How Does it Work?

From OpenAPI Specification to Secure MCP in Production, Instantly

OpenAPI Specification

Start with any standard OpenAPI specification as a starting point.

Generate Sandboxed Component

Automatically generate your componentized MCP server—later, customize your own templates.

Iterate

Just write your business logic—quickly design your components with idiomatic integrations into VS Code.

Deploy Securely on K8s

Deploy on open source, foundation-controlled CNCF wasmCloud—or for a simpler enterprise option, use Cosmonic Control.

Secure
by Default

Containers

Containers rely on broad Linux kernel syscalls and shared host resources, making it harder to achieve true least-privilege isolation and increasing the attack surface.

WebAssembly Components

WebAssembly components enforce capability-based security and fine-grained sandboxing, creating minimal, well-defined execution environments that align with the principle of least privilege and reduce lateral movement risk.

Cosmonic Control

SandboxMCP builds standard WebAssembly Components - Cosmonic make it easy to deploy, scale, and operate them

Run Instantly.
Scale Effortlessly.

Cosmonic Control offers AI teams a production-ready platform for running WebAssembly Components on Kubernetes - including MCP. With tight integration across CI/CD, operations,observability, and network ingress/egress, it ensures scalable, secure, and reliable execution for complex agentic workflows.

Deploy Now on Cosmonic
Cosmonic

Security Built In, Not bolted On

Cosmonic Control applies capability-driven isolation to every WebAssembly component, enforcing least privilege at runtime. You keep your existing Kubernetes guardrails (RBAC, admission, policies) while adding a tighter zero-trust boundary around application code.

Run More with Less: Cost-Efficient Compute

Components cold-start in microseconds and scale to zero, so redundancy doesn’t mean paying for idle pods. Cosmonic manages mulit-tenant CNCF wasmCloud hosts within K8s namespaces, respecting segmentation and policy. You can spread workloads across regions/zones without coupling reliability to always-on resources.

Enterprise-Grade Integrations

Cosmonic integrates deeply into your existing pipelines, operational controls, observability stack, and ingress/egress. Operators and CRDs give you declarative control of clusters, host groups, and workloads directly through kubectl, GitOps, and HPAs.

First Class Observability, Built In

Cosmonic supports OpenTelemetry and exports metrics, logs, and traces for both platform and component layers, giving clean separation and faster anomaly detection.

Containers and Components

Keep containers for what they do best and introduce WebAssembly where security and latency matter most. Cosmonic runs CNCF wasmCloud inside containers so both artifacts share governance, policies, and tooling.

What is Sandbox MCP

Faq Arrow Faq Arrow

Sandbox MCP is a free, open-source plugin for CNCF wasmCloud that generates standards-compliant Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers as secure WebAssembly components. It provides a repeatable way to build MCP tools that are secure by default, portable, composable, and sandboxed—ideal for safely extending LLMs and agentic systems.

Why should I use Sandbox MCP instead of rolling my own MCP server?

Faq Arrow Faq Arrow

“Generate, don’t hand-wire.” Sandbox MCP turns OpenAPI specs into sandboxed MCP servers with capability-driven permissions, virtualized filesystems, and fine-grained I/O controls. You reduce security toil (prompt injection, data exfiltration, lateral movement), avoid spec drift, and gain predictable, repeatable builds you can run anywhere Kubernetes runs. Building an MCP server by hand means dealing with evolving specs, security, and scaling concerns.

Sandbox MCP address security by:

  • Isolating code in capability-driven Wasm sandboxes with capability driven support, virtual FS, fine-grained I/O permissions.
  • Reducing prompt injection & data exfiltration risk by strictly controlling what each component can access.
  • Scaling safely; you can run thousands of components on the same host without cross-talk or lateral movement.

How does Sandbox MCP work?

Faq Arrow Faq Arrow

Start with an OpenAPI specification, generate a componentized MCP server, then iterate on business logic in your IDE. Deploy on CNCF wasmCloud or, for a simpler enterprise path, run on Cosmonic Control. The result is a secure, contract-driven MCP service that’s observable, portable, and easy to operate.

How much does Sandbox MCP cost?

Faq Arrow Faq Arrow

Sandbox MCP itself is free and open source—it is a plugin built on CNCF wasmCloud and open standards. It builds standards compliant WebAssembly Components that are compatible with CNCF wasmCloud and other runtimes.

For production use, Cosmonic offers enterprise-grade hosting, support, and Kubernetes integration so you can move from local dev to fleet-scale deployment with confidence.

What are agentic risks in AI workflows, and why are they different?

Faq Arrow Faq Arrow

Agentic AI workflows face unique risks because LLM inputs and outputs are non-deterministic. This expands the risk surface—prompt injection can redirect intent, tools can be misused, data can be exfiltrated, and lateral movement becomes easier. Sandboxing and least-privilege capabilities are essential because you cannot reliably predict every model behavior ahead of time.

How does Sandbox MCP mitigate agentic security risks?

Faq Arrow Faq Arrow

Sandbox MCP isolates each MCP server as a WebAssembly component with deny-by-default, capability-driven permissions. By virtualizing resources (e.g., filesystems) and scoping network access via existing ingress/egress controls, it limits the blast radius of prompt injection, prevents data exfiltration, and reduces lateral movement—aligning to OWASP Top 10 for LLM and GenAI apps.

What is the best way to securely run MCP in production?

Faq Arrow Faq Arrow

The best way to securely run MCP at scale is to deploy WebAssembly components on Cosmonic Control. Cosmonic Control is a Kubernetes-native WebAssembly control plane that leverages your existing pipelines, security policies, operational controls, ingress/egress, and observability. You keep your Kubernetes guardrails (RBAC, admission, policy) and gain zero-trust, capability-driven isolation for every MCP workload.

How does WebAssembly improve security and density for MCP servers?

Faq Arrow Faq Arrow

WebAssembly components enforce shared-nothing sandboxes with explicit capabilities, dramatically shrinking the attack surface versus general-purpose containers. Components cold-start in microseconds, autoscale to zero, and pack densely—enabling thousands of isolated MCP workloads per host while maintaining strong isolation boundaries.

Can I run Sandbox MCP on Kubernetes, cloud, on-prem, or edge?

Faq Arrow Faq Arrow

Yes. Sandbox MCP runs wherever CNCF wasmCloud runs—including public cloud, on-premises, and edge—across common Kubernetes platforms (EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift, Rancher/K3s, and more). For enterprise teams, Cosmonic Control provides a turnkey path to operate, scale, and observe MCP components on any Kubernetes.

How fast can I get started building an MCP server?

Faq Arrow Faq Arrow

You can generate your first secure MCP component in minutes: install the CLI and plugin, point to your OpenAPI spec, generate the sandboxed server, and run locally. Iterate on business logic in your IDE, then deploy to CNCF wasmCloud or to Cosmonic Control for production on Kubernetes.

How does Sandbox MCP handle observability and authentication?

Faq Arrow Faq Arrow

Sandbox MCP embraces OpenTelemetry for end-to-end traces, metrics, and logs, making MCP servers first-class citizens in your existing dashboards. It supports common authentication patterns—API keys, OAuth 2.0, mutual TLS, and JWT—so you can enforce access control with enterprise-grade confidence.

How much does Sandbox MCP cost, and what support is available?

Faq Arrow Faq Arrow

Sandbox MCP is free and open source. For production operations, Cosmonic offers enterprise-grade hosting, support, and Kubernetes integration via Cosmonic Control—so you can move from local dev to compliant, fleet-scale deployment with confidence and clear SLOs.

Which industries benefit from Sandbox MCP?

Faq Arrow Faq Arrow

Sandbox MCP is industry-agnostic and infrastructure-neutral. Common adopters include financial services (least-privilege data access for LLM agents), AI/ML platforms (safe tool execution), cloud and infrastructure providers (multi-tenant, high-density compute), and media/gaming (predictable, isolated plugin runtimes).
