Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@rucio-mcplist datasets for experiment ATLAS"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
rucio-mcp — one MCP server for the Rucio community
Slides for the Rucio community discussion (Indico: "Rucio Meeting", 2026-07-09) by Giordon Stark (UC Santa Cruz / SCIPP): a 15-minute pitch (12 min talk + 3 min live demo) for converging on a single, community-maintained MCP server for Rucio instead of per-experiment implementations.

The talk covers the parallel MCP efforts (Belle II's PoC by Cédric Serfon, the EIC/ePIC server used by EIC and DUNE, and rucio-mcp), what rucio-mcp provides today, the OAuth bridge and security posture, the hosted multi-experiment deployment at https://rucio-mcp.af.uchicago.edu, and an honest menu of maintenance/governance options for the community to pick from.

Sin the browser for speaker view. Every slide has notes, including the demo plan and fallback prompts.Backup slides: press the down arrow on the final slide (bridge sequence end-to-end, full tool inventory).
Edit it
pixi install && pixi run install # one-time: node env + puppeteer/decktape
# after editing presentation.html / styles.css:
pixi run check # flag any slide whose content exceeds 1280x720
pixi run screenshots # capture every slide for visual review
pixi run pdf # export slides.pdf
pixi run edit # click-to-edit text in the browser, saves back to HTMLDeploy
Pushing to main publishes presentation.html (as index.html) +

Related MCP Connectors
The Remote MCP server acts as a standardized bridge between LLM applications (like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor) and external services, enabling AI agents to access external tools and resources. Its primary capability is providing a centralized search tool to discover other MCP servers and their respective tools. Unlike local implementations, it runs remotely with OAuth authentication and permission controls for security.
