DigitalOcean for AI agents

DigitalOcean is a cloud infrastructure provider offering droplets, managed databases, and Kubernetes for developers running applications at scale, used by engineering teams to host and manage production workloads. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

01 · USE CASES

What agents do in DigitalOcean.

01

List running droplets

List every droplet in an account to check capacity before scaling up a service.

02

Spin up a new droplet

Create a new droplet with a chosen image and size when a team needs another server.

03

Block a droplet deletion

Hold a request to delete an existing droplet for approval, since it destroys the server and its data.

02 · ACTIONS

48 DigitalOcean actions, graded by risk.

Every DigitalOcean action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

03 · HOW IT WORKS

DigitalOcean in three steps.

  1. 01Your users connect DigitalOceanThey sign in to DigitalOcean on Arc0 Connect, under your brand, and approve the access you ask for.
  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create New Tag” can wait for the user, and “delete Tag” can be denied outright.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls DigitalOcean through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
POLICY.TS
await arc0.policies.set('digitalocean', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_new_tag
  destructive: 'deny',  // delete_tag
})

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How DigitalOcean connects.

Users sign in to DigitalOcean on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s DigitalOcean OAuth app, or bring your own so the DigitalOcean consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

The same DigitalOcean connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

DigitalOcean and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use DigitalOcean with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect DigitalOcean to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the DigitalOcean actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect DigitalOcean?

Users sign in to DigitalOcean on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s DigitalOcean OAuth app, or bring your own so the DigitalOcean consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

Q03

Which DigitalOcean actions can my agent take?

48 in total: 21 read, 15 write and 12 destructive, such as “create New Tag”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in DigitalOcean?

Yes. Actions like “delete Tag” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call DigitalOcean too?

Yes. The same DigitalOcean connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
