Endpoint

Local process; no hosted endpoint documented

Authentication

Run daytona login; CLI stores account authentication.

Requirements

• Install Daytona CLI; vendor documents Homebrew for macOS/Linux and a PowerShell installer for Windows.
• Daytona account and API access.

Setup steps

1. Install Daytona CLI using the official platform-specific instructions.
2. Run `daytona login` and complete the account authentication flow.
3. Run `daytona mcp config` to view generated MCP settings, or `daytona mcp init` for a supported agent.
4. For clients without an initializer, use the documented stdio command `daytona mcp start`; on Windows follow the documented APPDATA requirement.
5. Inspect tools/list and avoid destructive sandbox actions without confirmation.

Crawl4AI checked current v0.226 MCP docs, the separately labeled v2.0 alpha docs, API index, full docs index, and publisher repository tree. The current page lists capability categories but not protocol tool identifiers; v2 alpha is not substituted as the current stable roster.
