# mcpbox stop

> Stop MCP Box

Stops a running MCP Box and releases its runtime; its API Box keeps running, and its token stays for the next start. It returns at once with status stopping; get the MCP Box until it is stopped. A stopped MCP Box is returned unchanged; a starting one returns 409 mcpbox\_starting.

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

## Examples

Replace `<id>` with the resource ID from your response before you run the command.

```bash theme={null}
continuous mcpbox stop --id <id>
```

## Flags

**--id, -i** `string` *required*

MCP Box ID.

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