readonly-mcp-akamai
Read-only MCP server for Akamai CDN. Search properties, browse EdgeWorker code, query DNS zones, inspect network lists, and translate error codes.
Read-only by design. This server can only read data. It cannot create, modify, delete, activate, deactivate, or purge anything. See blog.wentland.io for the rationale.
