### Description (declared)

# CodeBox-AI

A secure Python code execution service that provides a self-hosted alternative to OpenAI's Code Interpreter or Anthropic's Claude analysis tool. Built with FastAPI and IPython kernels, it supports session-based code execution and integrates with LLM function calling. 

It also now supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for seamless integration with LLM applications.

## Features

- Session-based Python code execution in Docker containers
- IPython kernel for rich output support
- Dynamic package installation with security controls
  - Package allowlist/blocklist system
  - Version control for security vulnerabilities
  - Support for pip and conda installations
- State persistence between executions
- Support for plotting and visualization
- Code security validation
  - AST-based code analysis
  - Protection against dangerous imports and operations
  - Support for Jupyter magic commands and shell operations
- Host directory mounting
  - Mount local directories into the container
  - Read-only or read-write access control
  - Security validations to prevent access to sensitive paths

## MCP Server (Model Context Protocol)

CodeBox-AI now supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing LLM applications (like Claude Desktop) to interact with your code execution service in a standardized way.

### Running the MCP Server

You can run the MCP server in several ways:

- **Standalone (for MCP clients or Claude Desktop):**
  ```bash
  uv run mcp dev mcp_server.py
  ```
  This starts the MCP server in development mode for local testing and debugging.

- **Register with Claude Desktop:**
  ```bash
  uv run mcp install mcp_server.py --name "CodeBox-AI"
  ```
  This will make your server available to Claude Desktop as a custom tool.

- **Combined FastAPI + MCP server:**
  ```bash
  uv run run.py
  ```
  This starts both the FastAPI API and the MCP server (MCP available at `/mcp`).

- **MCP server only:**
  ```bash
  uv run run.py --mode mcp
  ```
