coderunner VS claude-code-tools

Using LM-Studio as the frontend and Playwright-powered MCP tools for browser access. I've had success with one such MCP: https://github.com/instavm/coderunner It has a tool called navigate_and_get_all_visible_text, for example.

Here's a demo of this functionality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mLrGcuDifo

> MCP-Use supports running MCP servers in a sandboxed environment using E2B's cloud infrastructure.

If you want to support a local and privacy friendly sandboxed environment for code execution, you may consider something I have built, Coderunner - https://github.com/instavm/coderunner - it uses Apple's native container for hosting a jupyter server and a headless browser.

It’s a very smart move for DeepSeek to put out an Anthropic-compatible API, similar to Kimi-k2, GLM4.5 (Puzzled as to why Qwen didn’t do this). You can set up a simple function in your .zhsrc to run Claude-Code with these models:

Beyond just running CLI commands, you can have CC interact with those, e.g I built this little tool that gives CC a Tmux-cli command (a convenience wrapper around Tmux) that lets it interact with CLI applications and monitor them etc:

For example this lets CC spawn another CC instance and give it a task (way better than the built-in spawn-and-let-go black box), or interact with CLI scripts that expect user input, or use debuggers like Pdb for token-efficient debugging and code-understanding, etc.

I really wish Qwen3 folks put up an Anthropic-compatible API like the Kimi and GLM/Zai folks cleverly did — this makes their models trivially usable in Claude Code, via this dead-simple setup:

There are some interesting possibilities this enables:

Let CC autonomously test interactive CLI scripts, without me having to intervene and point out errors.

Have the CLI coding agent launch UI from another pane and then use Puppeteer MCP to test from a browser.

Let CC launch a cli script with a debugger enabled (e.g. Pdb) and set breakpoints etc — for token-efficient code understanding, debugging and explaining.

Let the CLI coding agent spawn and drive another instance of the same or other CLI coding agent, AND interact with it. Note this is way better than CC sub-agents which are “spawn and let go” black-boxes.

I wonder if the discussed Tmux alternatives enable building this type of tool.
