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: Accounting, finance & tax
  • You need to fill in: PARALON_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: PARALON_API_KEY

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

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx 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": {
    "paralon": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@paraloncloud/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PARALON_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add paralon --env PARALON_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y @paraloncloud/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": {
    "paralon": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@paraloncloud/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PARALON_API_KEY": "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": {
    "paralon": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@paraloncloud/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PARALON_API_KEY": "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

  • PARALON_API_KEY secret required env
    A ParalonCloud prlc_ API key: the 'rental' scope for renting, the 'nodes' scope (My nodes) for your own nodes. Create one at https://paraloncloud.com/console.

Common questions

Is ParalonCloud 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: PARALON_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 (1.5.0) reached the registry 7 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

ParalonCloud MCP server

Rent GPUs from inside your AI agent, and, if you provide GPUs, run your own nodes from it. This is an MCP server for the ParalonCloud Rental API and Provider API: it lets Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client

  • rent: browse GPUs, start a rental, get its connection URL, and stop it;
  • provide: list your nodes with live GPU load and temperature, add a node and get its install command, take a node off the market and back, set its price, reclaim a spot node, and read your earnings,

using natural language.

One key for everything: the same prlc_ key powers ParalonCloud's

OpenAI-compatible inference API. Build an

agent that calls a model and rents the GPU to run the heavy job.

Formerly @paraloncloud/mcp-rentals. That package is deprecated: switch your config to @paraloncloud/mcp.

Tools

Renting (key needs the rental scope)
ToolWhat it doesCost
list_gpusList rentable GPUs with price, VRAM, compute capability, countryfree
get_balanceYour credit balancefree
list_templatesApps a rental can start with (ComfyUI, Open WebUI with Ollama, Unsloth Studio), their version and minimumsfree
create_rentalStart a rental with JupyterLab or SSH (type: "ssh"), optionally with an app installed (template: "comfyui", "openwebui" or "unsloth"; an app with its own sign-in returns it in app.login) (async → poll)spends credits
get_rentalStatus + the JupyterLab URL or the SSH command once running, and an app's link (connection.app_url)free
list_rentalsYour active rentals (status: "all" for history)free
destroy_rentalStop a rental and stop billing—
list_ssh_keysThe SSH public keys an SSH rental installsfree
add_ssh_keySave an SSH public key (the .pub line, never the private key)free
delete_ssh_keyDelete a saved key; new SSH rentals stop accepting itfree

An SSH rental installs every saved key, so the agent can make its own key, add it, rent with type: "ssh", and run commands on the machine. Connecting needs cloudflared on the computer that holds the private key: get_rental returns the command.

Your nodes, for GPU providers (key needs the nodes scope)
ToolWhat it does
list_my_nodesYour nodes: state (available, rented, paused, offline, …), GPUs, price and its allowed range, the current rental, live per-GPU load, temperature, power and memory
get_my_nodeOne node, same fields
add_nodeAdd a node; returns the docker command that installs the agent (it holds the node's token)
get_node_install_commandThe install command of an existing node, again
set_node_availableTake a node off the market, or put it back; a running rental goes on to its end
set_node_priceSet the price in USD per hour for the node, or null for the default
update_nodeChange name, spot, availability and price in one call
reclaim_spot_nodeTake a spot node back for your own use; a spot rental on it stops in 2 minutes
get_node_accessWho can rent a node: everyone, or only the people, domains and organizations listed
set_node_accessKeep a node private for chosen renters (email, domain, organization), or open it to everyone ([])
get_earningsEarnings by day (rentals per node, inference per account) and the withdrawable balance

Payouts are not reachable from the API or this server. Deleting a node stays on the site.

Setup

1. Get a key with the right scope
  1. Create an API key in the Console.
  2. To rent, turn on GPU rentals for that key (rentals are opt-in), and optionally set Max rentals running at once as a safety cap.
  3. To manage your own nodes, turn on My nodes. One key can have both.

Use a dedicated key for the agent, not your production key.

2. Add it to your MCP client

The client passes your key via the PARALON_API_KEY env var — you never edit the server.

Claude Desktop — claude_desktop_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "paraloncloud": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@paraloncloud/mcp"], "env": { "PARALON_API_KEY": "prlc_your_key_here" } } } }

Claude Code — one command:

claude mcp add paraloncloud \

--env PARALON_API_KEY=prlc_your_key_here \ -- npx -y @paraloncloud/mcp

Cursor — .cursor/mcp.json (same shape as Claude Desktop above).

Optional env: PARALON_BASE_URL (defaults to https://paraloncloud.com/api/v1).

3. Try it

"List the cheapest GPUs I can rent, then start a 2-hour Jupyter rental on one with at least 24GB of VRAM."

The agent calls list_gpus, picks a node, and calls create_rental with hours: 2. It then polls get_rental for the Jupyter URL. Say "stop it" and it calls destroy_rental.

"Rent a 4090 over SSH, run nvidia-smi on it, then stop it."

The agent makes a key with ssh-keygen, saves it with add_ssh_key, picks a node with ssh: true, starts it with type: "ssh", runs the command get_rental returns, and stops it.

"Start ComfyUI on a GPU with 24 GB for an hour and give me the link."

The agent calls list_templates, picks a node whose templates has comfyui, starts it with template: "comfyui" and hours: 1, and hands you connection.app_url from get_rental once the app answers, a minute or two after the machine.

As a provider:

"How are my nodes doing? Is any GPU running hot?"

"Take rig-2 off the market for the afternoon, and set rig-1 to $0.60 an hour."

"How much did I earn this week, and from which node?"

Safety

  • create_rental and destroy_rental change what you're billed — your MCP client will ask you to approve them (Claude Code/Desktop confirm tool calls by default). Keep that on.
  • create_rental auto-generates an idempotency key, so a retried call never starts a second GPU.
  • Pass hours so a rental auto-stops even if the agent forgets to.
  • The key's max_active_rentals limit (set in the Console) caps concurrency regardless.
  • The node tools that change something (add_node, set_node_available, set_node_price, update_node, reclaim_spot_node, set_node_access) tell the agent to confirm with you first; reclaim_spot_node stops a renter's spot rental two minutes later.
  • add_node and get_node_install_command return a command with the node's secret token: keep it private.
  • Give the agent a key with only the scopes it needs.

Test

npm install

PARALON_API_KEY=prlc_your_key_here node smoke-test.mjs

It calls the read-only tools, and the node tools only on a node that does not exist, so it changes nothing.

Run locally (dev)

PARALON_API_KEY=prlc_your_key_here node server.js
