I had 200+ CDN properties in Akamai and an agent that couldn't find any of them. Akamai's Property Manager API lists properties by group and contract, but there's no fuzzy search endpoint. If the agent doesn't know the exact property name or ID, it's stuck. The conversation dead-ends with "I couldn't find that property" and the user goes back to the Akamai control panel. So I built an MCP server that wraps Akamai's APIs. 16 tools for searching properties, browsing EdgeWorker code, querying DNS zones, inspecting network lists, and translating error codes. All read-only. I wrote about why I only build read-only MCP servers separately. Property search with a preloaded index Akamai organizes properties under groups and contracts. To search across all of them through the API, you'd iterate every group-contract pair and list properties one by one. Slow, and no fuzzy matching. The server preloads every property into an in-memory index at startup.…
