DigitalOcean API MCP Server
The DigitalOcean API is a comprehensive, RESTful interface provided by DigitalOcean, a leading cloud infrastructure provider focused on simplifying cloud computing for developers, startups, and enterprises.
Quick Start Summary
The DigitalOcean API MCP server is a Model Context Protocol bridge that connects AI assistants — including Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code Copilot — to the DigitalOcean API API through natural language. It exposes 10 API endpoints as callable tools, such as List 1-Click Applications, Install Kubernetes 1-Click Applications, Get User Information, and more. No authentication is required — setup takes approximately 30 seconds. The server uses STDIO transport and can be installed by running npx -y @mcp/digitalocean-com. This integration is sourced from the auto DigitalOcean API OpenAPI specification (v2.0) and has a quality score of 34/99 (fair documentation coverage).

Bearer TokenAccess Analyzer
The AWS Identity and Access Management Access Analyzer API provides a powerful, policy-as-code service that automatically identifies resources accessible from outside your AWS account or organization. At its core, the service continuously evaluates resource-based policies—such as Amazon S3 bucket policies, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles, Amazon KMS key policies, and AWS Lambda function policies—using logic-based reasoning to determine which resources grant access to unknown external principals. Its primary use case is for security and compliance teams within enterprises to proactively detect unintended data exposure, enforce least privilege principles, and audit cross-account and cross-service access. The API endpoints allow programmatic control to create, configure, and query analyzers, manage archive rules for storing findings, and generate custom policy documents, making it a foundational tool for automating cloud security posture management at scale.

AWS Migration Hub MCP Setup
The AWS Migration Hub API provides a centralized programmatic interface for managing and tracking server and application migrations at scale, offered as part of Amazon Web Services' comprehensive cloud migration and modernization portfolio. This API serves as the control plane for Migration Hub, enabling enterprise customers and cloud architects to programmatically integrate migration status tracking, application state management, and resource association workflows into their existing DevOps pipelines and migration automation tooling. Its core capabilities include creating and managing progress update streams for different migration tools, associating and disassociating both AWS-discovered resources and artifacts created by migration tools with specific applications or tasks, importing migration tasks from external sources, and querying the real-time status of applications and individual migration tasks. Typical use cases involve large-scale data center migrations where hundreds or thousands of servers are being moved to AWS, application portfolio assessments, and hybrid-cloud transitions where organizations need a unified dashboard and API layer to orchestrate tools like AWS Application Migration Service, AWS Database Migration Service, or third-party solutions.
