Nomad
Nomad connects AI agents to scientific foundation models (SciFMs). It serves PyTorch-backed scientific tools over the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and it can also expose MCP tools as typed Python callables inside a code-execution sandbox.

What Nomad does
- Serve SciFMs and regular Python tools over MCP with
nomad serve. - Load model artifacts from Hugging Face, local storage, or Git/Git LFS.
- Proxy MCP servers into a Python sandbox with
nomad code-modeandnomad code-mode-exec. - Support both local workflows and hosting models on remote GPU servers.
Install
Nomad requires Python 3.12 or newer.
For CLI use:
uv tool install --python 3.13 nomad-scifm
nomad --help
For development from a checkout:
uv sync --all-groups
uv run nomad --help
Quick start
Launch the example server directly in MCP Inspector using stdio:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector -- \
uv run --directory container/demo \
nomad serve nomad.yml
For the HTTP workflow and matching URSA configs, see Starting a Nomad server and Connect to a hosted Nomad server.
