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.

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
