Give AI Assistants Real Capabilities

MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets AI assistants use tools and execute actions. But running tools safely requires proper isolation:

  • Running MCP tools on your machine exposes your system
  • AI-generated code could access sensitive files
  • No easy way to sandbox MCP servers
  • Resource limits hard to enforce locally

Hopx MCP Server

  • Code executes in isolated cloud sandboxes, not your machine
  • Pre-built MCP server with code execution tools
  • Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and more
  • 5-minute setup — just configure and go

Works With Your Favorite Tools

The Hopx MCP server integrates with any client that supports the Model Context Protocol.

Why Hopx for MCP

Per-Server Isolation

Each MCP server runs in its own micro-VM. Complete network and filesystem isolation between tools.

~100ms Startup

MCP servers start almost instantly. No cold start delays when your AI assistant needs a tool.

Safe Port Exposure

Expose ports securely for tool endpoints. Control exactly what's accessible from outside the sandbox.

Controlled Permissions

Define what each MCP server can access — network, filesystem, external APIs. Principle of least privilege.

Set Up in 5 Minutes

Install the Hopx MCP server, add your API key, and your AI assistant can execute code safely in cloud sandboxes.

Pre-built Server

No need to build your own MCP server — we've done it

Secure by Default

All code runs in isolated sandboxes, not on your machine

Instant Execution

~100ms sandbox startup — no waiting for your AI
