Compute Resources MCP Server

MCP server for ACCESS-CI compute resources including hardware specifications, capabilities, and configurations.

Usage Examples

Discovery & Search

"List all GPU resources"
"Resources at NCSA"
"Cloud computing systems"
"Delta hardware specifications"

Recommendations

"Recommend a resource for machine learning with GPUs"
"What system should I use for molecular dynamics?"
"Best resource for a beginner doing genomics analysis"

Tools

search_resources

Search and filter ACCESS-CI compute resources. Returns resource IDs usable by other ACCESS-CI services.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
id	string	Get specific resource (e.g., "delta.ncsa.access-ci.org")
query	string	Search names, descriptions, organizations
type	enum	Filter: compute, storage, cloud, gpu, cpu
has_gpu	boolean	Filter for GPU resources
organization	string	Filter by org: NCSA, PSC, Purdue, SDSC, TACC
limit	number	Max results (default: 50)

Examples:

// List all resources
search_resources({})

// Get specific resource
search_resources({ id: "expanse.sdsc.access-ci.org" })

// Find GPU resources at NCSA
search_resources({ has_gpu: true, organization: "NCSA" })

get_resource_hardware

Get detailed hardware specs (CPU, GPU, memory, storage) for a resource.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
id	string	Resource ID (required)

Example:

get_resource_hardware({ id: "delta.ncsa.access-ci.org" })

Prompts

recommend_compute_resource

Get personalized resource recommendations based on research needs.

Arguments:

Argument	Required	Description
research_area	Yes	Field of research (e.g., "machine learning", "molecular dynamics")
compute_needs	Yes	Requirements (e.g., "GPU for training transformers", "high memory for genome assembly")
experience_level	No	HPC experience: beginner, intermediate, advanced
allocation_size	No	Scale needed (e.g., "small pilot project", "large-scale production")
