About E2B MCP Server
Connect your AI agent to E2B — the leading sandbox platform for AI code execution, trusted by OpenAI, Anthropic, and thousands of AI companies.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code — it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including E2B tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 3 tools through the Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
What you can do
- Create Sandboxes — Spin up isolated Linux environments in ~150ms. Each sandbox is a Firecracker microVM with its own kernel, filesystem, and network
- List Sandboxes — Monitor all active sandbox environments, their templates, and resource usage
- Kill Sandboxes — Terminate environments when done to release resources and reduce costs
The E2B MCP Server exposes 3 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cline in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Cline with the E2B MCP Server
Cline provides unique advantages when paired with E2B through the Model Context Protocol.
Cline operates autonomously — it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including MCP tool calls without step-by-step prompts
Runs inside VS Code, so you get MCP tool access alongside your existing extensions, terminal, and version control in a single window
Cline can create, edit, and delete files based on MCP tool responses, enabling end-to-end automation from data retrieval to code generation
Transparent execution: every tool call and file change is shown in Cline's activity log for full visibility and approval before committing
E2B + Cline Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Cline combined with the E2B MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Autonomous feature building: tell Cline to fetch data from E2B and scaffold a complete module with types, handlers, and tests
Codebase refactoring: use E2B tools to validate live data while Cline restructures your code to match updated schemas
Automated testing: Cline fetches real responses from E2B and generates snapshot tests or mocks based on actual payloads
Incident response: query E2B for real-time status and let Cline generate hotfix patches based on the findings
E2B MCP Tools for Cline (3)
These 3 tools become available when you connect E2B to Cline via MCP:
create_sandbox
The sandbox is an isolated Linux VM that starts in ~150ms. Use templates like "base" (default), "python3", or "node" for pre-configured environments. Default timeout is 300 seconds. Create a new isolated cloud sandbox for running code securely. Each sandbox is a Firecracker microVM with its own filesystem
kill_sandbox
The sandbox and its filesystem contents are permanently deleted. Terminate a running sandbox by its ID
list_sandboxes
Useful for monitoring active environments and managing resources. List all currently active sandboxes in your E2B account
Example Prompts for E2B in Cline
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Cline agent to start working with E2B immediately.
"Create a Python sandbox so I can run a data analysis script."
"Show me all my running sandboxes."
"Kill sandbox sbx_ghi789 — I'm done with it."
