SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the manual setup work required to connect DigitalOcean services to a self-hosted Hermes agent, so you can manage cloud resources through one SSH-driven workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Service-by-Service MCP Wiring: Connect Droplets, Apps, Databases, Kubernetes, Spaces, and other DigitalOcean endpoints individually with clear naming and environment handling.
  • Safe Secret Handling: Store the DigitalOcean personal access token on the VPS, keep it out of chat and config files, and validate it without exposing the value.
  • Operational Verification: Reload the Hermes gateway, confirm registration in logs, and run a live API smoke test to prove the integration works end to end.
  • Use Case: A platform engineer can attach DigitalOcean to Hermes once per service and then ask the agent to inspect infrastructure or manage cloud resources remotely.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to connect the chosen DigitalOcean service to your self-hosted Hermes instance over SSH, using your PAT and verifying the MCP registration end to end.

Frequently Asked Questions about integration-digitalocean

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect DigitalOcean services to a self-hosted Hermes agent over SSH?▼

Connect DigitalOcean to a self-hosted Hermes agent by wiring remote MCP services for Droplets, Apps, and Databases over SSH using a personal access token. The process requires idempotent MCP registration, gateway reload, log verification, and token-safe API smoke testing.

What is the best way to manage DigitalOcean Droplets and Kubernetes through an AI agent?▼

Attach per-service cloud endpoints like Droplets and Kubernetes to a self-hosted Hermes agent to manage them remotely. This creates one SSH-driven workflow that allows the agent to inspect infrastructure and execute cloud resource tasks.

Does connecting DigitalOcean MCP services require exposing my personal access token in config files?▼

Connecting DigitalOcean MCP services does not require exposing your personal access token in config files. The integration ensures safe secret handling by storing the PAT securely on the VPS and validating it without exposing the value in chat or configuration.

How do I verify that a DigitalOcean MCP integration is working end to end?▼

Verify a DigitalOcean MCP integration by reloading the Hermes gateway, confirming the service registration appears in logs, and running a live token-safe API smoke test. This operational verification proves the end-to-end connection works.

Can I wire DigitalOcean Spaces and Databases individually to Hermes?▼

You can wire DigitalOcean Spaces and Databases individually to Hermes. The integration supports per-service cloud wiring for Droplets, Apps, Databases, Kubernetes, and Spaces with clear naming and distinct environment handling.

Why do I need a DigitalOcean personal access token to set up remote MCP services?▼

A DigitalOcean personal access token is required to authenticate the remote MCP services connecting to your self-hosted Hermes agent. The token is stored safely on the VPS to validate access without exposing the value in chat or config files.
