Who it is for
Developers who want Codex running on a remote machine instead of a local one.
Overview
What DigitalOcean does
The DigitalOcean app has one defined job: setting up a droplet that Codex can then use as a remote workspace over SSH. Both provisioning and configuration run through a connected DigitalOcean account.
One skill ships with it, provision-droplet, and the listed capabilities are interactive and write. The example prompt restates the task almost exactly, asking for a droplet prepared for Codex.
Nothing broader about DigitalOcean account management appears in the record: no droplet monitoring, billing, or networking administration is described. DigitalOcean publishes the app, and it is listed under developer tools.
What stands out
It performs a single provisioning task rather than exposing a cloud provider's whole account surface.
Availability
Where DigitalOcean is listed
DigitalOcean is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory only. DigitalOcean has no connector under the same domain in the Claude directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
ChatGPT apps are built on MCP, and the same server can back a Claude connector, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
