See the state
Read exact lifecycle and job stages, capture the framebuffer, wait for visible text, inspect serial output, or discover the guest IP.
For developers, AI builders, QA, and technical teams
Give your coding agent a real computer.
Connect a compatible MCP client to a macOS, Linux, or Windows virtual machine. The agent can create and provision the guest, then keep driving real work inside it—build, run, inspect, debug, test, and recover—while your Mac remains the place you direct the work.
The agent workspace
From prompt to isolated execution environment.
Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Codex, or another compatible MCP clientYour preferred agent expresses intent through structured calls.
SlateVM MCPA stateless local adapter reaches the app-owned control plane.
Disposable macOS, Linux, or Windows machineThe VM provides its own operating system, disks, network, console, and tools.

Post-install operation
The agent can keep driving the machine after setup.
SlateVM’s control surface remains available throughout the VM’s working life. Across every supported guest platform, an agent can observe the console, send input, manage lifecycle state, inspect diagnostics, and discover networking; where SSH is provisioned, it can also execute bounded commands and collect structured results.
Act inside the VM
Send keyboard, pointer, scrolling, and text input; provision a dedicated SSH identity; or run bounded commands with structured output.
Verify and recover
Re-read console state, inspect logs and diagnostics, adjust supported hardware or networking, retry from evidence, and preserve or remove the environment.
Built for modern development work
AI coding agents
Give an agent a purpose-built machine for dependencies, builds, tests, services, and debugging instead of broad access to the host Mac.
Development environments
Separate dependencies and toolchains from the host, keep disposable Linux services nearby, and maintain clean macOS or Windows targets for cross-platform builds.
Compatibility and release testing
Validate installers, first-run flows, networking, guest tools, display behavior, and application updates against controlled guest configurations.
Support reproduction
Recreate customer environments with named CPU, memory, disk, media, and network settings. Capture diagnostics and console state before changing the guest.
A complete, observable lifecycle
- Discover. Inspect host capability and available installation images.
- Create. Define guest platform, CPU, memory, storage, media, account, and networking inputs.
- Provision. Follow stage-aware jobs through restore, installation, unattended setup, and boot.
- Operate. Observe the screen or serial console, send input, discover networking, and work through SSH.
- Diagnose. Read structured state, logs, diagnostics, and console output before choosing the next action.
- Hand off or clean up. Leave the VM running for a person, retain its bundle for repeat work, or remove it through SlateVM’s coordinated lifecycle.
