DigitalOcean, verified

Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

claude mcp add --transport stdio digitalocean --env "DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN=<YOUR_DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN>" -- npx -y @digitalocean/mcp --services apps,droplets,databases

1. Start Claude Code and type /mcp. digitalocean should show as connected.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Claude Desktop

1. Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config. It opens claude_desktop_config.json. Add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "digitalocean": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@digitalocean/mcp",
        "--services",
        "apps,droplets,databases"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR_DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

1. Save the file and restart Claude Desktop. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Needs Node.js on your computer. The file lives in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS and %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows.

Cursor

Add to Cursor (opens in a new tab)

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "digitalocean": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@digitalocean/mcp",
        "--services",
        "apps,droplets,databases"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR_DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Needs Node.js on your computer. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

VS Code

Add it to .vscode/mcp.json. VS Code asks for the secret the first time and stores it securely:

{
  "servers": {
    "digitalocean": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@digitalocean/mcp",
        "--services",
        "apps,droplets,databases"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN": "${input:digitalocean-api-token}"
      }
    }
  },
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "digitalocean-api-token",
      "description": "DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN",
      "password": true
    }
  ]
}

Needs Node.js on your computer.

Devin Desktop

1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "digitalocean": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@digitalocean/mcp",
        "--services",
        "apps,droplets,databases"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR_DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf.

Codex

codex mcp add digitalocean --env "DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN=<YOUR_DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN>" -- npx -y @digitalocean/mcp --services apps,droplets,databases

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

[mcp_servers.digitalocean]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@digitalocean/mcp", "--services", "apps,droplets,databases"]
env = { DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN = "<YOUR_DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN>" }

Needs Node.js on your computer. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add -e "DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN=<YOUR_DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN>" digitalocean npx -- -y @digitalocean/mcp --services apps,droplets,databases

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients that start local servers accept this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "digitalocean": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@digitalocean/mcp",
        "--services",
        "apps,droplets,databases"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR_DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings, with the same command, args and env fields.

Needs Node.js on your computer. Replace the placeholders with your own values.
