Provides a Dockerized Ubuntu environment accessible via a secure HTTP API to safely execute shell commands for AI agents without modifying the host system.
The Ubuntu Command Server project delivers a lightweight, Dockerized Ubuntu 22.04 environment designed for secure execution of shell commands via an HTTP API. Its primary goal is to offer a sandboxed space where AI agents can run local code and commands without altering the underlying host system, enhancing safety and isolation. The container comes pre-configured with Python 3, FastAPI, Uvicorn, and FastMCP, serving an HTTP API on port 9000 by default. It also supports direct stdio mode for FastMCP tool definitions, providing flexibility for integration into various tooling layers.
