DigitalOcean is a cloud infrastructure provider offering scalable compute platforms with a user-friendly interface.

One connection, many Spaces

Connect DigitalOcean once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

Representative actions

  • Create Custom Image

    Creates a custom image in DigitalOcean by importing a Linux VM disk image from a publicly accessible URL. Use this action to upload custom OS images (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Fedora, etc.) that can later be used to create Droplets. The image will be processed asynchronously and its status can be monitored via the returned image ID.

  • Create Database Cluster

    Creates a new managed database cluster on DigitalOcean. Provisions a database with specified engine (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Valkey, MongoDB, Kafka, or OpenSearch), version, region, size, and node count. Returns connection credentials and cluster details. The cluster will be in 'creating' status initially and take several minutes to become fully operational.

  • Create New Block Storage Volume

    Tool to create a new block storage volume. Use when you need to provision persistent block storage after confirming the target region supports volumes. Example: "Create a 100 GiB ext4 backup volume named 'db-backup' in nyc1."

  • Create New Domain

    Creates a new domain in DigitalOcean's DNS management system. This adds the domain to your DigitalOcean account and allows you to manage its DNS records. Use this action when you need to: - Add a domain to DigitalOcean DNS for DNS hosting and management - Set up a new domain with an optional initial A record pointing to an IP address - Transfer DNS management of an existing domain to DigitalOcean Note: The domain name must be unique within your DigitalOcean account and use a recognized top-level domain (TLD). After creation, you can add additional DNS records using the create domain record action.

  • Create Domain Record

    Tool to create a new DNS record for a domain. Use after confirming domain exists and record specifics.

Connection

API and auth details

DigitalOcean exposes APIs for Droplets, Kubernetes, App Platform, load balancers, volumes, networking, databases, firewalls, monitoring, projects, registries, Spaces object storage, and Gradient AI services. Authentication commonly uses personal access tokens, with SDK and CLI support for infrastructure automation.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting DigitalOcean

Can Claude use DigitalOcean?

Yes. Add a DigitalOcean connection to a Space that runs Claude, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.

Can Codex work with DigitalOcean through Type?

Yes. Add a DigitalOcean connection to a Space that runs Codex, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.

Is this the same as a DigitalOcean MCP server?

Not exactly. Type uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
