Install Akamai CDN in Claude Code

What you need first

  • Claude Code, installed.
  • uv, which gives the uvx command the server starts with.
  • Your own values for YOUR_AKAMAI_HOST,YOUR_AKAMAI_CLIENT_TOKEN,YOUR_AKAMAI_CLIENT_SECRET,YOUR_AKAMAI_ACCESS_TOKEN.

Steps

  1. Run this in a terminal, in the project folder. It adds the server for you in that project; put --scope user after claude mcp add to have it in every project.
claude mcp add --env AKAMAI_HOST=YOUR_AKAMAI_HOST --env AKAMAI_CLIENT_TOKEN=YOUR_AKAMAI_CLIENT_TOKEN --env AKAMAI_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_AKAMAI_CLIENT_SECRET --env AKAMAI_ACCESS_TOKEN=YOUR_AKAMAI_ACCESS_TOKEN --transport stdio akamai -- uvx readonly-mcp-akamai==0.1.1
  1. Replace YOUR_AKAMAI_HOST,YOUR_AKAMAI_CLIENT_TOKEN,YOUR_AKAMAI_CLIENT_SECRET,YOUR_AKAMAI_ACCESS_TOKEN with your own values.
  2. Start Claude Code and type /mcp: the server is listed with its state.

Check it worked

Ask Claude Code: List the tools of akamai.

If it does not start

spawn uvx ENOENT
uv is not on the PATH that Claude Code sees. Install it, or write the full path of uvx in the config.
The server starts, but its tools fail
A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
