Could you build this?
Partial While an MCP server wrapper is easy to write, providing real multi-tenant sandboxed runtime environments, database provisioning, and secure automated secret injection requires complex cloud infrastructure.
What it would actually take: Building Lathe requires an orchestration backend (e.g., Kubernetes, Firecracker microVMs, or Docker Swarm) to provision isolated sandboxes, ephemeral databases, and authentication endpoints on the fly via an MCP protocol server. The difficult engineering lies in multi-tenant resource isolation, security sandboxing against untrusted agent code, and reliable networking orchestration.
