Coop – Isolated VM Environments for Running Claude Code and Codex
Coop is a new Rust-based CLI tool that manages isolated, disposable virtual machines for running AI coding agents like Claude Code. It provides a secure environment for agents to access system tools without risking the host machine.
Why it matters
Security is a major concern when granting AI agents access to local development environments; this tool offers a sandboxed solution.
Isolated VM environments for running Claude Code and Codex.
Pronunciation: "coop" (/kuːp/) — one syllable, rhymes with "loop", like the thing you keep chickens in. Not "co-op".
coop is a Rust CLI that manages disposable virtual machines where Claude Code and Codex have full tool access: Docker, git, compilers, package managers, all without risk to your host machine. Each VM is isolated, reproducible, and cheap to create and destroy.
