About e2b-sandbox
e2b-sandbox is a ComputeSDK skill for creating and managing E2B cloud sandboxes, aimed at developers running commands or working with files in isolated Linux environments. It uses ComputeSDK’s shared sandbox API.
Key features
- 01Create and retrieve sandboxes
- 02Run commands in a sandbox
- 03Access sandbox filesystem
- 04Inspect, connect to, and destroy sandboxes
- 05Configure API key and execution timeout
Use cases
- 01Run commands in an isolated Linux environment
- 02Read and write files in a cloud sandbox
Install

Details
From the project READMEE2B Sandboxes with ComputeSDK
E2B provider for ComputeSDK - cloud sandboxes with full Linux environments, filesystem access, and microVM isolation.
Setup
npm install computesdk @computesdk/e2b
Set your credentials:
# .env
E2B_API_KEY=your_e2b_api_key
Quick Start
import { compute } from 'computesdk';
import { e2b } from '@computesdk/e2b';
compute.setConfig({
provider: e2b({
apiKey: process.env.E2B_API_KEY,
}),
});
const sandbox = await compute.sandbox.create();
const result = await sandbox.runCommand('echo "Hello from E2B!"');
console.log(result.stdout);
await sandbox.destroy();
You can also call the provider factory directly:
import { e2b } from '@computesdk/e2b';
const sdk = e2b({
apiKey: process.env.E2B_API_KEY,
});
const sandbox = await sdk.sandbox.create();
E2B Configuration
interface E2BConfig {
/** E2B API key - if not provided, will fallback to E2B_API_KEY environment variable */
apiKey?: string;
/** Execution timeout in milliseconds */
timeout?: number;
}
Full API
ComputeSDK exposes the same universal sandbox API across providers: sandbox.create(), sandbox.getById(), sandbox.destroy(), sandbox.runCommand(), sandbox.getInfo(), sandbox.getUrl(), and sandbox.filesystem.*.
