SDKs

OpenSandbox provides SDKs in five languages covering sandbox lifecycle management, command execution, file operations, and code interpretation.

Sandbox SDKs

The core SDKs for creating and managing sandboxes.

Language	Package	Install
Python	opensandbox	pip install opensandbox
JavaScript/TypeScript	@alibaba-group/opensandbox	npm install @alibaba-group/opensandbox
Kotlin/Java	com.alibaba.opensandbox:sandbox	Gradle/Maven
Go	github.com/alibaba/OpenSandbox/sdks/sandbox/go	go get
C#/.NET	Alibaba.OpenSandbox	dotnet add package

Code Interpreter SDKs

Higher-level SDKs for multi-language code execution inside sandboxes. Built on top of the sandbox SDKs.

Language	Package	Install
Python	opensandbox-code-interpreter	pip install opensandbox-code-interpreter
JavaScript/TypeScript	@alibaba-group/opensandbox-code-interpreter	npm install @alibaba-group/opensandbox-code-interpreter
Kotlin/Java	com.alibaba.opensandbox:code-interpreter	Gradle/Maven
C#/.NET	Alibaba.OpenSandbox.CodeInterpreter	dotnet add package

MCP Server

The MCP server exposes sandbox operations to MCP-capable clients like Claude Code and Cursor.

pip install opensandbox-mcp

Common Patterns

All SDKs follow consistent patterns:

1. Connection — Configure server address, protocol, and API key
2. Sandbox creation — Specify image, entrypoint, timeout, environment, and resource limits
3. Operations — Execute commands, manage files, run code
4. Cleanup — Kill or let sandboxes expire via TTL
