What is the 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.
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.
How it works
- Connect the DigitalOcean integration to your AI assistant.
- Authorize using your DigitalOcean Personal Access Token (found in your API settings).
- Orchestrate your cloud infrastructure and resources through intuitive conversation.
Who is this for?

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns DigitalOcean into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from DigitalOcean and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
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.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
