Claude Can Now Reach Your Internal Database: MCP Tunnels Launch
Anthropic has released two new security features for its Claude Managed Agents: Self-hosted Sandboxes and MCP Tunnels. Self-hosted Sandboxes, now in public beta, allow agents to execute code and access files within a company's own infrastructure or through four certified providers like Cloudflare and Vercel. MCP Tunnels, currently in research preview, enable agents to securely connect to internal systems via an encrypted outbound connection without requiring inbound firewall rules, addressing a key concern for enterprise adoption in regulated industries.
