- Comparing AI Orchestration Tools for Multi-Agent Workflows
Choosing the right AI orchestration tool is critical for building reliable multi-agent systems. While frameworks like LangGraph, CrewAI, and AutoGen manage reasoning and execution, developers must plan how agents share files, persist state, and coordinate. This guide compares the top orchestration tools and explains how a shared intelligent workspace completes the architecture.

- How to Configure the Box MCP Server for AI Agents
Setting up the Box Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI agents to securely interact with enterprise content. This guide covers how to authorize the integration through the Box Admin Console, configure OAuth credentials, and connect clients like Claude Code or Cursor without running a local server node. Learn how to combine Box storage with Fastio's collaboration features.

- Building a Sandboxed Code Interpreter Workspace for Cline
Allowing autonomous AI coding agents like Cline to execute commands locally exposes host files and credentials. This guide shows you how to build a secure cline code interpreter workspace using E2B cloud sandboxes and Docker to isolate Python execution, run unverified scripts safely, and persist code outputs in Fast.io workspaces.
