Sandboxes

Daytona provides full composable computers — sandboxes — for AI agents. Sandboxes are isolated runtime environments you can manage programmatically to run code.

Snapshots

Persistent, point-in-time captures of sandbox state, including the filesystem, installed packages, dependencies, and settings.

Declarative Builder

Powerful, code-first approach to define dependencies for Daytona sandboxes.

Volumes

FUSE-based mounts that provide shared file access across Daytona sandboxes.

Mount External Storage

Mount object storage, cloud storage and filesystems into a Daytona sandbox as a regular directory.

Agent Tools

Daytona provides programmatic tools for AI agents working inside a sandbox. Agents use them to operate the file system, run Git operations, execute code, manage terminal sessions, and control desktop environments.

File System

Interact with the file system in your sandboxes.

Language Server Protocol

Use Language Server Protocol (LSP) support in your sandboxes.

Computer Use

Enable programmatic control of desktop environments within Daytona sandboxes.

Git Operations

Manage Git repositories in your sandboxes.

Pseudo Terminal

Manage PTY sessions in your sandboxes.

MCP Server

Set up and use the MCP server with various AI agents.

Human Tools

Daytona provides direct access to running sandboxes for humans. Use the web terminal, SSH, VNC, and preview URLs to review, control, or assist an agent session.

SSH Access

SSH access to Daytona sandboxes.

Web Terminal

Web Terminal access to Daytona sandboxes.

VNC Access

Open a remote desktop session into a sandbox.

Preview

Preview URLs and authentication tokens.

VPN Connections

Connect Daytona sandboxes to VPN networks.

Playground

Experiment with Daytona workflows before wiring them into production.

System Tools

Daytona provides platform-level controls for your organization. Receive real-time event notifications through webhooks and enforce network egress limits on sandboxes.

Webhooks

Receive real-time notifications when events occur in your Daytona organization.

Network Limits
