Anthropic Brings Agent Execution Inside the Enterprise Firewall

Anthropic introduced MCP tunnels and self-hosted sandboxes to enable organizations to run Claude agents within their own infrastructure and networks—a critical requirement for regulated industries where data residency and network isolation are non-negotiable compliance mandates. These features address a major adoption barrier by allowing enterprises to deploy AI agents without relying on third-party cloud execution, directly enabling financial institutions, healthcare providers, and government agencies to harness AI while maintaining full control over data flow and system access.
