What it does

DigitalOcean through an assistant

Droplets and their lifecycle actions, the full networking surface, managed databases, Kubernetes, Functions, Container Registry, Block Storage, Spaces, App Platform, monitoring, billing and the GenAI product lines -- the complete tool coverage DigitalOcean's own server offers, on a token you scope to one team. Writes are opt-in, and every operation DigitalOcean itself rates High risk needs an explicit confirmation on top, which is stricter than DigitalOcean's own server enforces.

Droplets, images, snapshots, sizes and tag-scoped bulk actions
VPCs, firewalls, load balancers, DNS, reserved IPs and certificates
Managed database clusters and per-engine config, Kubernetes clusters and node pools
Functions, Container Registry, Block Storage, NFS shares and Spaces CDN
Account, balance, billing history, invoices, alert policies and uptime checks
Create, resize, power-cycle and delete infrastructure (opt-in, confirmation on high-risk)

Access & safety

You decide what it can touch

The same model applies to every connector, and it defaults closed.

Your own credential

You supply your own DigitalOcean key, scoped however you like on their side. It is encrypted with AES-256-GCM and never returned by any API response or tool call.

Writes off by default

A new connection switches on a read-oriented default set only. Every write tool must be enabled deliberately before any client can call it.

Roles enforced server-side

READ, WRITE and ADMIN gate tool invocation on the server, not just in the UI. A READ member's token is refused any write tool.

Setup

Connect DigitalOcean in minutes

No infrastructure to run. Copy one URL and one token into your client.

1Create a free workspace and connect DigitalOcean.
2Choose which tools to expose — writes stay off until you enable them.
3Copy your MCP endpoint URL and bearer token.
4Paste them into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.
