Монитор GPU Claude ROCm

Мониторинг AMD GPU в режиме только для чтения для Claude Desktop на Linux. Позволяет Claude отвечать на вопросы вроде: «стабильно ли проходит мое обучение?», «насколько горячий GPU?», «сколько осталось VRAM?» и «какой процесс использует карту?» — и все это без возможности завершать процессы, изменять частоты или иным образом влиять на рабочую нагрузку.

Инструмент обращается к rocm-smi (и опционально amdgpu_top) и предоставляет пять инструментов строго в режиме только для чтения. Никакого завершения процессов, переопределения частот/питания или управления вентиляторами. Для этих целей используйте инструменты вроде gpu-kill.

Требования

  • Linux с GPU AMD (потребительские карты RDNA2/3/4 — RX 6000/7000/9000, R9700 — и карты для дата-центров CDNA).

  • Загруженный модуль ядра amdgpu (стандарт для современных Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora).

  • Установленный rocm-smi:

    sudo apt install rocm-smi            # minimal
    # or a full ROCm stack:
    # https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/

Некоторые метрики (частоты, питание, подробные температуры) требуют новых версий ROCm. Если метрика не поддерживается вашей картой/драйвером, инструмент вернет null вместо ошибки.

Установка (Claude Desktop)

  1. Скачайте последний файл ROCm.mcpb со страницы Releases.

  2. В Claude Desktop откройте Settings → Extensions.

  3. Прокрутите вниз до Extension Developer, нажмите Install Extension и выберите файл .mcpb.

  4. Включите расширение. Инструменты появятся с префиксом rocm-gpu-monitor: в меню выбора инструментов Claude.

Инструменты

Инструмент

Что он делает

gpu_status

Краткая сводка: название, % использования, занятая/общая VRAM, температуры (край/переход/память), среднее/макс. питание, %/RPM вентилятора.

gpu_metrics

Полный дамп rocm-smi -a --json — частоты, напряжения, PCIe link, версии прошивки, активность по движкам.

gpu_processes

Вычислительные процессы, использующие GPU (KFD PIDs), с использованием VRAM и индексом карты.

gpu_watch

Выполняет N замеров с фиксированным интервалом и возвращает необработанные данные плюс статистику (мин/макс/среднее) по каждой карте.

rocm_info

Установленные пакеты ROCm/HIP, версия драйвера, статус загрузки модуля amdgpu, доступность amdgpu_top.

Все инструменты содержат аннотации MCP readOnlyHint: true / destructiveHint: false / openWorldHint: false.

Примеры запросов

«Стабильно ли проходит мое обучение? Понаблюдай за GPU в течение 20 секунд.»

«Сколько VRAM использует мой текущий процесс PyTorch?»

«Есть ли у GPU тепловой троттлинг? Какая температура перехода (junction temperature)?»

«Какая версия ROCm установлена и загружен ли драйвер?»

Политика конфиденциальности

Это расширение работает полностью на вашем локальном компьютере и обращается только к следующим программам, всегда в режиме только для чтения:

  • rocm-smi — запрашивает у драйвера ядра AMD метрики устройства.

  • amdgpu_top (если установлен) — опционально более богатые метрики.

  • dpkg -l — перечисляет установленные пакеты, связанные с ROCm, по имени/версии.

  • lsmod — проверяет, загружен ли модуль ядра amdgpu.

  • which — находит вышеуказанные бинарные файлы при запуске.

Никакие данные не покидают ваш компьютер. Это расширение не выполняет сетевой ввод-вывод, не открывает сокеты и не записывает файлы вне стандартного stdout/stderr процесса (захватывается директорией логов Claude Desktop). Оно не может изменять состояние GPU (частоты, питание, вентилятор), завершать процессы или иным образом влиять на рабочую нагрузку — каждый инструмент строго работает только для чтения.

Информация, доступная Claude, включает модель GPU и версии прошивки, текущее использование VRAM, показания температуры/частоты/питания, PID запущенных процессов, использующих GPU, и их использование VRAM, а также список установленных пакетов, связанных с ROCm. Если вы считаете что-то из этого конфиденциальным (например, список PID запущенных процессов на общем компьютере), не включайте это расширение.

Устранение неполадок

«rocm-smi is not installed» — установите его (sudo apt install rocm-smi). Если вы используете дистрибутив, отличный от Debian, следуйте инструкциям AMD по установке ROCm.

Многие поля возвращаются как null на новой GPU — некоторые метрики (частоты, питание, температура) зависят от поддержки прошивки, предоставляемой через rocm-smi. На очень новых картах (например, RDNA4/R9700) отдельные команды rocm-smi --showclocks/--showpower могут сообщать «No JSON data to report», даже если -a --json возвращает данные. Это расширение использует -a --json как основной источник для максимального охвата. Если конкретное поле не поддерживается вашей картой, оно будет null, а не ошибкой.

Ошибки прав доступа — rocm-smi обычно работает без root-прав. Если вы видите ошибки прав доступа, убедитесь, что пользователь, запускающий Claude Desktop, входит в группы render и video:

sudo usermod -aG render,video $USER
# log out and back in

Available Tools

5 tools
gpu_metricsA
Read-only

Full rocm-smi -a --json output for every GPU (clocks, voltages, PCIe link width/speed, firmware versions, per-engine activity, throttle status, energy counters). Use when gpu_status is not enough. The shape is rocm-smi’s native JSON, unmodified.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already mark readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds context about the tool being a full dump (clocks, voltages, PCIe, firmware, etc.) and that the output is unmodified, which is helpful beyond annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, front-loading the core purpose and details. Every sentence adds value: first defines tool, second provides usage guidance. No wasted words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no parameters and no output schema, the description sufficiently explains what the tool returns (full rocm-smi -a --json output) and when to use it. Annotations complement the read-only nature. Complete for a simple metrics tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has no parameters, and schema coverage is 100%. With zero params, the description does not need to add parameter info. Baseline of 4 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool returns full rocm-smi -a --json output for every GPU with specific fields listed. It distinguishes from sibling tools by indicating when to use it (when gpu_status is not enough).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly states 'Use when gpu_status is not enough', providing clear guidance on when to prefer this tool over alternatives. Also notes the output shape is unmodified rocm-smi JSON.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

gpu_processesA
Read-only

List compute processes using the GPU (KFD PIDs) with their VRAM usage and card index. Returns an empty list when no compute workloads are running.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Description adds behavioral context beyond annotations (e.g., returns empty list when no workloads) and confirms read-only nature. No contradictions.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two succinct sentences covering purpose and behavior, front-loaded with the action, no unnecessary words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Without output schema, the description outlines return content (compute processes, VRAM, card index) and edge case. Could specify field details, but adequate for such a simple tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

No parameters exist, so baseline 4 applies. Description need not add parameter info.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses specific verb 'List' and resource 'compute processes using the GPU (KFD PIDs)', clearly distinguishing it from siblings like gpu_metrics or gpu_status.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., gpu_watch, rocm_info), and no exclusions or prerequisites mentioned.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

gpu_statusA
Read-only

One-shot summary of all AMD GPUs: product name, GPU utilization %, VRAM used/total bytes and %, edge/junction/memory temperatures, average and max power, fan speed % and RPM. Returns one entry per card. Fields that the card does not support are returned as null (not omitted).

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. Description adds that unsupported fields return null, which is useful but not extensive. No contradiction.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single concise sentence listing all fields. No wasted words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite no output schema, description explains return structure (one entry per card, null for unsupported fields). Complete for the tool's simplicity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

No parameters, schema coverage 100% trivially. Description doesn't add parameter meaning, but none needed. Baseline 4 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states it provides a 'one-shot summary of all AMD GPUs' and lists specific fields, distinguishing it from siblings like gpu_metrics which likely provide more detailed historical data.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit when-to-use or alternatives mentioned. The description implies it is for a quick overview, but does not guide against using other tools for specific needs.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

gpu_watchA
Read-only

Take N snapshots of gpu_status at a fixed interval and return both the raw frames and per-card min/max/avg statistics for utilization, temperature, power, and VRAM usage. Useful for answering “is this training run stable?”. Default: 5 samples at 1000ms intervals.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
samplesNoNumber of samples to take (2–60). Default: 5.
interval_msNoMilliseconds between samples (100–10000). Default: 1000.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so no contradiction. Description adds that it returns raw and aggregated data, but omits that the tool blocks for the total sampling duration, which is important for agent planning.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences with no fluff: purpose, use case, and defaults are front-loaded efficiently.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 2 params with full schema coverage, no output schema, and sibling tools, the description adequately explains input, output (raw and stats), and use case. Lacks return structure details but acceptable.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with clear parameter descriptions including defaults. The tool description does not add meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it takes N snapshots of gpu_status at intervals and returns raw frames plus per-card statistics, distinguishing it from siblings like gpu_status (single snapshot) and gpu_metrics (single metrics).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It provides a specific use case ('is this training run stable?') and default parameters, implying when to use it. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

rocm_infoA
Read-only

Report the rocm-smi version, kernel driver version, whether the amdgpu module is loaded, installed ROCm/HIP/HSA packages (from dpkg), and whether amdgpu_top is available. Useful for checking ROCm install health before running workloads.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds detail on exactly what is reported (versions, packages, etc.), providing behavioral context beyond the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence efficiently lists all reported information and includes a usage note. Every word earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple info tool with no output schema, the description adequately covers purpose and content. Could optionally mention return format, but not necessary.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Tool has zero parameters, so schema covers all. Description adds no parameter info, but this is acceptable given no params. Baseline 4 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses the specific verb 'Report' and lists concrete items (rocm-smi version, kernel driver, etc.), clearly distinguishing this from sibling tools that focus on metrics, processes, or status.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

States explicit use case: 'checking ROCm install health before running workloads.' This guides the agent on when to invoke. While it doesn't explicitly mention alternatives, the context is clear enough.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 5 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool serves a distinct purpose: raw metrics, summary status, process listing, time-series snapshots, and install health check. No overlap in functionality.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent snake_case pattern with a clear noun-based prefix (gpu_ or rocm_), making them predictable and easy to distinguish.

Tool Count5/5

Five tools is appropriate for a monitoring-focused server, covering essential needs without being excessive or insufficient.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers core monitoring, process insight, and installation health, but lacks a way to reset or configure GPU parameters, though that may be out of scope.
