description	DigitalOcean cloud infrastructure API integration with managed OAuth. Provision and manage Droplets, databases, Kubernetes clusters, DNS domains, firewalls, load balancers, volumes, VPCs, and more. Use this skill when users want to list cloud resources, create Droplets, manage DNS records, or monitor infrastructure on DigitalOcean.

DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean provides cloud infrastructure including virtual machines (Droplets), managed databases, Kubernetes, DNS, networking, and storage. This integration lets you provision and manage all major DigitalOcean resources through ClawLink's hosted OAuth flow.

Setup in 3 Steps

Install

openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart

Quick Start

1. List all Droplets -- digital_ocean_list_all_droplets
2. Create a new Droplet -- digital_ocean_create_new_droplet
3. List DNS domains -- digital_ocean_list_all_domains

Authentication

ClawLink handles OAuth automatically. When you connect DigitalOcean through the dashboard, ClawLink obtains and refreshes tokens on your behalf. No API keys needed.

Security & Permissions

Read operations (listing resources, retrieving details) are safe. Write operations (creating resources, updating records) require confirmation. Delete operations are permanent, irreversible, and require explicit approval.

Code Examples

List all Droplets

{
  "tool": "digital_ocean_list_all_droplets",
  "args": { "page": 1, "per_page": 50 }
}

Create a new Droplet

{
  "tool": "digital_ocean_create_new_droplet",
  "args": {
    "name": "web-01",
    "region": "nyc1",
    "size": "s-2vcpu-4gb",
    "image": "ubuntu-24-04-x64"
  }
}

Create a DNS A record

{
  "tool": "digital_ocean_create_new_domain_record",
  "args": {
    "domain_name": "example.com",
    "type": "A",
    "name": "www",
    "data": "203.0.113.42"
  }
}

Create a managed database

{
  "tool": "digital_ocean_create_database_cluster",
  "args": {
    "name": "db-cluster-01",
    "engine": "pg",
    "version": "15",
    "region": "nyc1",
    "size": "db-s-2vcpu-4gb",
    "num_nodes": 1
  }
}

Discovery Workflow

1. Call clawlink_list_integrations to confirm digitalocean is connected.
2. Call clawlink_list_tools --integration digitalocean to see the live catalog.
3. Use digital_ocean_list_all_droplets to inventory existing VMs.
4. Use digital_ocean_list_database_options before creating databases.

Execution Workflow

Read path:   User asks "Show my Droplets"        -> digital_ocean_list_all_droplets
Write path:  User asks "Create a new Droplet"     -> Confirm -> digital_ocean_create_new_droplet
Delete path: User asks "Destroy Droplet X"        -> Confirm -> digital_ocean_delete_existing_droplet

Notes

• Droplet image, region, and size must be mutually compatible. Check available images with digital_ocean_list_all_images.
• Default page size is 20. Use pagination (page, per_page up to 200) for large accounts.
• VPCs cannot be deleted if they contain member resources or are the default for their region.
• Domains associated with Let's Encrypt certificates should have the cert deleted first before domain deletion.

Error Handling

Status / Error	Meaning
Tool not found	DigitalOcean integration not connected
Missing connection	Authenticate via https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=digitalocean
403 Forbidden	Insufficient permissions or rate limit exceeded
404 Not Found	Resource (Droplet, domain, etc.) does not exist
409 Conflict	Resource already exists (e.g., tag name)

Troubleshooting

Tools Not Visible

Run clawlink_list_tools --integration digitalocean to confirm the connection is active.

Droplet Creation Fails

Verify the image slug is valid for the chosen region using digital_ocean_list_all_images.
