Bring Cloud Computing
to Cline
Learn how to connect DigitalOcean to Cline and start using 9 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the 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.
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
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Retrieve your Personal Access Token from the DigitalOcean dashboard (API > Tokens)
3. Start managing your cloud resources from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
No more manual dashboard navigation or searching for IP addresses. Your AI acts as your dedicated cloud architect and SRE coordinator.
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — instantly retrieve droplet specs and check database health using natural language commands
- System Administrators — monitor account actions and manage DNS records without leaving your communication tools
- Technical Founders — orchestrate your startup's cloud infrastructure and monitor snapshots through simple AI queries

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my DigitalOcean Access Token?
Log in to the Cloud Control Panel, navigate to API in the sidebar, and click Generate New Token under Personal Access Tokens.
Can I perform destructive actions like deleting droplets?
No. The current toolset is focused on querying and monitoring resources. Destructive or state-altering commands are not exposed via the agent.
How do I get technical details for a specific Droplet?
Use the get_droplet_details tool with the Droplet's numeric ID to retrieve full networking and configuration metadata.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
