Description

When using the “cloud sandbox,” it’s a bit unclear how it’s meant to be used.

1. How do I configure the environment?
For example, I may want to install Devbox and then use it to install the tools needed to build and test an application.

2. Where is the agent intended to run?
Is it supposed to run locally on my PC, or inside the cloud sandbox?
Also, where are MCP servers expected to run?
