A Model Context Protocol server for the resQ emergency response system that integrates with digital twin simulations and coordination engines. It allows users to trigger simulations, generate deployment strategies, and monitor real-time drone status for incident response analysis.

A virtual Linux desktop as an MCP server, shipped in Docker. Agents drive screen, mouse, keyboard across any GUI — browsers, IDEs, office suites, Wine/Windows apps, legacy software — many in parallel.

Enables headless control of a DOSBox-X guest, including memory reading and patching, framebuffer capture, input injection, and live code tracing without interfering with the host desktop.

Provides secure access to containerized build environments for software projects, enabling AI assistants to execute builds, run tests, manage git operations, and inspect build artifacts without requiring local installation of dependencies.

Enables MCP agents to automate real GUI applications on headless desktops, providing background mouse/keyboard control, window/process management, screenshots, and safe human handoff without disturbing the user's desktop.

Enables AI coding agents to work inside a disposable Windows guest desktop, where they can run shell commands, launch applications, inspect and operate native GUI controls, perform browser DOM actions, and transfer files. Fresh observations, PNG screenshots, and hashed artifacts let agents verify results without touching the host desktop.

MCP server that discovers Korean e-Government and financial websites and launches them in a clean disposable Windows Sandbox (or macOS macSandbox) without requiring security software installation. It handles search and sandbox execution, leaving authentication and actual tasks to the user.

Enables AI coding agents to perform automated Blender UI testing, user-story validation, and computer-use workflows inside an isolated GPU-partitioned Windows 11 VM without disrupting the host desktop.

This MCP provides comprehensive tools and resources for MSX software development, testing, and automation through openMSX emulator.

Enables AI agents to control RoboDK robotics simulation software, allowing them to manage stations, add robots, and inspect station hierarchies through natural language commands.

Enables an AI agent to view and control VMware vSphere VM consoles—screen, mouse, and keyboard—through vCenter, without installing anything in the guest.

Connects Claude Desktop to any Kubernetes cluster, enabling natural language queries for diagnostics and operations such as listing pods, viewing logs, scaling deployments, and more.

Universal Docker MCP server for AI assistants (Cursor, Claude Desktop). Manage Docker containers, execute commands, query databases, and handle environment configurations — all through natural language.

Enables AI agents to run untrusted, model-generated Python code in a locked-down throwaway Docker container with enforced isolation and resource limits. Supports starting, checking, and stopping asynchronous runs while returning structured status reports without exposing the host, network, or Docker controls.

Enables coding agents to deploy and manage game server containers on Edgegap, from creation through player connection, without manual API reference.

An MCP server that lets AI agents run PHP unit and integration tests inside Docker containers without local PHP or Composer.

Enables control of GNS3 network lab automation, including projects, nodes, consoles, and SSH, through Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible client.

Enables AI agents to boot and drive headless QEMU virtual machines by sending keystrokes, capturing screenshots, and reading or writing the serial console without SSH or a guest agent.

A read-only MCP server that lets Claude query a VMware vCenter environment through the vSphere REST API, listing virtual machines, ESXi hosts, clusters, datastores, networks, datacenters, resource pools, and folders. It issues only GET requests and can run over stdio or authenticated Streamable HTTP, so inventory questions can be answered without any risk of changing the environment.

Provides a local, isolated Linux VM sandbox for AI agents using Apple's Virtualization.framework, enabling fast command execution (~60ms) and package management without cloud costs.

Enables AI assistants to run shell commands, read, write, edit, search, and stream files on remote SSH servers and Docker containers, including nested multi-layer chains, without installing any runtime on the target hosts. It auto-injects a self-contained Go helper with adaptive zstd compression for fast transfers and process control.

Enables MCP-compatible clients like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, and local-model hosts to inspect Proxmox VE clusters, nodes, VMs, containers, storage, snapshots, and tasks, with opt-in write operations for starting, stopping, cloning, backing up, and migrating guests. Read-only by default, it supports both stdio and Streamable HTTP transports.

Read-only MCP server for one Docker host: list containers, inspect (without env vars), logs with time windows and search, stats and events. Cannot start, stop, remove or exec.

Enables managing Docker containers (run, list, stop, remove, view logs) through Claude Desktop using natural language commands.

Enables an AI agent to boot and control an Android emulator — tapping, typing, scrolling, inspecting screens, reading logs and installing APKs — and to record those interactions as replayable, CI-ready test flows. Actions are captured by element text or id rather than coordinates, so the saved tests survive layout changes and rerun without the agent.

A read-only MCP server that provides visibility into Parallels Remote Application Server infrastructure, policies, and sessions through the RAS REST API. It enables AI assistants to query site settings, published applications, and license status without performing any modifications.

A Model Context Protocol server that enables AI assistants to create, control, and interact with virtual desktop environments through E2B's secure cloud sandboxes.

Provides secure, disposable, resource-bounded container sandboxes that let AI agents create and inspect files, run shell commands with timeouts, and perform Git operations without exposing the host environment.

Provides a persistent Docker computer with terminal, file editing, and optional desktop GUI control through a Three.js interface.

MCP server for controlling VMware Fusion/Workstation virtual machines via vmrun CLI, providing 32 tools for VM lifecycle, guest execution, and file operations without requiring a REST API daemon.

Manage your VPSnet cloud: KVM and Firecracker VPS, applications, Functions, software-defined networks, DNS, domains and TLS certificates. You choose the permissions and which servers the connection can access.

An MCP server that enables managing Parallels Desktop virtual machines, including listing, starting, stopping, suspending, and executing commands inside VMs.

Give Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI agents safe access to your real infrastructure — without giving them raw SSH access.

Enables MCP-capable agents to control a real QEMU virtual machine through nine computer-use tools—screenshot, click, move, type, key, scroll, status, start, and stop—without accessing the host’s pointer, clipboard, or files.

An MCP server that provides AI agents with a full Ubuntu desktop environment inside Docker, enabling them to perform complex computer tasks like browsing, coding, testing, and GUI automation.

Enables conversational management of Naver Cloud Platform infrastructure through Claude Desktop, allowing users to create, query, and manage cloud resources like servers, VPCs, load balancers, and databases using natural language.
