What is the Daytona (Dev Workspaces) MCP Server?
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_snapshotandactivate_snapshot. - API Key Control — Manage your authentication keys directly, including listing and creating new access tokens via
list_api_keysandcreate_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
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Daytona API Key
- 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.
