Show HN: Superserve – Firecracker microVM sandboxes for long-running AI agents

Superserve, a new compute layer for AI agents, launches with Firecracker microVM sandboxes that eliminate session time limits. The platform allows users to snapshot, fork, and resume running VMs, with each agent isolated in its own VM, a credentials broker for API key security, and locked egress. Superserve supports bring-your-own-agent, offers TypeScript and Python SDKs, MCP support, and is open-source and self-hostable.

Hey HN, I built Superserve, a compute layer that lets AI agents live inside isolated Firecracker microVMs with no session time limits.

The problem I kept running into: most sandbox providers kill your agent after 24 hours. If you're running something autonomous that needs to work for days — refactoring a codebase, running tests in a loop — you're constantly fighting timeouts and rebuilding state.

Superserve lets you snapshot a running VM at any point, fork it into parallel branches, and resume exactly where you left off. Each agent gets its own VM, no shared kernels. There's also a credentials broker so agents never touch raw API keys directly, and egress is locked to URLs you specify.

You bring your own agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.). We handle the durable compute underneath. TypeScript and Python SDKs, MCP support, open-source and self-hostable.

Would love to hear feedback, especially from anyone building long-running agents.
