Fresh, throwaway Windows machines for testing your apps: an MCP server and CLI that automate Windows Sandbox
Why this job: name: mcp; says: mcp server; topics: mcp-server, mcp
What it does
Not your desktop. Not a container pretending to be Windows. A real, disposable Windows 11 machine: boot it, deploy your app, drive the controls, catch the crash, keep the evidence, delete the PC. Run it directly with sbx; the optional MCP adapter exposes discoverable tools and inline images for clients that want them. Both interfaces use the same engine. The measured GUI samples take roughly 40-50 seconds end to end. See the website.
