Novita

You can manage Novita AI GPU resources through a dedicated MCP server that connects your MCP client to the Novita platform. This server lets you list, create, start, stop, and manage GPU instances, templates, clusters, networks, and more from your MCP-enabled client. It’s designed to streamline resource control across your cloud regions and product offerings.

How to use

Use your MCP client (such as Claude Desktop or Cursor) to connect to the novita MCP server you configured. With this server, you can list available clusters, products, and GPU instances, and perform lifecycle actions on GPU instances (create, start, stop, restart, delete). You can also manage templates, container registry authentication entries, and network storage.

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have Node.js and npm installed on your system.

Install the MCP server using npm:

npm install -g @novitalabs/novita-mcp-server

Alternatively, install using Smithery by following the installation instructions for the novita-mcp-server on Smithery.

# Smithery command would be used here if you are following that path

Configure the MCP server in your client by providing your Novita API key. The configuration below demonstrates how to run the MCP server via npx and pass your API key as an environment variable.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "novita_mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@novitalabs/novita-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "NOVITA_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Additional notes and tips

Updated on beta: current release supports GPU instance management and related resources. Other resource types will be added in future releases.
