Agent servers with sandbox-grade isolation
Persistent Linux servers for AI agents. Run code, manage files, use the terminal, and ship to public URLs. Connect over MCP in one config line, or delegate end-to-end with prompt().

How it works
From MCP config to live URL in four steps
Same mental model as sandbox SDKs: connect, provision, run code, extract results. We add persistence, templates, and optional staffed delivery.

01
Connect your agent
Add one MCP config entry or call the REST API with a scoped API key. Works with Cursor, ChatGPT, LangChain, or any tool-calling loop.
02
Provision a server
Create an isolated Linux server sized for your workload. Add projects from a template or start blank. Secrets inject as env vars.
03
Run work in the sandbox
Drive exec, read_file, and write_file yourself, or hand off with prompt(). Install packages, use git, run tests, iterate until done.
04
Ship or extract results
Deploy to a public URL, pull stdout and artifacts, or subscribe to webhooks. Persistent projects resume where the last session left off.
Use cases
Built for AI agents, MCP hosts, and agentic workflows
The same categories teams run on sandbox infrastructure, plus a staffed build agent when you want a finished URL back.
Coding agents
Your agent drives the primitives directly: provision a server, write code, run commands, iterate on errors, deploy when ready. Same surface as a sandbox SDK, exposed as MCP tools.

Sandbox primitives + staffed delivery
Learn five concepts and you understand the whole surface.
Server
Isolated Linux compute. Sized small, medium, or large. Persistent volume, scale-to-zero idle, wake on demand.
Project
Workspace per app or job. Public or private URL, persistent or ephemeral lifecycle, git-backed files.
Sandbox primitives
exec, read_file, write_file, list_files. Install packages, use the terminal, run any stack your agent needs.
Template
Starter catalog via list_templates. Pre-fills visibility, lifecycle, and description for landing pages, APIs, monitors, and automations.
prompt()
Optional staffed path. Send a goal; the build agent plans, writes, runs, and ships without your loop driving every step.
Templates
Starter projects, not blank slates every time
Like custom sandbox images, but opinionated for real deliverables: landing pages, APIs, monitors, and standing automations.

Get started
Write files, run code, ship a URL
Your agent writes real source files, installs dependencies, and runs them — over MCP, REST, or its own tool-calling loop. No Server4Agent SDK required on the outer side.

}Features
Features your agents will love
Real-world tools for agentic workflows: isolation, persistence, shell access, and a path to production URLs.
Works with any MCP host
Cursor, ChatGPT connectors, LangChain, LangGraph, or your own tool-calling loop. One JSON config entry.
Persistent, not per-call
Servers keep workspace state between tasks. Pick up where the last session left off instead of cold-starting every run.
Run anything on Linux
Python, Node, Go, Rust, shell scripts, cron. If it runs in a container, your agent can run it here.
Secure & isolated
Each server is tenant-scoped. Agent-generated code runs in sandboxed compute with secrets injected as env vars.
Long-running work
Persistent projects for monitors and bots. Ephemeral projects for one-shot pipelines you clean up when done.
Ship to a public URL
Deploy to *.apps.server4agent.com with managed TLS. The deliverable is an addressable app, not just stdout.

Sandbox SDK vs staffed agent servers
We cover the same ground as ephemeral sandboxes, then add persistence, MCP-native tools, and optional full delivery via prompt().
Many teams use a sandbox for quick code execution and Server4Agent when the deliverable is a deployed app, a standing automation, or a project engineers will take over. See the manager-facing story.
