Questions, answered
How do I connect DigitalOcean to Claude?
Connect DigitalOcean in Elaichi first: paste a personal access token from your DigitalOcean account, since DigitalOcean connects with an API key rather than a sign-in screen. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in as yourself when Claude asks, and your DigitalOcean apps, clusters and keys are available in the conversation.
Does DigitalOcean work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once DigitalOcean is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect DigitalOcean once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my DigitalOcean data?
With DigitalOcean connected, an agent can list your apps and read their deployment logs, create or update an app, create a Kubernetes cluster from a 1-click, and manage SSH keys and SaaS add-ons on the account. It can also look up recent actions to tell you what changed and whether it finished. Because DigitalOcean exposes several hundred actions, short concrete asks such as "show the last logs for the billing app" get better results than long paragraphs.
Does connecting DigitalOcean give the AI access to my whole account?
No. Every call to DigitalOcean runs with the access of the person who signed in, so an agent sees the apps, clusters and keys that person's DigitalOcean token can already reach and nothing more. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions per action, but it can never widen it beyond what DigitalOcean itself allows that person.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in DigitalOcean?
Yes. In Elaichi you can restrict individual DigitalOcean actions, for example deleting an app, removing an SSH key or changing an add-on plan, while leaving read-only ones open. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Microsoft Copilot cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.
What happens to a DigitalOcean connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to DigitalOcean through every connected client at once. If they had shared a DigitalOcean connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. When you want DigitalOcean gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot and every other client together.
Does the DigitalOcean MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. DigitalOcean is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.
Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for DigitalOcean?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use DigitalOcean. Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every DigitalOcean call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for DigitalOcean?
Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to DigitalOcean: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
