microagent
Last updated: 2026-06-27
microagent boots real Linux microVMs from the OCI images you already use. Use the CLI or Go API to run commands inside them, move files in and out, and manage their lifecycle. microagent handles the kernel, disk, and network plumbing.
Linux and macOS are the supported host targets. On a new machine, start with
microagent doctor so the install can tell you exactly what
the host is missing before you boot a workspace.

- Embed from Go: Start with the library overview, then run microagent from a Go program.
- Connect an agent or MCP client: Launch the stdio endpoint with
microagent serve mcp.
