Boxes.dev: ditch localhost; run Claude Code and Codex in the cloud
Fork-based VM isolation for parallel AI agents beats fighting over localhost resources.
Fork-based VM isolation for parallel AI agents beats fighting over localhost resources.
MicroVM sandboxes keep agents off your host, auth gateway hides API keys from model.
The plugin-proxy split is smart: credentials live in a backend (Keychain/1Password/Vault/etc.) and a separate proxy injects auth headers over a UDS so the agent process never handles raw keys. It autosurveys plugin configs and channels to migrate plaintext secrets and even ships a Docker image and CLI for local setups — very practical for anyone already on OpenClaw, though it’s narrowly focused and adds an extra trusted component that deserves an audit.
Zero-token proxy keeps API keys off the agent—something container-based sandboxes can't do.
AI agents get credentials without ever seeing them—SQL prepared statements for secrets.
In-process agent loop eliminates CLI overhead, but relies on leaked proprietary source maps.
