Run LocalStack in Even

Even Stacks launches LocalStack as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find LocalStack in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 4566, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://localstack.localhost.

Drive LocalStack with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate LocalStack directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can run commands inside the container, build against the service, and read its logs to debug. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up LocalStack and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: Use the AWS CLI with --endpoint-url=http://localhost:4566 (or the awslocal wrapper) to manage emulated services like S3, SQS, and Lambda. Data lives in the /var/lib/localstack volume; set the PERSISTENCE=1 environment variable to retain state across container restarts.
