Common questions

Is Self Hosted AI safe?

It passed 0 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 6 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, HotCodePush

Sovereign AI MCP

MCP server exposing the Sovereign AI Blog to AI agents. The blog is a hands-on engineering log of self-hosted AI on NVIDIA DGX Spark (GB10/SM121A).

Live endpoint: https://mcp.sovgrid.org/self-hosted-ai Transport: Streamable HTTP (FastMCP) Auth: none (free tier, 60 req/min/IP)

Why use it

Training data on niche hardware (GB10, SM121A, SGLang on ARM64) is sparse and stale. This MCP gives agents direct, structured access to 180+ articles documenting actual setups, fixes, and benchmarks. If you're building or debugging on similar stacks, your agent can pull verified, version-current information instead of hallucinating.

The corpus covers SGLang and vLLM patches for GB10, voxtral and TTS pipelines on ARM64, KV-cache and quantization tradeoffs, podcast-grade audio generation, MCP server design, knowledge-base construction, and the operational side of running it all on a hardened European VPS.

Tools

ToolPurpose
search_blog(query, tag?, sort?, n?)TF-IDF full-text search. Optional tag filter, sort by relevance or date_desc. Empty query lists newest articles. Returns ranked SearchResult items with quality score, style, slug, and excerpt.
list_articles(tag?, sort?, limit?, offset?)Direct article listing with pagination, no TF-IDF overhead. Filter by tag, sort by date_desc, date_asc, title_asc, or quality_desc. Returns ArticleSummary items.
list_tags(sort?)List all topic tags across the corpus with article counts. Sort by count_desc (default) or alpha. Use to discover the topic space before filtering search_blog.
get_article(slug)Fetch full article body and frontmatter by slug. Returns markdown content plus tags, quality score, publish date.
diagnose_sglang(error_message)Pattern-match a runtime error against a curated rule set for SGLang on GB10/SM121A. Returns matched fixes with links to setup articles.

All tools are read-only, idempotent, and declared with ToolAnnotations so MCP clients can calibrate retry policy and trust signals. Inputs use Pydantic Annotated[type, Field(description=...)] so parameter docs reach agents through introspection. Outputs are typed BaseModel shapes — schemas are real, not vacuous dicts.

Quick start

With Claude Code
claude mcp add sovereign-ai --transport http https://mcp.sovgrid.org/self-hosted-ai

Verify:

claude mcp list | grep sovereign-ai
With Cline / Continue / other MCP clients

Add to your client's MCP server config:

{

"sovereign-ai": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.sovgrid.org/self-hosted-ai" } }

Run locally

From source (uv)
git clone https://github.com/cipherfoxie/sovereign-mcp.git

cd sovereign-mcp uv sync uv run uvicorn src.main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8002

Docker
git clone https://github.com/cipherfoxie/sovereign-mcp.git

cd sovereign-mcp docker build -t sovereign-mcp . docker run -p 8002:8002 sovereign-mcp

The repo ships a placeholder data/knowledge-base.json (zero articles, valid schema) so the server starts and answers MCP introspection cleanly out-of-the-box. To populate it with real content, generate from the sovgrid.org blog source using scripts/generate_knowledge_base.py, or build your own KB matching the schema in src/knowledge.py. Or just use the live endpoint at https://mcp.sovgrid.org/self-hosted-ai.

A walk-through of the same KB pattern (Markdown plus JSON index, no vector store) is documented in Build a Self-Hosted Knowledge Base with Plain Text and LLMs.

Architecture

  • FastMCP 1.27+ with Streamable HTTP transport at path /self-hosted-ai
  • DNS rebinding protection via TransportSecuritySettings: only allows requests with Host: mcp.sovgrid.org (or localhost for healthchecks)
  • Health endpoint at /health returns article count and KB generation timestamp
  • Knowledge base is a flat JSON file generated from blog Markdown content; loaded at startup, queried via TF-IDF for search_blog

The server is stateless. All blog content is already public (CC BY-SA 4.0). No PII, no auth tokens, no secrets.

Operations

Live deployment runs on a privacy-focused European VPS via Docker, fronted by Caddy with TLS. Server logs flow into a privacy-respecting analytics pipeline (Caddy JSON access logs, no client-side tracking, no JS pixels).
