Test commands or scripts without risking your local setup.
Say to Claude
Try installing a weird NPM package in the sandbox and see if it does anything suspicious When it helps
- ✓You want your AI to actually execute code to verify output, not just write it
- ✓You're doing data analysis and want AI to run pandas/numpy on a sample
- ✓You're building agents that need a safe scratch environment
- ✓You want code to run without polluting your local machine
FAQ
Can Claude use E2B?
Yes. With the E2B MCP connector (an MCP server), Claude can work with E2B directly in your conversation — E2B sandboxed code execution — let AI run Python, JavaScript, and other code safely in isolated cloud environments.
Do I need to code to use E2B with Claude?
No. You install the connector once (a short config or one command), then you just ask Claude in plain English. The example prompts on this page work as-is.
How do I add E2B to Claude?
Open the E2B connector page for copy-paste setup, or follow the per-client guide for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or ChatGPT.
