Anthropic's new MCP tunnels and sandboxes directly address AI agent infrastructure security, highly relevant to agent orchestration.
Summary
Anthropic's Claude Managed Agents now offer public beta self-hosted sandboxes and research preview MCP tunnels, shifting tool execution to customer infrastructure via partners like Daytona while retaining the agent loop on Anthropic's side. MCP tunnels provide a single outbound gateway to private MCP servers, managed through Claude Console, without breaking existing integrations. Clay's Sculptor agent uses this to combine local agent power with cloud reliability and filesystem control.
