8 TOOLS AVAILABLE
OUR ASSESSMENT
- 17 GitHub stars and MIT licence.
- 11 commits on main in the last 30 days.
- Tool surface covers instances, NodeBalancers, domains, volumes, firewalls, Object Storage.
- Pairs with the Linode CLI for headless agent setups.
- Lightweight Linode-specific alternative to AWS/GCP/Azure MCPs.
- Single-maintainer governance.
- 17 GitHub stars; adoption is early.
- Linode API token grants account-wide access; scope per agent.
- Power and create actions carry production impact; use read-only tokens for diagnostic agents.
Linode API token grants account-wide access by default. Scope the token via Linode account settings to the minimum permissions for the agent flow. Power and create actions can incur cost or bring down production resources; for production agents, use read-only tokens and route mutations through a separate audit-logged path.
Linode (now Akamai Cloud) customers running infrastructure who want agents to inspect or manage instances from inside the editor; teams building tooling around Linode Object Storage; ops automation that needs Linode firewall or domain inspection.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 4 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 4 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
