- #open-source
- Container Use allows each coding agent to have its own containerized environment, enabling multiple agents to work independently.
- Features include isolated environments, real-time visibility, direct intervention, environment control, and universal compatibility.
- The project is open-source, MCP-compatible, and works with CLI tools like Claude Code and Cursor.
- Early development stage noted with potential rough edges but promises rapid iteration.
- Installation involves building and optionally installing the 'cu' binary into the $PATH.
- Setup requires adding MCP configuration for container-use and optional rules for containerized environments.
- Examples provided include creating simple apps, running parallel services, and security scanning.
- Agents' progress can be monitored in real-time using 'cu watch'.
