ask
ask_nvidia
Ask a natural-language question answered by Qwen grounded on the NVIDIA CKG. Requires Ollama running locally with a Qwen model pulled: ollama pull qwen2.5:14b Override model: NVIDIA_CKG_MODEL env var (default: qwen2.5:14b) Override host: NVIDIA_CKG_OLLAMA env var (default: http://localhost:11434) Args: question: Natural-language question about the NVIDIA AI stack. domain: Domain from list_domains() — auto-detected from question if omitted.
ckg
query_ckg
Traverse the NVIDIA knowledge graph from a concept — prerequisites and dependents. Args: concept: Concept name (partial match supported) — e.g. 'TensorRT', 'NIM', 'Isaac Lab'. domain: Domain name from list_domains() — e.g. 'nvidia-tensorrt-triton', 'nvidia-isaac'. depth: Traversal depth 1–5 (default 3).
concepts
search_concepts
Find concepts in a NVIDIA AI domain by keyword. Args: query: Search term — e.g. 'inference', 'sandbox', 'quantization', 'guardrails'. domain: Domain name from list_domains() — e.g. 'nvidia-nim', 'nvidia-openshell'.
domains
list_domains
List all 20 NVIDIA AI domains available in this knowledge graph.
ecosystem
list_ecosystem
Discover other CKG packages for adjacent domains — finance, healthcare, legal, and more.
intersect
query_intersect
Answer a conjunctive query: concepts reachable from EVERY anchor at once (A AND B). query_ckg walks outward from one concept. This intersects the reachable sets of two or more, which is the shape of most real questions — "the component that satisfies A AND applies to B". Neither anchor alone answers it; the answer lives in the overlap. Every branch is an exact set of declared edges, so the intersection is exact. A concept appears only if a declared path reaches it from each anchor. A relation missing from the graph produces an empty result, never a guess. Args: branches: Two or more branches. Either a bare anchor ("TensorRT-LLM"), which takes everything within `depth` hops, or an anchor plus an explicit relation path using '>' ("TensorRT-LLM > REQUIRES > ENABLES"), where each relation replaces the frontier. '*' matches any relation. Mix both forms freely. domain: Domain name from list_domains(). depth: Hops for bare-anchor branches, 1-5 (default 2). Ignored for explicit paths. direction: 'out' follows dependencies, 'in' follows them backwards, 'both' (default). mode: 'AND' (default) intersects branches; 'OR' unions them. limit: Max concepts listed, 1-200 (default 40). The true count is always shown. Returns: Markdown with the query plan and its per-step set sizes, then the answer set with taxonomy tags. Reports which branch was empty when the intersection is empty.
prerequisites
get_prerequisites
Return the full ordered prerequisite chain for a concept — everything to learn first. Args: concept: Target concept — e.g. 'Speculative Decoding', 'Isaac Lab', 'NeMo Guardrails'. domain: Domain name from list_domains().
route
route_query
Route an NVIDIA AI question to the optimal model and reasoning approach via graph depth. The CKG graph IS the router — hop depth is a deterministic complexity metric. Deeper NVIDIA prerequisite chains (CUDA → TensorRT → TensorRT-LLM → NIM) require more capable models. No heuristic: the graph decides. Routing table: hop_depth 1 → haiku · direct (simple lookup) hop_depth 2 → sonnet · generic_cot (moderate chain) hop_depth 3+ → opus · sparql_cot (deep dependency, structured reasoning) Args: question: Concept name or natural language question about NVIDIA AI. domain: Domain from list_domains() — e.g. "nvidia-tensorrt-triton", "nvidia-nim". Returns: model_tier + reasoning_approach + why + context subgraph to inject before LLM call.
verify
verify_source
Return the source URL and SHA-256 content hash for any NVIDIA AI concept node. Audit chain: edge answer → graph commit → source_content_hash → source_url (fetch hint). Verification: curl -s <source_url> | sha256sum # compare to source_hash Args: concept: Concept label (partial match supported). domain: Domain from list_domains() — e.g. 'nvidia-nim', 'nvidia-tensorrt-triton'.

NVIDIA AI CKG — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can NVIDIA AI CKG do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: ask_nvidia, get_prerequisites, list_domains, list_ecosystem, query_ckg, query_intersect and 3 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 →
Is NVIDIA AI CKG working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 237 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is NVIDIA AI CKG still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
The registry lists NVIDIA AI CKG as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect NVIDIA AI CKG?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does NVIDIA AI CKG need an API key?
No. NVIDIA AI CKG completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How many people use NVIDIA AI CKG?
The pypi package ckg-nvidia-ai was installed 6 535 times in the last week. Week over week that is +225%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
