How do I get a DigitalOcean Personal Access Token?

Log in to your DigitalOcean account, navigate to the **API** section in the sidebar, and under the **Tokens/Keys** tab, click **Generate New Token**. Ensure you select the 'read' or 'write' scopes as needed.

Can the agent reboot a Droplet?

This integration currently focuses on listing and auditing infrastructure resources. Power actions like rebooting or resizing should be managed via the DigitalOcean control panel or CLI.

Is the App Platform supported?

Yes, you can use the list_app_platform_services tool to monitor your applications deployed on DigitalOcean's App Platform and check their current deployment status.

About DigitalOcean MCP Server

Integrate DigitalOcean, the leading cloud infrastructure provider, directly into your AI workflow. Manage your compute instances (Droplets), monitor block storage and DNS domains, track managed databases, and oversee your App Platform services using natural language.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple DigitalOcean tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

What you can do

Compute Oversight — List and retrieve detailed configuration for all your Droplets, including IP addresses and resource status.
Storage & Networking — Monitor block storage volumes and manage DNS domains directly via chat.
Managed Databases — Track your database clusters (Postgres, MySQL, Redis) and their technical metadata.
App Platform Monitoring — Oversee your deployed applications and their active deployment states across projects.

The DigitalOcean MCP Server exposes 10 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.

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.

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.

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.
