About DigitalOcean MCP Server

Connect your DigitalOcean cloud account to any AI agent and take full control of your infrastructure management and monitoring workflows through natural conversation.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple DigitalOcean tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 9 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

What you can do

  • Droplet Management — List all virtual machines (Droplets) and retrieve detailed metadata including status, IP addresses, and hardware specs programmatically
  • Domain & DNS Control — Query and manage your domain names and DNS configurations to ensure service availability and correct routing in real-time
  • Database Monitoring — Track the status and connection endpoints of your managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis clusters directly through your agent
  • Kubernetes Insights — List all DOKS (DigitalOcean Kubernetes Service) clusters and retrieve health metadata to oversee your containerized deployments
  • Resource Inventory — Access account-wide actions, disk images, snapshots, and block storage volumes for a comprehensive high-fidelity overview

The DigitalOcean MCP Server exposes 9 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

DigitalOcean + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating DigitalOcean MCP Server with Windsurf.

01

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
02

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
03

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
