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.

How Vinkius secures
Linode (Akamai) for Windsurf
Every tool call from Windsurf 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.
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.
Server not connecting
Check Settings → MCP for the server status. Try toggling it off and on.
