# Linode (Akamai) MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Linode (Akamai) MCP lets you manage your cloud infrastructure through your AI agent. You can spin up new Linode instances, configure Kubernetes clusters, and check account details without switching tabs. It handles the heavy lifting of cloud provisioning so you can stay focused on your code. ## Overview - **Category:** industry-titans - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_ljJqi9DRCsKssM0innv5QubMYWrAtvvYg1O9Z1k6/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** vps, kubernetes, cloud-computing, server-management, infrastructure-provisioning, container-orchestration ## Description Managing cloud infrastructure usually means juggling multiple tabs, copying IP addresses, and navigating complex dashboards just to spin up a single server. This Connector changes that by letting you handle your Linode account directly from your AI client. Instead of manual configuration, you can just tell your agent to provision a new VPS with specific hardware and an Ubuntu image. It handles the heavy lifting of interacting with the Akamai infrastructure, whether you're setting up a production environment or just spinning up a temporary staging area. You can also manage your LKE clusters, check who has access to your account, and pull instance details on the fly. Because it's hosted on Vinkius, you get a reliable way to connect your cloud resources to your favorite tools like Cursor or Claude. You get to stop worrying about the how of the API and start focusing on the what of your deployment. ## Tools ### delete_linode Remove a Linode instance from your account to stop billing or clear space. It helps keep your infrastructure lean. ### create_linode Create a new Linode instance with your preferred specs and region. This is the primary way to provision new compute power. ### create_lke_cluster Provision a new Linode Kubernetes Engine cluster and configure its node pools. Use this for container orchestration. ### get_account Pull your current account details to verify your subscription status and limits. It provides a quick snapshot of your account. ### get_linode View the specific details of a single Linode instance, like its IP or status. This is useful for targeted troubleshooting. ### get_lke_cluster Check the status and configuration of a specific LKE cluster. Use this to verify node counts and versions. ### list_linodes Get a full list of all your active Linodes across all regions. It provides a bird's-eye view of your compute resources. ### list_lke_clusters See every LKE cluster currently running in your account. This helps you manage multiple environments in one place. ### list_users See which users have access to your Linode account for security audits. It helps you keep your cloud environment secure. ### update_linode Modify the settings or configuration of an existing Linode instance. Use this to change hardware types or other specs. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List all my current Linodes. ``` **Response:** ``` I've retrieved your Linodes. You have 3 active instances: | Name | ID | Region | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **web-server-prod** | 12345 | us-east | | **db-master** | 12346 | eu-central | | **staging-app** | 12347 | ap-south | ``` **Prompt:** ``` Create a new g6-standard-1 Linode in the us-east region with Ubuntu 22.04. ``` **Response:** ``` Provisioning your new Linode... ✅ **Success!** The instance has been created with **ID 54321**. It is currently booting in the **us-east** region with **Ubuntu 22.04 LTS**. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Show me the details of my Kubernetes clusters. ``` **Response:** ``` Fetching LKE clusters... I found one cluster: **production-cluster** (ID: 9876). * **Status:** Running * **K8s Version:** 1.25 * **Region:** us-east * **Nodes:** 3 nodes in the default pool ``` ## Capabilities ### Spin up new Linode instances Provision new VPS instances with specific images and hardware types instantly. ### Deploy LKE clusters Create and configure Linode Kubernetes Engine clusters and node pools. ### Audit account permissions View authorized users and account details to maintain security. ### Manage active compute resources List, view, and update your existing Linode instances across all regions. ### Delete old resources Remove unused instances from your account to stop billing. ## Use Cases ### Emergency Scaling An engineer needs a new VPS for a traffic spike and uses create_linode to spin one up in 30 seconds. ### Dev Environment Setup A developer asks the agent to create a new LKE cluster for their staging site using create_lke_cluster. ### Security Audit A security lead asks who has access to their Linode account to verify permissions via list_users. ### Resource Cleanup A user wants to stop paying for a test server and asks the agent to delete the old staging Linode using delete_linode. ## Benefits - Spin up servers faster by using create_linode to provision specific images and hardware types in seconds. - Manage Kubernetes more easily with create_lke_cluster to set up node pools without manual dashboard navigation. - Audit your security posture instantly using list_users to see who has access to your cloud resources. - Keep your inventory organized by using list_linodes to see every active instance in one view. - Save time on maintenance by using update_linode to change instance specs on the fly from your chat. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a conversational interface for your entire Linode cloud footprint. 1. Subscribe to the Linode (Akamai) MCP on Vinkius. 2. Enter your Linode Personal Access Token in your AI client settings. 3. Start asking your agent to create servers or check cluster statuses. ## Frequently Asked Questions **What can I do with the Linode (Akamai) MCP?** You can manage your entire Linode cloud infrastructure using natural language. This includes spinning up new VPS instances, deploying Kubernetes clusters, and auditing your account users. **How do I use Linode (Akamai) MCP to manage my VPS?** Once connected, you can simply tell your AI agent to create, list, update, or delete Linode instances. It handles the underlying API calls to provision your servers instantly. **Can I use Linode (Akamai) MCP to set up Kubernetes clusters?** Yes, you can use it to deploy and manage Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) clusters. You can also check the status of existing clusters and configure node pools through your agent. **Is Linode (Akamai) MCP safe for production infrastructure?** It is a secure way to manage your infrastructure. By using your Personal Access Token, your AI agent can perform actions like provisioning and auditing while keeping your workflow within a secure, controlled environment. **How do I connect my Linode account to my AI agent?** You just need to subscribe to the Connector on Vinkius and provide your Linode Personal Access Token. From there, your AI client can start interacting with your cloud resources. **Can I use Linode (Akamai) MCP to check who has access to my account?** Yes, you can ask your agent to list all authorized users. This makes it very easy to perform security audits and ensure only the right people have access to your cloud resources. **Can I list all my active virtual servers across all regions?** Yes. Use the `list_linodes` tool to retrieve a complete list of all Linode compute instances associated with your account, including their status and IP addresses. **How do I deploy a new Kubernetes cluster using this server?** You can use the `create_lke_cluster` tool. You'll need to provide a label, region, and Kubernetes version. You can also optionally define node pools with specific instance types. **Is it possible to delete a Linode instance if it's no longer needed?** Yes, the `delete_linode` tool allows you to permanently remove a specific Linode instance by providing its unique `linodeId`.
