Linode MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Linode's API to manage cloud resources. This package enables Large Language Models (LLMs) like Claude to manage Linode instances through a standardized interface.

Features

• List Linode regions, instance types, and instances
• Create, view details, delete, and reboot Linode instances
• Secure and easy-to-use interface for LLMs to manage Linode resources
• Fully compatible with MCP-enabled AI assistants like Claude

Installation and Configuration

Set your Linode API key as an environment variable:

Or use a .env file in the project directory:

You can generate an API key from the Linode Cloud Manager.

From PyPI (Recommended)

As a Command Line Tool

With Claude for Desktop

1. Install the package:
   pip install linode-mcp
2. Manually edit your Claude Desktop configuration file:
   • MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
   { "mcpServers": { "linode": { "command": "linode-mcp", "args": ["--api-key", "your_api_key_here"] } } }
3. Restart Claude for Desktop
4. In a conversation with Claude, you can now ask it to:
   • List your Linode instances
   • Create a new Linode instance
   • Get details about a specific instance
   • Reboot or delete instances

Example prompts:

• "Show me all my Linode instances"
• "Create a new 2GB Linode in the Frankfurt region with Debian 11"
• "Reboot my instance with ID 12345"
