Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http boxcompute 'https://mcp.boxcompute.ai/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Optional. Bearer followed by a BoxCompute API key (bc_live_…), from API keys at app.boxcompute.ai. Leave it out to sign in with OAuth instead.>'

Frequently asked questions
What is BoxCompute?
Linux VMs for AI agents: create VMs, run commands, edit files and open preview URLs.
How do I install BoxCompute?
It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http boxcompute 'https://mcp.boxcompute.ai/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Optional. Bearer followed by a BoxCompute API key (bc_live_…), from API keys at app.boxcompute.ai. Leave it out to sign in with OAuth instead.>'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does BoxCompute need an API key?
Yes. It expects Authorization, which you set in its configuration.
Who maintains BoxCompute?
It is published by ai.boxcompute. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
