How to Use the Linode (Akamai) MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the Linode (Akamai) MCP Server to my Cursor project?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and define the server under the mcpServers key. Once saved, enable Agent mode in the Cursor chat panel to start running tools like listlinodes.

Q: Can Cursor automatically delete my Linode (Akamai) instances?

Yes, if you authorize it in Agent mode, Cursor can execute deletelinode to remove specific instances. The agent will always ask for your confirmation before running any destructive commands.

Q: How do I monitor my Linode (Akamai) account balance using the MCP Server inside Cursor?

Your agent can run getaccount to retrieve your active billing details and resource limits directly in the editor. This helps you track your spending while spinning up test instances during development.

Q: Can I use this server to manage user privileges?

Yes, you can run listusers to see who has access to your infrastructure. The agent can compile this list into a markdown file right inside your workspace for quick auditing.

Spin up and modify Linode (Akamai) VMs directly within your Cursor editor as you write your deployment code.

Perplexity

Generate code using live Linode (Akamai) context

The `get_linode` tool fetches live configuration data from your active virtual servers directly into your Cursor editor. Your agent reads this real-time data to write deployment scripts that actually match your real-world infrastructure. Instead of coding with dummy variables, your agent uses `list_linodes` to pull active IP addresses and insert them directly into your configuration files. It saves you the headache of manual copy-pasting from the cloud console.

Provision infrastructure inside Cursor Agent mode

The `create_linode` tool allows your editor to provision new virtual machines on demand while you write your application. You describe the server requirements in the chat panel, and Cursor runs the tool to build it. If you need to clean up resources during testing, your agent runs `delete_linode` to tear down temporary instances. This MCP Server integration keeps your development loop entirely within the editor.

Deploy Kubernetes clusters while coding

The `create_lke_cluster` tool launches managed Kubernetes environments directly from your workspace. Your agent writes the deployment manifests and provisions the cluster using live API calls. To verify that your cluster is ready for the code you just wrote, the agent invokes `get_lke_cluster` to poll the status. It checks the node pool state before attempting to run your containerized application.

Setup guide

Set up Linode (Akamai) MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Linode (Akamai) MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Linode (Akamai) transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Linode (Akamai) tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linode-akamai-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
