Summary

DigitalOcean's official MCP server — deploy apps and manage Droplets, databases, and storage conversationally.

Features

Deploy and manage App Platform applications
Provision Droplets, databases, and Spaces
Read deployment logs and app configuration

Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
Merge the snippet below into it, filling in the environment variables with your own values.
Restart the agent — the "DigitalOcean" tools will be available.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "digitalocean": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@digitalocean/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN": "your-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add the server with a single CLI command.

claude mcp add digitalocean -e DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN=your-token -- npx -y @digitalocean/mcp

Claude Desktop

Add the server to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config).

      }
    }
  }
}

Description

DigitalOcean's official MCP server gives an assistant control of a DigitalOcean account, with App Platform as the most useful surface.

What it covers

App Platform — create, deploy, and manage applications, read build and runtime logs, and update configuration. Deploying from a repository becomes a request rather than a console session.
Droplets — create, resize, snapshot, and destroy virtual machines
Managed databases — provision and configure Postgres, MySQL, Redis, and MongoDB instances
Spaces object storage
Networking — floating IPs, firewalls, and load balancers
Kubernetes cluster management

Why App Platform in particular

The deploy-check-logs-fix loop is where an assistant adds most value, because reading a failed build log and identifying the cause is exactly what it is good at. Having deploy and logs in the same interface as the code makes that loop tight.

Setup

Requires a DigitalOcean API token; runs with npx @digitalocean/mcp. Scope the token to read-only unless you specifically want provisioning, since creating resources costs money.
