Which integrations are available for this server?

Provides tools for managing Kubernetes infrastructure via SkyPilot, including querying node resources, GPU availability, labeling GPU nodes, and listing all SkyPilot resources in a Kubernetes cluster.

How do I use skypilot-mcp?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@skypilot-mcp show me the status of all clusters" 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.

skypilot-mcp

MCP server for SkyPilot. Lets LLMs manage cloud clusters, jobs, and storage through the Model Context Protocol.

Built with fastmcp v3.

Setup

Requires Python 3.10+.

# Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope project skypilot -- \
  uvx --from git+https://github.com/alex000kim/skypilot-mcp skypilot-mcp

# With a remote SkyPilot API server
claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope project \
  --env SKYPILOT_API_SERVER_ENDPOINT=http://your-server:46580 \
  skypilot -- \
  uvx --from git+https://github.com/alex000kim/skypilot-mcp skypilot-mcp

For Claude Desktop, add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skypilot": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/alex000kim/skypilot-mcp", "skypilot-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Using in your own repos

This repo includes a .mcp.json file. Copy it into any repo that contains SkyPilot task YAMLs, and coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) working in that repo will automatically have access to all SkyPilot MCP tools — launching clusters, submitting jobs, checking status, and more — without any manual setup.

cp .mcp.json /path/to/your-skypilot-project/

How it works

Long-running operations (launch, exec, stop, down, start, etc.) return a request_id immediately. Use skypilot_get_request with that ID to poll for the result. Read-only operations like status, queue, and cost_report block and return results directly.

The server uses SkyPilot's sync Python SDK. fastmcp runs sync tools in a threadpool, so nothing blocks the event loop.

API server configuration

The MCP server connects to whatever SkyPilot API server your environment is configured for:

Local (default): SkyPilot auto-starts a local API server on first use
Remote: Set SKYPILOT_API_SERVER_ENDPOINT env var or configure ~/.sky/config.yaml

Development

git clone https://github.com/alex000kim/skypilot-mcp
cd skypilot-mcp
uv sync --extra dev
uv run pre-commit install
uv run pytest

Run the server locally:

# stdio (default)
uv run skypilot-mcp

# HTTP
uv run skypilot-mcp --transport http --port 8000
