Technical Documentation & Integration

Runtime & Architecture E2B uses Firecracker microVMs as its sandbox primitive. Each sandbox is a fully isolated VM that boots from a snapshot, achieving container-speed startup while maintaining hardware-level isolation. The runtime is open source under the Apache-2.0 license and is self-hostable.

API & SDK Access E2B exposes a full API for sandbox lifecycle management — create, pause, resume, snapshot, fork, and terminate. This enables agent orchestration frameworks to programmatically control compute environments at any stage of an agent's execution.

Supported Integrations

  • Agent frameworks & tools: OpenAI Agents SDK, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Devin, Manus
  • Model providers: OpenAI, Anthropic (and open-weight models)
  • Tool protocols: MCP with 200+ supported servers
  • Infrastructure: AWS, GCP, Azure (via BYOC), Firecracker

Deployment Options

  • Managed cloud (E2B-hosted)
  • BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) on AWS, GCP, or Azure — available on the Enterprise tier

Compliance SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliant — suitable for regulated industries and enterprise security requirements.

Open Source The runtime is available on GitHub with 14,503+ stars. Apache-2.0 licensed, meaning it can be freely used, modified, and self-hosted.
