How to build an AI-powered code quality workflow with SonarQube and E2B — Step 1: Create your first sandbox

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Let's start by creating a sandbox and verifying the MCP servers are configured correctly. Create a file named 01-test-connection.ts in your project root Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```typescript import "dotenv/config"; import { Sandbox } from "e2b"; async function testConnection() { console.log( "Creating E2B sandbox with GitHub and SonarQube MCP servers...\n", ); const sbx = await Sandbox.betaCreate({ envs: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!, GITHUB_TOKEN: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN!, SONARQUBE_TOKEN: process.env.SONARQUBE_TOKEN!, }, mcp: { githubOfficial: { githubPersonalAccessToken: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN!, }, sonarqube: { org: process.env.SONARQUBE_ORG!, token: process.env.SONARQUBE_TOKEN!, url: "https://sonarcloud.io", }, }, }); const mcpUrl = sbx.betaGetMcpUrl(); const mcpToken = await sbx.betaGetMcpToken(); console.log(" Sandbox created successfully!"); console.log(`MCP Gateway URL: ${mcpUrl}\n`); // Wait for MCP initialization await new ``` Run this script to verify your setup Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```bash npx tsx 01-test-connection.ts ``` Create a file named 01_test_connection.py in your project root Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```python import os import asyncio from dotenv import load_dotenv from e2b import AsyncSandbox load_dotenv() async def test_connection(): print("Creating E2B sandbox with GitHub and SonarQube MCP servers...\n") sbx = await AsyncSandbox.beta_create( envs={ "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": os.getenv("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"), "GITHUB_TOKEN": os.getenv("GITHUB_TOKEN"), "SONARQUBE_TOKEN": os.getenv("SONARQUBE_TOKEN"), }, mcp={ "githubOfficial": { "githubPersonalAccessToken": os.getenv("GITHUB_TOKEN"), }, "sonarqube": { "org": os.getenv("SONARQUBE_ORG"), "token": os.getenv("SONARQUBE_TOKEN"), "url": "https://sonarcloud.io", }, }, ) mcp_url = sbx.beta_get_mcp_url() mcp_token = await sbx.beta_get_mcp_token() print(" ``` Run this script to verify your setup … Attribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
