Who offers it

Part of Ways to drive it, which explains why it matters.

Fully: Agent 37, Blaxel, Boat, boxd, Daytona, E2B, InstaBox, Lizard, Modal, Morph, Runtime, Sandboxer, Sprites, Tensorlake and Vercel Sandbox. With a catch: Cloudflare Sandbox.

  • Agent 37Yes

    `npx agent37` builds images, sets up SSH, opens tunnels and manages crons.

    docs-confirmed “The supported path is the Agent37 CLI:” Source

  • BlaxelYes

    The `bl` CLI manages sandboxes, agents, MCP servers and jobs.

    docs-confirmed “Install the Blaxel CLI (bl) to manage sandboxes, agents, MCP servers, jobs, and other resources from your terminal” Source

  • BoatYes

    One installer for macOS, Linux and Windows, then `boat` commands.

    docs-confirmed “Install the boat CLI on macOS, Linux or Windows” Source

  • boxdYes

    The CLI is the primary surface and also ships pre-authenticated inside every machine.

    docs-confirmed “Install the boxd CLI and get your terminal talking to your machines.” Source

  • DaytonaYes

    The CLI covers sandbox create, exec, SSH, snapshots and MCP setup.

    docs-confirmed “Install the Daytona CLI to manage the MCP server.” Source

  • E2BYes

    `@e2b/cli` builds templates and creates sandboxes.

    docs-confirmed “You can install E2B CLI using the following command:” Source

  • InstaBoxYes

    Installed by `npx instabox@latest` or the install script.

    docs-confirmed “It signs you in with a device code, starts a new machine, installs the `instabox` CLI” Source

  • LizardYes

    `lizard` covers sandboxes, deploys, keys and agents.

    docs-confirmed “Alias: `lizard sb`.” Source

  • MorphYes

    Installing the Python package also installs the CLI and the Volumes helpers.

    docs-confirmed “Once installed, the CLI and the first-party Volumes helpers are automatically available in your environment:” Source

  • RuntimeYes

    `npx withruntime` runs every product and saves a browser-approved connection.

    docs-confirmed “The CLI runs every Runtime Cloud product from a terminal or a script.” Source

  • SandboxerYes

    One static binary for Linux, macOS and Windows.

    docs-confirmed “`sbx` is one static binary for Linux, macOS and Windows.” Source

  • SpritesYes

    The `sprite` CLI covers create, exec, console, checkpoint, restore and proxy.

    docs-confirmed “sprite create - Create a new sprite” Source

  • TensorlakeYes

    `tl` manages sandboxes, projects and contexts.

    docs-confirmed “This installs the `tl` CLI, which you can use to manage sandboxes and other resources from the command line.” Source

  • Vercel SandboxYes

    `sandbox` (alias `sbx`) creates sandboxes and connects to them.

    docs-confirmed “Use the Sandbox CLI to run coding agents, manage sandboxes, execute commands, and copy files from your terminal.” Source

  • Cloudflare SandboxWith a catch

    The catch: The only command-line tool is Wrangler, which deploys the Worker and can open a shell; it does not create or manage sandboxes.

    Wrangler covers deploy, tail, instances and SSH, but sandbox lifecycle lives in Worker code.

    docs-confirmed “`wrangler containers ssh <INSTANCE_ID>`” Source
