Overview

What is RunPod?

RunPod is an MCP server that exposes tools for managing RunPod cloud resources—pods, serverless endpoints, templates, network volumes, and container registry authentications—through natural language prompts in Claude or any MCP‑compatible client.

How to use RunPod?

Install Node.js 18+, clone the repo, run npm install and npm build, then set the RUNPOD_API_KEY environment variable with your key from the RunPod console. Start the server with npm start. For Claude for Desktop, add a runpod entry to the MCP servers configuration JSON, pointing to the built index.js and including the API key in the env object.

Frequently asked questions

1

What are the prerequisites for using RunPod?

Node.js 18 or higher, a RunPod account, a valid RunPod API key, and an MCP‑compatible client such as Claude for Desktop.

2

How do I set my RunPod API key?

Set the `RUNPOD_API_KEY` environment variable in your shell or in the Claude for Desktop configuration JSON under the server’s `env` object.

3

Where can I get my RunPod API key?

Retrieve it from the RunPod console at [https://www.runpod.io/console/user/settings](https://www.runpod.io/console/user/settings).

4

How do I run RunPod with Claude for Desktop?

Edit the Claude config file (`claude_desktop_config.json`) and add a `runpod` entry referencing the built `index.js` file and your API key, then restart Claude for Desktop.

5

Is RunPod safe for production use?

The server grants full account access via your API key. The README recommends never sharing the key, using limited‑permission keys, and not deploying to production without proper security measures.
