# mcpbox start

> Start MCP Box

Starts a stopped MCP Box in front of its API Box, and returns at once with status starting; get the MCP Box until it is running. Its token stays the same; its get returns it. A running, starting or stopping MCP Box returns 409 mcpbox\_not\_stopped, and one whose API Box was deleted 409 mcpbox\_apibox\_gone.

```bash theme={null}
continuous mcpbox start [flags]
```

Global flags apply to every command. See [Global flags](https://docs.continuouslabs.ai/cli/global-flags.md).
