Usage Examples

Here are some examples of how to use the server with Claude:

List all pods

Can you list all my RunPod pods?

Create a new pod

Create a new RunPod pod with the following specifications: - Name: test-pod - Image: runpod/pytorch:2.1.0-py3.10-cuda11.8.0-devel-ubuntu22.04 - GPU Type: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 - GPU Count: 1

Create a serverless endpoint

Create a RunPod serverless endpoint with the following configuration: - Name: my-endpoint - Template ID: 30zmvf89kd - Minimum workers: 0 - Maximum workers: 3

Security Considerations

This server requires your RunPod API key, which grants full access to your RunPod account. For security:

  • Never share your API key

  • Be cautious about what operations you perform

  • Consider setting up a separate API key with limited permissions

  • Don't use this in a production environment without proper security measures
