Add the server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "runpod": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/runpod-mcp-server/build/index.js"],

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
