> Cloud virtual machines for AI agents from Morph Labs. Instances boot from snapshots and can be paused with memory intact, branched into copies, and driven through a REST API, Python and TypeScript SDKs and a CLI.

Assessment: Pause and snapshot keep memory and running processes, and one call branches an instance into several copies. A public OpenAPI file covers 69 operations. No terms of service, privacy policy or security page was found, the free plan includes no compute credit, and the changelog holds one entry from November 2024.

## Facts

- Kind: HTTP API · vendor: Morph Labs · category: Code execution sandboxes · legal entity: not named · provenance 35/100
- Endpoint: `https://cloud.morph.so/api` (HTTP)
- Auth: API key · pricing: Pay per use · x402: no · licence: Proprietary hosted service with no published terms found. The Python and TypeScript SDKs are Apache-2.0
- Probe metrics: not measured yet (probes haven't run)
- API: REST at https://cloud.morph.so/api, OpenAPI 3.1 version 0.1.0, 52 paths and 69 operations for images, snapshots, instances, organisations, keys, secrets and usage
- Primitives: Images, snapshots, instances and branches. Devboxes are workspaces built on them, with templates, tmux sessions and preview URLs
- Persistence: Pause and snapshot keep memory, processes and disk. Snapshots take a TTL
- Lifetime: Optional `ttl_seconds` with `ttl_action` stop or pause. Wake-on-request for HTTP and SSH
- Plan limits: Free up to 64 vCPU, 256 GB RAM, 1,024 GB storage and 8 concurrent devboxes. Developer 256 vCPU and 32 devboxes. Team 1,024 vCPU and 128 devboxes
- Access to an instance: Exec over REST (with an SSE variant), SSH with managed public keys, SFTP file transfer, exposed HTTP services
- SDKs: Python morphcloud 0.1.115 (1 September 2026, Python 3.10 or later) with the `morphcloud` CLI. TypeScript morphcloud 0.0.20 (6 October 2025, Node.js 20.18.1 or later). Both Apache-2.0
- Status: status.cloud.morph.so on Better Stack, one component, no downtime in the 90 days to 8 October 2026
- Other products on the account: EFS shared filesystems, GitHub Actions runners billed in MCUs, and a Responses Proxy for model routing
- Prices: Morph Compute Unit $0.05 per compute unit; Instance compute $0.05 per vCPU-hour; Developer plan $40 per month (plan); Team plan $250 per month (plan)

- Scores: Reliability 63, Performance pending, Schema & documentation 72, Agent ergonomics 61, Security & auth 39, Payments & pricing 20, Task success pending, Maintenance & community 58, Transparency & trust 25 · total over the 7 assessed categories
- Why: Reliability, Graded on the hosted lines. · Schema & documentation, Public OpenAPI 3.1 file at cloud.morph.so/api/openapi.json with 52 paths and 69 operations (25). · Agent ergonomics, Instance and snapshot objects are bounded, list calls take a limit and a metadata filter, and there is no field selection. · Security & auth, Bearer API keys bound to an organisation, listed with prefix and last-used time and deletable through the API. · Payments & pricing, No x402, MPP or L402 found in the docs or the OpenAPI file (0). · Maintenance & community, morphcloud 0.1.115 on PyPI on 1 September 2026, 37 days before the check (20). · Transparency & trust, The SDKs are Apache-2.0. The platform is closed, and no terms of service were found on morph.so or cloud.morph.so, where the site map lists…

## Before you call it

1. Set `ttl_seconds` and `ttl_action` when starting an instance. Nothing in the docs stops an instance with no TTL from billing MCUs
2. Pass `auth_mode: api_key` when exposing an HTTP service. The default is `none`, which makes the URL public
3. Enable `wake_on_ssh` before calling exec on an instance that may be paused. There is no separate exec wake setting
4. Use `/api/instance/list` and `/api/snapshot/list` with `page` and `limit` (default 50, maximum 1,000). The plain list routes return everything
5. On a 503 from snapshot, branch, pause or reboot, wait for the `Retry-After` value before repeating the call
