Comparisons

SCC CLI takes a specific approach to running Claude Code: Docker-based sandboxing with centralized team governance. This section compares that approach to other common setups.

SCC is purpose-built for running Claude Code in teams. It combines:

CapabilityWhat SCC Provides
Docker IsolationEvery session runs in a container—AI cannot access host files outside mounted paths
Team ProfilesOrg admins define plugins, MCP servers, and policies; developers run scc setup once
Git WorktreesCreate isolated branches for each AI task without polluting main
Safety NetBlock destructive git commands like push --force and reset --hard
Plugin GovernanceApprove or block plugins at the org level; teams cannot override security blocks
