 **Container Use** lets each of your coding agents have their own containerized environment. Go from babysitting one agent at a time to enabling multiple agents to work safely and independently with your preferred stack. Check out the [Container Use playlist](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyHqb4A5ee1u5LrsbalfVkBRsrbjDsnN5) to see examples of how others are using it.

+title: Agent Integrations
+description: 'Complete setup guides for all supported coding agents. Configure Container Use with Claude Code, Cursor, VSCode, Goose, and more.'
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Container Use works with any coding agent that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This page provides comprehensive setup guides for all supported agents.
+
+<Note>
+  All agents use the same MCP server command: `cu stdio`
+</Note>
+
+## Claude Code
+
+### Install Claude Code
+```sh
+npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
+```
+
+### Add MCP Configuration
+```sh
+cd /path/to/repository
+claude mcp add container-use -- <full path to cu command> stdio
+```
+
+### Add Agent Rules (Optional)
+Save the CLAUDE.md file at the root of your repository:
+
+```sh
+curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dagger/container-use/main/rules/agent.md >> CLAUDE.md
+```
+
+### Trust Only Container Use Tools (Optional)
+For maximum security, restrict Claude Code to only use Container Use tools:
+
+```sh
+claude --allowedTools mcp__container-use__environment_checkpoint,mcp__container-use__environment_create,mcp__container-use__environment_add_service,mcp__container-use__environment_file_delete,mcp__container-use__environment_file_list,mcp__container-use__environment_file_read,mcp__container-use__environment_file_write,mcp__container-use__environment_open,mcp__container-use__environment_run_cmd,mcp__container-use__environment_update

+
+## Verification
+
+After setting up your agent, verify Container Use is working:
+
+1. **Check MCP Connection**: Your agent should recognize Container Use tools
+2. **Test Environment Creation**: Ask your agent to create a new environment
+3. **Verify Isolation**: Multiple environments should work independently
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+<AccordionGroup>
+  <Accordion title="Agent doesn't recognize Container Use">
+    - Verify the `cu` command is in your PATH: `which cu`
+    - Check MCP configuration syntax
+    - Restart your agent after configuration changes
+  </Accordion>
+  
+  <Accordion title="Permission errors">
+    - Ensure Docker is running and accessible
+    - Check file permissions for configuration files
+    - Verify `cu stdio` command works: `echo '{}' | cu stdio`
+  </Accordion>
+  
+  <Accordion title="Tools not appearing">
+    - Some agents require explicit tool trust/approval
+    - Check your agent's MCP server logs
+    - Verify Container Use tools are enabled in agent settings
+  </Accordion>
+</AccordionGroup>
