Joblet MCP Server

MCP server for Joblet job orchestration - enables AI assistants to manage distributed computing jobs through the Joblet platform.

Quick Start

# Install (SDK mode - recommended)
pip install joblet-mcp-server[sdk]

# Configure (~/.rnx/rnx-config.yml)
mkdir -p ~/.rnx
cp sample_config.yaml ~/.rnx/rnx-config.yml
# Edit with your Joblet server credentials

# Run (SDK mode)
joblet-mcp-server

Features

• Jobs - Run, monitor, and manage compute jobs

• Workflows - Orchestrate multi-job pipelines

• Storage - Create and manage persistent volumes

• Networks - Configure isolated networks

• Monitoring - Real-time metrics and GPU status

Implementation Modes

The MCP server provides two implementations for communicating with Joblet:

1. SDK Mode (Recommended)

Command: joblet-mcp-server

Uses joblet-sdk-python for direct gRPC communication with the Joblet server.

Advantages:

• Better performance (direct gRPC, no subprocess overhead)

• Type safety and error handling

• Automatic connection management

• Streams data efficiently

Requirements:

• Install with SDK: pip install joblet-mcp-server[sdk]

• Requires joblet-sdk-python >= 2.0.0 (proto v2.3.0+)

2. CLI Mode (Alternative)

Command: joblet-mcp-server-cli

Uses subprocess calls to the rnx CLI binary.

Advantages:

• Works without Python SDK

• Uses existing CLI tools

• Simpler deployment if rnx already installed

Requirements:

• Install without SDK: pip install joblet-mcp-server

• Requires rnx binary in PATH or specify with --rnx-binary

• Configure via ~/.rnx/rnx-config.yml

Usage:

# Use rnx from PATH
joblet-mcp-server-cli

# Specify custom rnx binary location
joblet-mcp-server-cli --rnx-binary /path/to/rnx

Configuration

Create ~/.rnx/rnx-config.yml:

version: "3.0"
nodes:
  default:
    address: "joblet-server.com:50051"
    cert: |
      -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
      # Your client certificate
      -----END CERTIFICATE-----
    key: |
      -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
      # Your private key
      -----END PRIVATE KEY-----
    ca: |
      -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
      # Your CA certificate
      -----END CERTIFICATE-----
