Its official README presents it as a CLI, SDK, and MCP-oriented system for Android, Linux desktop, browser, and local or cloud device automation. ### Project history The public GitHub repository was created in March 2025 under the babelcloud organization. The project documentation and README describe the package around AI-agent workflows rather than as a general-purpose mobile automation framework: the CLI installs local dependencies, logs in to gbox.ai, connects Android devices, and exports MCP configuration for agent tools. ### Adoption history GBOX appeared as a Homebrew formula for macOS users and as an npm-distributed CLI for Linux and Windows users according to its installation instructions. The official release feed shows rapid 0.1.x releases through late 2025 and early 2026, consistent with a young project still iterating on agent-environment integration. ### How it is used Typical package usage starts with installing the CLI, running setup, logging in, connecting an Android device or cloud environment, and exporting an MCP server configuration for tools such as Claude Code or Cursor. The README also documents browser, desktop, SDK, and Android-device scenarios. ### Why package nerds care For package maintainers, GBOX is notable as an example of the new wave of AI-agent tools that package not just a command but an operational environment: Go and Node build tooling, Android Debug Bridge, Appium-related dependencies, FRP client support, MCP server export, and cloud service login all meet at one CLI entry point. ### Timeline - 2025: Public GitHub repository created. - 2025: CLI installation documented through Homebrew on macOS and npm on Linux/Windows. - 2026: v0.1.20 published in the official GitHub releases. ### Related projects - The README connects GBOX to MCP clients such as Claude Code and Cursor, Android tooling such as ADB and Appium, and the @gbox.ai/cli and @gbox.ai/mcp-server npm packages. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** gbox - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Related links - [MCP tool packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/mcp-tools/) - Mentions MCP or Model Context Protocol. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [frpc](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/frpc/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [nanobot](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/nanobot/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai-agents, cli, developer-tools, mcp. - [ralph-orchestrator](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ralph-orchestrator/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai-agents, cli, developer-tools, mcp. - [aoe](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aoe/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai-agents, cli, developer-tools. - [kagent](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/kagent/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai-agents, cli, developer-tools. - [oh-my-agent](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/oh-my-agent/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai-agents, cli, developer-tools. - [omnara](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/omnara/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai-agents, cli, developer-tools. - [agent-browser](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/agent-browser/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai-agents, browser-automation, cli, developer-tools. - [chrome-devtools-mcp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/chrome-devtools-mcp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: browser-automation, cli, developer-tools, mcp. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
