Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Linode (Akamai) MCP Server?
Connect your Linode (Akamai) account to any AI agent to manage your cloud infrastructure through natural language. This server provides comprehensive tools for compute and container orchestration.
What you can do
- Compute Management — List, create, view, update, and delete Linode instances (VPS) across global regions using
list_linodesandcreate_linode. - Kubernetes (LKE) — Deploy and manage Linode Kubernetes Engine clusters, including node pool configuration via
create_lke_cluster. - Account Oversight — Retrieve account details and list authorized users with
get_accountandlist_usersto maintain security and visibility. - Instance Control — Provision servers with specific images (like Ubuntu 22.04) and hardware types instantly.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Linode Personal Access Token
- Start managing your cloud resources from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — quickly check cluster statuses or spin up temporary environments without leaving the terminal or IDE.
- Full-stack Developers — manage backend infrastructure directly from the code editor while building applications.
- Cloud Architects — audit account resources and user access through conversational queries.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Linode (Akamai) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Linode (Akamai) 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
Linode (Akamai) in Cursor
Linode (Akamai) and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Linode (Akamai) to Cursor through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Linode (Akamai) in Cursor
The Linode (Akamai) MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 10 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Cursor only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
Linode (Akamai) for Cursor
Every tool call from Cursor to the Linode (Akamai) MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I list all my active virtual servers across all regions?
Yes. Use the list_linodes tool to retrieve a complete list of all Linode compute instances associated with your account, including their status and IP addresses.
How do I deploy a new Kubernetes cluster using this server?
You can use the create_lke_cluster tool. You'll need to provide a label, region, and Kubernetes version. You can also optionally define node pools with specific instance types.
Is it possible to delete a Linode instance if it's no longer needed?
Yes, the delete_linode tool allows you to permanently remove a specific Linode instance by providing its unique linodeId.
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.
