# Linode MCP Server — 179 tools via DADL

The Linode DADL turns Linode's API into an MCP server that Claude, GPT or any MCP-compatible agent can consume directly. One YAML file declares all 179 tools — linode, lke, nodebalancer, domain, firewall, volume, and more — and ToolMesh serves them at runtime. No Python boilerplate, no per-endpoint code, no separate MCP server process.

Below: the endpoint coverage matrix, a two-block ToolMesh setup, the full tool reference grouped by Linode feature area, required credential scopes.

**Source:** [Linode REST API v4](https://techdocs.akamai.com/linode-api/reference/api)

**Tags:** cloud, dns, storage, databases, containers, networking, crud, authentication, auth:bearer

## Which Linode endpoints are covered?

**30%** (118 of ~400 endpoints).

**Focus:** linodes, volumes, domains, nodebalancers, firewalls, VPCs, LKE, databases, object storage, images, stackscripts, regions, account, profile, events, tags

**Missing:** longview, managed services, monitor, IAM/delegation, service transfers, beta programs, placement groups, support tickets

## How do you configure the Linode DADL?

1. Log in to Linode Cloud Manager at https://cloud.linode.com
2. Navigate to your profile icon (top right) → API Tokens
3. Click 'Create a Personal Access Token'
4. Set a label, expiry, and select scopes (Read/Write per category)
5. Copy the token immediately -- it is shown only once

**Environment variable:** `CREDENTIAL_LINODE_TOKEN`

[Authentication docs](https://techdocs.akamai.com/linode-api/reference/get-started)

*Personal Access Tokens (PATs) are the simplest auth method. OAuth2 is also supported for third-party apps. Scopes are per-category with read_only or read_write levels.*

## How do you install the Linode MCP server with ToolMesh?

Add to your `backends.yaml`:

```yaml
- name: linode
  transport: rest
  dadl: /app/dadl/linode.dadl

```

Set the credential:

```
CREDENTIAL_LINODE_TOKEN=your-token-here
```
