container-use

# container-use MCP server to add container superpowers to your AI agent ## Installing ```sh go build ./cmd/container-use ``` Make sure to put `container-use` in your `$PATH` ## Agent Integration Enabling `container-use` requires 2 steps: 1. Adding an MCP configuration for `container-use` 2. (Optional) Adding a rule so the agent uses containarized environments. ### Claude Code ```sh # Add the container-use MCP npx @anthropic-ai/claude-code mcp add container-use -- <path to container-use> stdio # Save the CLAUDE.md file at the root of the repository. Alternatively, merge the instructions into your own CLAUDE.md. curl -o CLAUDE.md https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dagger/container-use/main/rules/agent.md ``` ### Goose Add this to `~/.config/goose/config.yaml`: ```yaml extensions: container-use: name: container-use type: stdio enabled: true cmd: container-use args: - stdio envs: [] ``` ### Cursor ```sh curl --create-dirs -o .cursor/rules/container-use.mdc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dagger/container-use/main/rules/cursor.mdc ``` ### VSCode / GitHub Copilot ```sh curl --create-dirs -o .github/copilot-instructions.md https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dagger/container-use/main/rules/agent.md ``` ## Examples | Example | Description | |---------|-------------| | [hello_world.md](examples/hello_world.md) | Creates a simple app and runs it, accessible via localhost HTTP URL | | [history.md](examples/history.md) | Demonstrates container snapshotting by making changes to an app and showing history/diffs of the modifications | | [parallel.md](examples/parallel.md) | Creates and serves two variations of a hello world app (Flask and FastAPI) on different URLs | | [multibuild.md](examples/multibuild.md) | Builds the current project using the 3 most recent Go versions | | [security.md](examples/security.md) | Security scanning example that checks for updates/vulnerabilities in the repository, applies updates, verifies builds still work, and generates patch file | Run with goose: ```console goose run -i ./examples/security.md -s ``` ## Watching your agents work Your agents will automatically commit to a container-use remote on your local filesystem. You can watch the progress of your agents in real time by running: ```console container-use watch ```
