Pibox MCP Server

pi-coding-agent inside an aicodebox container. One image, several ways in: interactive shell, one-shot prompt, HTTP API (with an OpenAI-compatible endpoint), MCP server, Telegram bot, and a cron scheduler that fires pi on whatever schedule you want.

People who need coding agent tools inside Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Shell.
