GPU Server
MCP server for GPU monitoring: nvidia-smi, VRAM, utilization, temperature
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
gpu-serverclaude mcp add gpu-server -- uvx gpu-server==0.2.2
{
"mcpServers": {
"gpu-server": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"gpu-server==0.2.2"
]
}
}
}

mcp-gpu-server
An MCP server that exposes NVIDIA GPU metrics as tools. Once connected, any MCP-compatible client can query your GPU status in real time directly from a conversation.
What it does
Instead of running nvidia-smi manually, you ask your AI assistant and it calls these tools automatically:
gpu_info GPU name, driver version, CUDA version gpu_utilization core utilization % and memory controller busy % gpu_vram total, used, free VRAM in MiB and usage % gpu_temperature GPU core temperature in Celsius gpu_stats everything above in one call
Example response from gpu_stats:
{ "count": 1, "gpus": [{ "index": 0, "name": "NVIDIA L40S", "driver": "580.126.09", "cuda": "13.0", "temp_c": 29, "gpu_pct": 0, "mem_pct": 0, "vram": { "total_mib": 46068, "used_mib": 610, "free_mib": 45457, "pct": 1.3 } }] }
How it works
Queries NVML (pynvml) directly when available. Falls back to nvidia-smi subprocess if NVML is not accessible. Returns clean JSON in both cases. The nvidia-smi query does not include the CUDA version, so cuda is null on that path.
Install
pip install gpu-server
The package moved from mcp-gpu-server to gpu-server on PyPI in 0.2.1. The old name is frozen at 0.1.3, which does not start with mcp 2.x. The mcp-gpu-server command still works, and since 0.2.2 gpu-server does too.
Listed on the official MCP Registry as io.github.moezdil/mcp-gpu-server.
Connect to your MCP client
Add this to your MCP client config file:
{ "mcpServers": { "gpu": { "command": "mcp-gpu-server" } } }
Or without installing anything, using uv:
{ "mcpServers": { "gpu": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["gpu-server"] } } }
Run tests
uv run pytest tests/test_server.py # no GPU needed uv run python tests/test_gpu.py # on a GPU host
Tested on real hardware
Release 0.2.2 was installed from PyPI into a clean virtual environment on a Linux host and tested against a real GPU on 2026-10-21.
| GPU | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, 24 GB |
| Driver / CUDA | 580.178.04 / 13.0 |
| Python | 3.14.4 |
| Packages | gpu-server 0.2.2, mcp 2.3.0, nvidia-ml-py 13.615.71 |
Install the published package and run the GPU integration test:
python3 -m venv venv venv/bin/pip install gpu-server==0.2.2 git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/moezdil/mcp-gpu-server.git repo venv/bin/python repo/tests/test_gpu.py
Result: all 37 checks passed. They exercise the NVML path; the nvidia-smi fallback is only checked for presence, not parsed.
Then call every tool through a real MCP client over stdio:
import anyio, json, sys from mcp import Client, StdioServerParameters
async def main(): async with Client(StdioServerParameters(command=sys.argv[1])) as c: print("protocol:", c.protocol_version) for t in (await c.list_tools()).tools: r = await c.call_tool(t.name, {}) print(t.name, t.annotations.read_only_hint, json.dumps(r.structured_content))
anyio.run(main)
Saved as e2e.py and run with venv/bin/python e2e.py venv/bin/gpu-server. Result: the client and server negotiated protocol 2026-07-28, all five tools are listed as read-only, and every call returned structured content without errors:
gpu_stats {"count": 1, "gpus": [{"index": 0, "name": "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090", "driver": "580.178.04", "cuda": "13.0", "temp_c": 42, "gpu_pct": 0, "mem_pct": 0, "vram": {"total_mib": 24576, "used_mib": 451, "free_mib": 24124, "pct": 1.8}}]}
Requirements
Python 3.10 or higher, MCP Python SDK 2.x. NVIDIA GPU with drivers installed on the host machine.

Frequently asked questions
What is GPU Server?
MCP server for GPU monitoring: nvidia-smi, VRAM, utilization, temperature
How do I install GPU Server?
It runs on your machine. In Claude Code: claude mcp add gpu-server -- uvx gpu-server==0.2.2. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does GPU Server need an API key?
Its registry entry lists no required key or secret. Some features may still need an account with the service it connects to.
Is GPU Server open source?
Its code is public on GitHub, but the repository does not declare a standard license.
Who maintains GPU Server?
It is published by moezdil. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
