Anthropic Adds Self-Hosted Sandboxes and MCP Tunnels to Claude Managed Agents
Anthropic
Anthropic added two capabilities to Claude Managed Agents: self-hosted sandboxes (public beta) enabling tool execution within customer-controlled infrastructure via partners including Cloudflare, Daytona, Modal, and Vercel; and MCP Tunnels (research preview) letting agents reach private MCP servers through a single encrypted outbound connection without exposing them to the internet.
Why it matters
Enables enterprise adoption of Claude agents in regulated environments by keeping sensitive data on-premises while orchestration stays in Anthropic's cloud
