About MorphBox
MorphBox provides a secure, containerized development environment with Claude AI integration. It empowers developers to experiment with AI-assisted development tools, run autonomous coding sessions via the Prompt Queue, and work from any location through its web-based interface.
Why MorphBox?
Built for the community to explore AI-assisted coding in isolated environments with autonomous prompt processing capabilities. MorphBox runs entirely in Docker containers, protecting your host system while enabling experimentation with Claude AI development tools.
Key Benefits
- Complete Isolation: Run code safely in Docker containers without affecting your host system
- Claude AI Integration: Built-in Claude Code terminal for intelligent coding assistance
- Web-Based Interface: Access from any browser with responsive mobile support
- Custom Panels: Create AI-generated panels and share them as .morph files
- Session Persistence: Claude and Terminal panels reconnect to existing sessions on refresh (30-minute timeout)
- Dynamic Port Forwarding (NEW in v1.0.0): Auto-forwards dev server ports (5173-5179) with smart conflict resolution
- Persistent Workspace: Your files and data persist between restarts
