MCP for sandboxed, reproducible envs for agentic-first coding workflows (github.com)

Something like this just seems so obvious. Of course, an agent should be able to act on a remote machine. In theory, this is simple: just give it another set of tools that acts somewhere else.

In theory, it should be possible (trivial, even) to simultaneously connect multiple folders to a single session (as to mirror a more complex workspace). However, I haven't really seen any coding agent that can connect to multiple environments yet.

As far as I'm informed the complexity doing this is a little bit higher than just giving it read and write tools, if I understand correctly, modern harnesses are a little bit more optimized per model (diff formats, see "apply patch").
