novita

Novita MCP Server provides a set of MCP endpoints to manage Novita AI platform resources, currently focusing on GPU instance management. It exposes operations to list clusters/regions, list available GPU products, and perform lifecycle actions on GPU instances (List, Get, Create, Start, Stop, Delete, Restart), along with templates, container registry authentication, and network storage management. You can connect this MCP server to Claude Desktop, Cursor, or other MCP clients to issue model-context operations against your Novita resources. To use it, configure your MCP client with the provided server and your Novita API key, then perform the available actions through the MCP API surface. The server is in beta and may evolve to include additional resource types in future releases.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js and npm installed on your system
• Access to the internet to install packages

Option 1: Install via npm

1. Install the MCP server globally: npm install -g @novitalabs/novita-mcp-server

2. Start the server (example, adjust as needed): novita-mcp-server

Option 2: Install via Smithery

1. Visit the Smithery page for the server and follow the installation instructions: https://smithery.ai/server/@novitalabs/novita-mcp-server

2. Complete the installation steps as guided by Smithery.

Configuration:

• After installation, obtain your Novita API key from Novita AI Key Management: https://novita.ai/settings/key-management
• Configure the MCP client with the server details and your API key (see mcp_config example in the README).

Test:

• Run tests if you clone the repository locally: npm test

Notes:

• The server is currently beta and primarily supports GPU instance management. Other resource types may be added in future releases.
• Ensure your NOVITA_API_KEY is kept secure and not committed to source control.
• When using Clarke Desktop or Cursor, refer to their MCP Quickstart guides for configuring the server endpoint and authentication.
• If you encounter connectivity or authentication issues, verify network access to Novita services and that the API key is valid.
