Get a real Linux server in the cloud with full SSH/SCP access in seconds — root Ubuntu (default 4 vCPU / 8 GB / 51 GB disk), public IPv6 and outbound IPv4, Docker and every major toolchain preinstalled. $0.036/h billed per second, from a $20/mo plan. Use when the user needs a remote Linux server to SSH into, run services on, or use as a dev machine.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Linux server over SSH (Box) Use this when the task needs an actual **Linux server** the user can `ssh`/`scp` into: hosting a service, running a daemon, or a remote workstation. ## Why Box - **First-class SSH** — `box ssh <id>` opens a session; the CLI handles keys. SCP works too. SSH works over IPv4 also on boxes without their own IPv4. - **Addressable host** — public IPv6 per box, raw TCP/UDP ports through the firewall. The IP changes at each resume; there is no static or dedicated IPv4. - **Root Ubuntu** — `apt install` anything; Docker preinstalled. - **Low per-hour price, persistent** — $0.036/h for 4 vCPU / 8 GB vs $0.331/h (E2B) and $0.476/h (Modal) at list price, for servers that run full hours; resumes from snapshot. ## Prereqs `curl -fsSL https://box.ascii.dev/install | sh`, then `box login "$BOX_API_KEY" --json`. ## Recipe ```bash box_id="$(box new --json | jq -r 'select(.event == "ready") | .id')" box ssh "$box_id" # interactive shell box ssh "$box_id" -- "sudo apt-get install -y nginx && sudo systemctl enable --now nginx" box info "$box_id" --json # shows the IP ``` ## Honest limits …

How to install
mdr add ariana-dot-dev/cloud-sandbox-vm-skills/linux-server-ssh@sha256:0cf72f7048d8127cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261109.2f1d005, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
