ShellPod

< 1 min

Sign up. Click Open Terminal. Start coding. The server is already hardened.

Everything included. Nothing stripped.

Real Claude Code on a real Linux server. Not a wrapper. Not an emulator.

Key differentiator♾️

Persistent environment

Your packages, configs, repos, and .claude/ memory survive forever. Nothing to reinstall.

Key differentiator🔌

MCP servers included

context7 and more, ready out of the box. Claude Code Web doesn't support MCP.

🌿

Git worktrees

3 Claude Code agents on the same repo. Different branches, different tasks, at the same time.

Key differentiator🌐

Any git provider

Works with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and any git remote. Add your SSH key from the dashboard and clone private repos.

🧠

CLAUDE.md memory

Project context persists across sessions. Edit from the dashboard or the terminal.

💻

VS Code & SSH

Remote Tunnels or SSH. Claude in the terminal, your code in your IDE.

🔒

Hardened & isolated

LXC container, cgroup limits, UFW, fail2ban. Your code is sandboxed from everything.

🔑

Your Anthropic account

You authenticate directly with Anthropic. We never see your key. Your rate limits are yours.

Your code stays yours.

We built ShellPod for ourselves first. Security isn't a feature — it's the foundation.

Isolated container

Your own LXC sandbox. Other tenants can't see your files, processes, or network traffic.

We never see your credentials

Claude Code authenticates directly with Anthropic. Your API key never touches our servers.

You control everything

Export your code anytime. Git push and go. No lock-in, no questions.

LXC isolation · cgroup resource limits · UFW firewall · fail2ban · encrypted connections
