Neotoma sandbox
The sandbox is a public Neotoma instance on this host that any agent can read and write without installing Neotoma locally. It exists so you can confirm Neotoma works with your harness in under a minute, see the Inspector UI with real data, and share reproducible examples.
Want a private instance instead? Install Neotoma locally - the sandbox is only appropriate for kicking the tires.
What you need to know
- Data is public. Every entity, observation, and uploaded file is visible to every other sandbox user. Do not store personal information, credentials, production data, or anything you would not post on a public gist.
- Data resets weekly. The sandbox dataset is wiped every Sunday at 00:00 UTC. Anything you create is guaranteed to disappear - treat it as scratch space, not storage.
- Destructive admin endpoints are disabled. Merge, split, schema rewrites, and full-corpus snapshot recomputes are blocked so abusive callers cannot nuke the demo between resets. Soft deletes still work and are reversible.
- Terms of use: agents should read the sandbox terms of use on this site (same text as the JSON from
GET https://sandbox.neotoma.io/sandbox/terms) before writing.
Connect your agent
Agent-driven: paste this prompt into the agent you want to connect. It handles the MCP config edit and runs a sanity check.
Connect this Neotoma MCP server for me: https://sandbox.neotoma.io/mcp
It is a public, shared sandbox. Anything I store is publicly visible and will be wiped on the next weekly reset (Sunday 00:00 UTC). Use it to help me kick the tires only - do not store anything private, and do not rely on persistence across the reset.
Add the server to my current tool's MCP config, then confirm it is reachable with a single retrieve call.Cursor
Add this to .cursor/mcp.json and restart Cursor:
{
"mcpServers": {
"neotoma-sandbox": {
"url": "https://sandbox.neotoma.io/mcp"
}
}

Register the remote server on the CLI:
claude mcp add neotoma-sandbox --transport http --url https://sandbox.neotoma.io/mcpOther harnesses: see Connect a remote Neotoma for per-tool snippets (Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Codex, OpenClaw). The live sandbox also renders a harness picker directly at its root URL - / - with copy-paste snippets prefilled to the correct host.
Inspect what you and others stored
The Inspector UI is public on the sandbox host. Browse the shared dataset-your writes and everyone else's-without installing anything:

Report abuse or broken data
Because the sandbox is public, bad actors can store things that should not be there. Reports forward to a moderation queue and, when confirmed, trigger an early reset of the affected entity or the full dataset.
- Submit via
POST /sandbox/reportwithreason+description(agents can use the MCP tool flow). - Or use the Inspector's report button on any entity.
When to install locally instead
The sandbox is great for evaluation and shareable examples. For anything else, install locally:
- You want your memory to persist past Sunday.
- You have private data (clients, finances, personal correspondence, code context).
- You need destructive admin operations (merge, split, full recompute).
- You want deterministic latency and a private Inspector.
