# Modal MCP Toolbox 🛠️
[](https://smithery.ai/server/@philipp-eisen/modal-mcp-toolbox)
A collection of Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools that run on Modal.
This let's you extend the capabilities of your LLM in tools such as [Goose](https://block.github.io/goose/) or the [Claude Desktop App](https://claude.ai/download).
## Tools
- `run_python_code_in_sandbox`: Let's you run python code in a sandboxed environment.
- `generate_flux_image`: Generate an image using the FLUX model.
## Demo
### Flux Image Generation

### Python Code Execution

## Prerequisites
- A [modal account](https://modal.com/signup) and a configured modal CLI.
- [UV](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv?tab=readme-ov-file#installation)
- A client that supports MCP. Such as the [Claude Desktop App](https://claude.ai/download) or [Goose](https://block.github.io/goose/)
This runs against your modal account, so you will need to have a modal account and be logged in.
## Installation
Installation depends on the client that uses the MCP. Here is instructions for Claude and Goose.
### Claude
Got to `Settings > Developer` in the Claude Desktop App. And click on Edit Config.

Add the config for the mcp server. My config looks like this:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"modal-toolbox": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["modal-mcp-toolbox"]
}
}
}
```
### Goose
Go to `Settings` and Click on Add.

Then add an extension like in the screenshot below.
The important part is to set command to:
```
uvx modal-mcp-toolbox
```
The rest you can fill in as you like.
