hopbox
live at box.hopbox.dev

Hop into
a box.

Instant Linux VMs over plain SSH. No signup, nothing to install — your key is your identity. For humans and AIs.

ssh hello@box.hopbox.dev
one command

SSH to a name. Get a whole machine.

Any name you connect to becomes a Firecracker microVM. Root, isolated, ready in seconds. Leave and it suspends; come back and your files are still there.

~ $ ssh myproject@box.hopbox.dev
# a microVM spins up the moment you connect…
root@myproject:~# uname -a
Linux myproject 6.1.0 #1 SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@myproject:~# whoami
root
# disconnect → it suspends. reconnect → right where you left off.

why hopbox

What you get.

Spawn on connect

SSH to a name, get a VM. Auto-suspends when idle, resumes with your files. scp, sftp and rsync work as-is.

🤖

For humans and AIs

What you drive over SSH, an AI drives over MCP. Hand a task to an agent box: it works in isolation and asks you when unsure.

Nothing to install

SSH is the client. A browser terminal and a live web console are built in — no agent to deploy, nothing to set up.

ai-native

Run a fleet of agents.

Delegate tasks. Each agent gets its own VM, works in parallel, and asks when it needs you. Watch it live in your browser.

Or hand it to an AI

Give a task to an agent box. It works, asks if unsure, returns the result, cleans up.
