Linode MCP becomes available to MCP clients through the linode mcp 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.

Once connected, the assistant can call these 7 tools directly:
list_regions — List all available Linode regionslist_instance_types — List all available Linode instance types and their pricinglist_instances — List all existing Linode instancescreate_instance — Create a new Linode instanceget_instance — Get details about a specific Linode instancedelete_instance — Delete a Linode instancereboot_instance — Reboot a Linode instanceThe server is distributed via PyPI as pip, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply one environment variable: LINODE_API_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Linode MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — list_regions, list_instance_types, list_instances among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
