning down domain terms, designing module interfaces, diagnosing hard bugs, and reviewing changes against your repo's coding standards.
A development methodology for coding agents that makes the agent brainstorm before building, follow plans, run parallel work and finish branches in a disciplined way. You get fewer skipped steps and more consistent results from your coding assistant.
Gives your coding agent a planning, testing and review routine to follow on every task. It plans before building, checks changes with tests, has a fresh reviewer look for regressions, and saves repeated wins as reusable skills.
Developer tools for working on the React codebase itself. Provides skills for extracting error messages, managing and debugging feature flags across release channels, running Flow type checks, and fixing lint and formatting issues before committing.
A sandboxed execution environment that lets Claude Code run Python code, shell commands and MCP tool calls together. Activate the codeact skill to generate and execute code that acts with Python tools. Install it with the command on its page. It includes codeact. Its skills do not fire on their own yet. Free and open source.
