Configuration

​
Using the provider directly

import { VibeKit } from "@vibe-kit/sdk";
import { createDaytonaProvider } from "@vibe-kit/daytona";

const daytonaProvider = createDaytonaProvider({
  apiKey: process.env.DAYTONA_API_KEY!,
  image: "codex-image",
  serverUrl: "https://app.daytona.io/api",
});

const vibeKit = new VibeKit()
  .withAgent({
    type: "claude",
    provider: "anthropic",
    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
    model: "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
  })
  .withSandbox(daytonaProvider);

// Generate code
const result = await vibeKit.generateCode({ 
  prompt: "Build a Python FastAPI application", 
  mode: "ask" 
});

// Get host URL (if applicable)
const host = await vibeKit.getHost(8000);

// Clean up
await vibeKit.kill();

​
Using configuration object

import { VibeKit, VibeConfig } from "@vibe-kit/sdk";

const config: VibeConfig = {
  ...,
  environment: {
    daytona: {
      // Required Daytona API key
      apiKey: "****",
      image: "codex-image",
      serverUrl: "https://app.daytona.io/api"
    },
  },
};

​
ENV variables and secrets

You can use environment variables for your Daytona configuration: 
DAYTONA_API_KEY=your_daytona_api_key_here
Then reference them in your code: 
const daytonaProvider = createDaytonaProvider({
  apiKey: process.env.DAYTONA_API_KEY!,
  image: "codex-image",
  serverUrl: "https://app.daytona.io/api",
