readonly-mcp-akamai

Read-only MCP server for Akamai CDN. Search properties, browse EdgeWorker code, query DNS zones, inspect network lists, and translate error codes.

Read-only by design. This server can only read data. It cannot create, modify, delete, activate, deactivate, or purge anything. See blog.wentland.io for the rationale.

Tools

Properties (CDN configurations)

Tool	Description
`search_properties`	Fuzzy search CDN properties by name. Uses a preloaded in-memory index refreshed every 5 minutes.
`get_property_details`	Get property versions, hostnames, and activation status.
`get_property_rules`	Get the rule tree for a property version — the full CDN configuration.
`get_property_activations`	List deployment history for a property.

DNS

Tool	Description
`list_dns_zones`	List all DNS zones, optionally filtered by name or type.
`search_dns_records`	Search DNS records within a zone by name or record type.

EdgeWorkers (serverless functions)

Tool	Description
`list_edgeworkers`	List all EdgeWorker IDs with names and descriptions.
`list_edgeworker_versions`	List versions for an EdgeWorker.
`get_edgeworker_files`	Download a version's code bundle and list all files. Cached in memory.
`get_edgeworker_file`	Read a specific file from a cached bundle with line-range support.
`search_edgeworker_code`	Regex search across all files in a cached bundle.

Network Lists

Tool	Description
`search_network_lists`	Search network lists (IP allowlists, blocklists, geo lists) by name.
`get_network_list`	Get the full contents of a network list.

Utility

Tool	Description
`list_groups`	List account groups in the Akamai hierarchy.
`list_cp_codes`	List CP codes (billing/reporting identifiers) for a contract and group.
`translate_error_code`	Translate Akamai reference error codes to human-readable descriptions.
