Usage
This is a library of MCP tools (functions, prompts, and resources) intended for converged computing and HPC use cases. A demo server is provided here, and largely functions are expected to be used a-la-carte as imports to other libraries. We welcome contributions of all functions types that are related to HPC, converged computing, and science. These MCP tools can be used via a standalone server, or combined with other tools.
Environment
Control of tools (access, limits, etc.) is done by way of the environment.
| Name | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
HPCMCP_FILESYSTEM_SANDBOX |
enable (require) a sandbox | False |
HPCMCP_FILESYSTEM_DATA_ROOT |
if sandbox enabled, read-only data root | unset |
HPCMCP_FILESYSTEM_RESULT_ROOT |
if sandbox enabled, read and write result root for agent to write | unset |
HPCMCP_FILESYSTEM_TOKEN_LIMIT |
Hard limit of tokens to allow in response | unset |
Server
We provide examples for fastmcp and a vanilla mcp (stdio) setup. Neither requirements are added to the install directly, so it's up to the user (you) to install. Tests are performed with fastmcp (TBA)
fastmcp
You will need fastapi and fastmcp installed.
# fastmcp
pip install fastmcp fastapi
To start the demo server:
# Vanilla MCP (with cli)
echo '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "initialize", "params": {"protocolVersion": "2024-11-05", "capabilities": {}, "clientInfo": {"name": "test", "version": "1.0"}}}' | python3 -m hpc_mcp.server | jq
# Initialize and list tools
(echo '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "initialize", "params": {"protocolVersion": "2024-11-05", "capabilities": {}, "clientInfo": {"name": "manual-test", "version": "1.0"}}}';
echo '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "notifications/initialized"}';
echo '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 2, "method": "tools/list"}') | python3 -m hpc_mcp.server | jq
# FastMCP
python3 -m hpc_mcp.server.fastmcp
Testing
I will add tools to git as I write tests for them. To test, start the fastmcp server in one terminal:
python3 -m hpc_mcp.server.fastmcp
In another terminal, run the test. You'll need to pip install pytest pytest-asyncio
pytest -xs tests/test_build_docker.py
# or
pytest -xs tests/test_*.py
TODO
- Add annotated descriptions to all functions for LLM.
Tools to add:
- helpers
- debug
- result parser (regular expressions)
- kubernetes
- deploy job
- deploy minicluster
