What the DigitalOcean connector can do

DigitalOcean provides cloud infrastructure, covering droplets, managed databases, storage, and networking, through REST APIs typically reached with a personal access token. With a DigitalOcean connection in type.com, a platform team can ask Claude to provision a new database cluster, add a storage volume, or set up DNS for a new domain, all logged in the thread.

One connection, many Spaces

Connect DigitalOcean once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting DigitalOcean

Can Claude provision DigitalOcean infrastructure from type.com?

Yes. With a DigitalOcean connection shared to a Space, Claude can create databases, volumes, images, and domain records in a thread, logged for the whole team to review.

How does DigitalOcean authenticate in type.com?

DigitalOcean supports a personal access token or OAuth. An admin sets this up once on the connection and controls which Spaces can use it.

Can infrastructure checks run on a schedule?

Yes. A type.com automation can ask Claude to check on DigitalOcean resources, like cluster status, at a set interval and post the result to a channel.

Is this the same as a DigitalOcean MCP server?

Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
