Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Find, launch and stop private GPUs on ComputeNexa, with a quote before anything is charged.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: CNX_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: CNX_API_KEY, CNX_MCP_MAX_LAUNCH_USD

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "computenexa": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "computenexa-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CNX_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "CNX_MCP_MAX_LAUNCH_USD": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add computenexa --env CNX_API_KEY=your-value --env CNX_MCP_MAX_LAUNCH_USD=your-value -- uvx computenexa-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "computenexa": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "computenexa-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CNX_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "CNX_MCP_MAX_LAUNCH_USD": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "computenexa": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "computenexa-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CNX_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "CNX_MCP_MAX_LAUNCH_USD": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • CNX_API_KEY secret required env
    A ComputeNexa API key (dashboard, API keys): Look only, or Launch and stop
  • CNX_MCP_MAX_LAUNCH_USD env
    Most one launch, extension or renewal may cost, in US dollars

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is ComputeNexa safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: CNX_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 6 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

ComputeNexa MCP server

Let your AI assistant find, launch and stop private GPUs on ComputeNexa. Ask it *"Which GPUs with 48 GB or more are in stock?"*, *"Launch the cheapest one with Data Science for two hours"* or *"Stop it"*: it uses your team's API key, shows you what each launch costs, and only spends money after you agree.

Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and other assistants that support the Model Context Protocol. It runs on your computer and talks to the ComputeNexa API; your key stays in your own settings.

Set up

  1. In the ComputeNexa dashboard, open API keys and create a key:
  • Look only to browse GPUs, machines and spending;
  • Launch and stop to also launch, extend and stop machines.
  1. Install uv (it runs the server with uvx, no separate install needed).
  2. Add the server to your assistant (below), with your key as CNX_API_KEY.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --env CNX_API_KEY=cnxk_... --transport stdio computenexa -- uvx computenexa-mcp

Add --scope user to use it in every project.

Claude Desktop

Settings → Developer → Edit config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{

"mcpServers": { "computenexa": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["computenexa-mcp"], "env": { "CNX_API_KEY": "cnxk_..." } } } }

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json (every project) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project): the same mcpServers entry as Claude Desktop.

VS Code

.vscode/mcp.json; VS Code asks for the key once and keeps it out of the file:

{

"inputs": [ { "type": "promptString", "id": "cnx-key", "description": "ComputeNexa API key", "password": true } ], "servers": { "computenexa": { "type": "stdio", "command": "uvx", "args": ["computenexa-mcp"], "env": { "CNX_API_KEY": "${input:cnx-key}" } } } }

What it can do

A look-only key only gets the read tools (the first six rows).

Safety

  • Nothing is charged without you. launch_machine, extend_machine and set_keep_running first return a quote, e.g. *"NVIDIA RTX A6000 with the datascience app for 2 h: $1.44 charged now ($0.72/h); unused time is refunded if it stops early."* Only a second call with confirm=true and the quoted total goes ahead; if the price went up in between, it's refused.
  • A limit per call: a launch, extension or keep-running renewal costing more than $25 is refused. Change it with CNX_MCP_MAX_LAUNCH_USD (in dollars) in the server's env. Your team's GPU limit and prepaid balance still apply on top.
  • Your API key never appears in a tool result. Endpoint keys are shown only when you create an endpoint or ask for its key.
  • Tools that spend money or end a machine are marked as such, so your assistant asks before using them.

Settings
