Last week, we announced the new DigitalOcean MCP Server - a tool that connects Claude Desktop (or IDEs like Cursor, or Windsurf) to your DigitalOcean account so it can actually do things: deploy apps, fetch logs, restart services, and more.
In this post, we’ll walk through how to set it up with Claude Code - Anthropic’s terminal-based CLI. Claude Code runs locally in your terminal and has access to your current project folder, which makes it perfect for things like deploying apps with context using MCP servers.
Note: If you’re new to MCP and wondering what this all unlocks, check out our high-level intro: MCP 101: An Introduction to Model Context Protocol, and MCP Server in Python — Everything I Wish I’d Known on Day One.

We’ll set up the server using the default (local) scope, verify it’s working, and run our first natural language prompt. Let’s dive in.
