Linode MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that interfaces with the Linode API and works with Claude Desktop using stdio. This server acts as a bridge between Claude Desktop and Linode's services.

Installation & Uage with npx

You need a Linode API token to use this server. You can create one in the Linode Cloud Manager under your profile settings.

# Start the server with your API token
npx @takashito/linode-mcp-server --token YOUR_LINODE_API_TOKEN

You can also set the token using an environment variable:

# Set the token as an environment variable
export LINODE_API_TOKEN=your_token_here

Or by adding it to a .env file in the project directory:

LINODE_API_TOKEN=your_token_here

# Then run the server
npx @takashito/linode-mcp-server

Using with Claude Desktop

Add this MCP server to Claude Desktop by configuring it in your Claude settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linode": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@takashito/linode-mcp-server",
        "--token", 
        "YOUR_LINODE_API_TOKEN"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Or using environment variables:
