Digitalocean Managed Databases
Gives Claude the ability to provision and manage DigitalOcean's hosted database clusters across seven engines: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, Kafka, OpenSearch, and Valkey. You'd reach for this when spinning up new clusters, scaling existing ones, or configuring VPC networking and user credentials. The skill covers the full lifecycle from initial provisioning through migrations and maintenance windows. What's nice is it handles the repetitive stuff like retrieving connection strings and TLS settings so you can focus on your application logic. If you're already running infrastructure on DigitalOcean and need managed data stores without the operational overhead, this keeps everything in one place.
