DigitalOcean's MCP server lets agents manage App Platform apps, Droplets, managed databases, Kubernetes, networking, Spaces and other services. DigitalOcean hosts a separate remote endpoint per service (for example apps, databases, droplets) that supports OAuth or a bearer API token, and the same tools can run locally via npx with DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN.
