Linode MCP Server

FastMCP v3: This project uses FastMCP v3 for typed sessions, cleaner token handling, and improved security. Supports stdio and HTTP streaming (StreamableHTTP) transports.

What Can You Do With This?

Ask Claude Desktop or VSCode Copilot Agent to help you with tasks like:

"Show me all my instances in the Frankfurt region"
"Create a new instance in Osaka"
"Create a load balancer for my web servers"
"Set up a managed MySQL database" etc

This server provides tools for the following Linode service categories:

🖥️ instances - Linode compute instances
💾 volumes - Block storage volumes
🌐 networking - IP addresses, firewalls, VLANs
⚖️ nodebalancers - Load balancers for distributing traffic
🌎 regions - Data center locations
📊 placement - Instance placement policies
🔒 vpcs - Virtual Private Cloud networks
📦 objectStorage - S3-compatible object storage
🔤 domains - DNS management
🗄️ databases - Managed MySQL/PostgreSQL databases
☸️ kubernetes - Kubernetes container orchestration (LKE)
💿 images - Custom disk images for instances
📜 stackScripts - Deployment automation scripts
🏷️ tags - Resource organization labels
🎫 support - Support tickets and requests
📊 longview - System metrics and monitoring
👤 profile - User profile and security settings
🏢 account - Account management, users, billing, IAM, and resource locks
📡 monitor - Alerts, logs, metrics, and dashboards

Getting Started

Quick Start with npx

You'll need a Linode API token to use this server. Create one in your Linode Cloud Manager profile settings.

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

Setting Your API Token

You can provide your token in several ways. Precedence (highest first):

Authorization: Bearer <token> request header (HTTP transport only) — a token sent by the MCP client on each request. See Pass Linode API Key via Authorization Header below. This wins over every fallback so multiple users can share one server.

--token command-line option:

npx @takashito/linode-mcp-server --token YOUR_LINODE_API_TOKEN

LINODE_API_TOKEN environment variable:

export LINODE_API_TOKEN=your_token_here
npx @takashito/linode-mcp-server

.env file in the current working directory — the server calls dotenv.config() at startup, so a .env file in the directory you launch it from is auto-loaded:
```
LINODE_API_TOKEN=your_token_here
```
```
npx @takashito/linode-mcp-server
```

⚠️ Gotcha for HTTP transport: a .env file or LINODE_API_TOKEN env var in the server's launch environment acts as a fallback when the client omits the Authorization header. If you want to require every client to authenticate with its own header (e.g. multi-user setup), make sure the server process has no LINODE_API_TOKEN in env and no .env in its working directory.
