# Maritime Documentation

Maritime gives your agents every computer they need. One account and one API key start sandboxes, Linux and Windows desktops and Android phones on demand, billed per second on one invoice. Drive all of it from the dashboard, the [CLI](/content/docs/cli/index.html), the [API](/content/docs/api/index.html), the [SDK](/content/docs/sdk/index.html) or MCP.

- Agent boxes
- Sandboxes and swarms
- Computers on demand

One account and key; three families of machines; agents, add-ons, end users, activity and one bill around them.
