Manage ephemeral development environments and sandboxes via Daytona — create, start, stop, and resize workspaces directly from your AI agent.

28 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Connect your Daytona account to any AI agent to orchestrate cloud-based development environments through natural language. Daytona provides standardized, ephemeral sandboxes that can be provisioned and managed on demand.

What you can do

  • Sandbox Orchestration — List, create, start, stop, and delete sandboxes with specific CPU, memory, and disk configurations.
  • Snapshot Management — Create and manage snapshots to preserve environment states or activate them for new sandboxes using create_snapshot and activate_snapshot.
  • API Key Control — Manage your authentication keys directly, including listing and creating new access tokens via list_api_keys and create_api_key.
  • Resource Scaling — Dynamically resize sandbox resources (vCPU, RAM, Disk) to match your workload requirements using resize_sandbox.
  • Volume & Storage — Inspect and manage persistent volumes and snapshots for your dev environments.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Daytona API Key
  3. Start managing your dev infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client

Who is this for?

  • DevOps Engineers — Automate the lifecycle of test environments and sandboxes.
  • Software Developers — Spin up fresh coding environments without leaving the chat or IDE.
  • QA Teams — Quickly recover sandboxes from error states or fork existing environments for debugging.
