Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Massed Compute every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
Connect this server
Endpoint below is the one we actually reach during checks — not the one copied from a README. Last verified 11 min ago.

Available tools 17
Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
instances
instances_get
Retrieve a single running VM instance by its UUID. Sensitive credentials (e.g. cleartext VM password) are redacted; fetch them through the REST API if needed.
instances_launch
Deploy a new VM instance. Requires billing to be configured (recharge amount and threshold). This action incurs cost.
instances_list
Retrieve all running VM instances for the authenticated account. Sensitive credentials (e.g. cleartext VM password) are redacted; fetch them through the REST API if needed.
instances_restart
Restart one or more VM instances by UUID, including instances that are stopped — this is also how a stopped instance is started again. Already-deleted instances are rejected.
instances_terminate
Terminate one or more VM instances by UUID, including instances that are still initializing or stopped. DESTRUCTIVE: this stops billing for the listed instances and permanently deletes their data; the action cannot be undone. Confirm with the user before invoking.
recipes
recipes_get
Fetch the full markdown body of a specific recipe by slug (typically a slug returned by recipes_search). The body contains Prerequisites, Provision, Configure, Verify, and Troubleshoot sections you should follow step-by-step, executing commands via SSH on the user's VM. Always read the full body before launching infrastructure — the recipe specifies the correct image, sku_class, and minimum specs that should drive your instances_launch call.
recipes_list
List every step-by-step setup recipe currently available for Massed Compute VMs. Prefer recipes_search when the user has a specific intent — call this only when the user asks open-ended questions like 'what can I set up on a VM?', 'what recipes do you have?', or wants to browse the catalogue. Returns metadata (slug, title, description, tags) only; call recipes_get for the full body.
recipes_search
Find a step-by-step setup recipe matching a user's intent — installing, configuring, or deploying anything on a Linux VM (web servers, databases, container runtimes, dev environments, networking, security tooling, ML stacks — any software setup an LLM agent might be asked to perform). ALWAYS call this FIRST when a user asks to set up, install, deploy, run, host, or spin up any service or software on a Massed Compute VM, BEFORE calling instances_launch. The recipe returned will include the correct VM size, image, and step-by-step instructions the user expects you to follow. Examples that should trigger this tool: 'I want an nginx reverse proxy', 'spin up a jupyter notebook', 'set up HTTPS for my app', 'install docker', 'load balance traffic across backends', 'protect my dashboard with a login', 'host a postgres database', 'serve a static site', 'run an ollama server'. If no recipe matches, recipes_search returns no results — that's a useful negative signal that the requested setup may need ad-hoc instructions, not a reason to skip calling this tool.
ssh
ssh_keys_create
Add a new SSH public key to the authenticated account. Key names are restricted to letters, digits and spaces — a name like 'codex_ed25519' or 'my-laptop' is rejected.
ssh_keys_delete
Remove an SSH key from the account. DESTRUCTIVE: any instances relying on this key may lose access. Confirm with the user before invoking.
ssh_keys_list
List SSH keys associated with the authenticated account.
account
account_billing
Retrieve billing settings for the account, including billing method and recharge configuration.
account_token_validation
Confirm that the Bearer token used to call this MCP server is a valid Massed Compute user API key.
coupon
coupon_accepted_products
Look up which products a coupon code can be applied to, with current inventory availability.
coupon_information
Look up information about a coupon by code.
gpu
gpu_inventory_list
Retrieve the comprehensive list of available GPU configurations, their specs, pricing, and current capacity per region.
images
images_list
Retrieve the catalog of preconfigured VM images available for deployment.

Massed Compute — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Massed Compute do?
It exposes 17 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: account_billing, account_token_validation, coupon_accepted_products, coupon_information, gpu_inventory_list, images_list and 11 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README.
How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Massed Compute mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around instances, recipes and ssh. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Massed Compute working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 483 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Massed Compute?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.
How do you sign in to Massed Compute?
No API key is involved. Massed Compute answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.
How fast is Massed Compute?
It answers our handshake in 483 ms on average, which is faster than 25% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Massed Compute?
The npm package massed-compute-mcp was installed 114 times in the last week. Week over week that is +12%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Massed Compute open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at vm.massedcompute.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
