ipybox MCP
ipybox provides a unified execution environment that combines Python code, shell commands, and programmatic MCP tool calls within a stateful IPython kernel. It supports application-level approval for tool calls and shell commands, optional OS-level sandboxing via sandbox-runtime, and generates Python APIs for MCP server tools. It runs locally without cloud dependencies.
