XDMoD MCP Server

MCP server for public XDMoD data: charts, visualizations, metadata discovery, and dimension values from the XDMoD (XD Metrics on Demand) Usage Analytics API.

Usage Examples

Charts & Visualizations

"CPU hours chart for January 2024 (PNG)"
"Job count data for last 30 days"
"GPU usage SVG chart grouped by resource"
"Average wait time visualization for Q1 2024"
"XDMoD portal link for CPU hours chart"
"Interactive GPU usage view in portal"
"Job count chart link for Bridges-2"

Tools

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
realmstringThe realm (e.g., "Jobs", "SUPREMM")
group_bystringThe group by field (e.g., "none", "resource")
statisticstringThe statistic name (e.g., "total_cpu_hours", "gpu_time")

Understanding Realms

XDMoD organizes metrics into different realms:

Jobs Realm

Basic job accounting and resource usage metrics:

  • total_cpu_hours - Total CPU Hours
  • job_count - Number of Jobs Ended
  • avg_cpu_hours - Average CPU Hours per Job
  • total_waitduration_hours - Total Wait Duration Hours
  • avg_waitduration_hours - Average Wait Duration Hours
  • max_processors - Maximum Processor Count
  • total_ace - ACCESS Credit Equivalents Charged
  • utilization - ACCESS CPU Utilization

SUPREMM Realm

Detailed performance analytics and system metrics:

  • gpu_time - GPU Hours: Total
  • avg_percent_gpu_usage - Avg GPU usage
  • wall_time - CPU Hours: Total
  • cpu_time_user - CPU Hours: User: Total
  • avg_percent_cpu_user - Avg CPU %: User
  • avg_flops_per_core - Avg FLOPS: Per Core
  • avg_memory_per_core - Avg Memory: Per Core
  • avg_ib_rx_bytes - Avg InfiniBand rate: Per Node

Note: For GPU metrics, always use the SUPREMM realm.

Installation

bash
npm install -g @access-mcp/xdmod

Configuration

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xdmod": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@access-mcp/xdmod"]
    }
  }
}

No authentication required - the server accesses publicly available system-wide metrics data.
