+The [Akamai Model Context Protocol (MCP) Gateway](https://techdocs.akamai.com/mcp-gateway/docs/welcome) is a managed service that helps you bridge AI agents and applications with the Akamai product ecosystem. This Quick Deploy App configures Claude to use Akamai's MCP Gateway so that you can interact with Akamai APIs from Claude. In order to deploy this app, you first need an [Akamai MCP Gateway JWT](https://techdocs.akamai.com/mcp-gateway/docs/configure-the-mcp-server-endpoint) token.

+
+## Getting Started after Deployment
+
+### Configure Claude Code
+
+Complete these steps on the Linode instance to authenticate to your Anthropic account:
+
+1.  Log into the Linode instance:
+
+    ```command
+    ssh {{< placeholder "YOUR_LINODE_USERNAME" >}}@{{< placeholder "YOUR_LINODE_IP" >}}
+    ```
+
+    Replace {{< placeholder "YOUR_LINODE_IP" >}} with the IP address of the new Linode instance, and replace {{< placeholder "YOUR_LINODE_USERNAME" >}} with the sudo user you configured when the Quick Deploy App was deployed.
+
+1.  After you log in, note the [motd](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/motd.5.html):
+
+    ```output
+    *********************************************************
+    Akamai MCP Gateway Client
+    Credentials File: /home/admin/.credentials
+    Documentation: https://www.linode.com/docs/marketplace-docs/guides/akamai-mcp-gateway
+    *********************************************************
+    ```
+
+    Open and copy the sudo password from `~/.credentials.txt`, which is used in the next step.
+
+1. Switch to the root user:
+
+    ```command
+    sudo su -
+    ```
+
+    This command prompts you for your sudo password. Paste the sudo password from the `~/.credentials.txt` file.
+
+1. Authenticate to Anthropic by running the `claude` executable:
+
+    ```command
+    claude
+    ```
+
+    Complete the initial configuration that you are prompted with by Claude.
+
+### Verify Akamai MCP Gateway Status
+
+Confirm that the Akamai MCP Gateway is connected:
+
+```command
+claude mcp get akamai
+```
+
+Output like the following should appear:
+
+```output
+akamai:
+  Scope: User config (available in all your projects)
+  Status: ✓ Connected
+  Type: http
+  URL: https://mcp.akamai.com/mcp?token=**********
+```
