Google turns Colab into a cloud sandbox for AI agents
Google just open-sourced the Colab MCP Server, enabling any MCP-compatible AI agent to programmatically control Google Colab notebooks straight from your terminal. Tools like Claude Code or Gemini CLI can now create cells, run Python scripts, and render visualizations live in the cloud. It basically turns Colab into an automated sandbox so agents no longer run risky, resource-heavy code on your local machine.
