Runcrate MCP Server
Rent GPUs and run jobs from your AI agent
Runcrate is a Developer Tools MCP (Model Context Protocol) server: Rent GPUs and run jobs from your AI agent. It is MIT-licensed and available as a hosted endpoint, so it works with no local install. Listed on MCP Collection since November 2026.
About Runcrate
Runcrate's MCP server lets an AI agent rent and manage GPUs. It shows live GPU prices, launches a GPU on a ready image, runs a command as a job that stops billing when the command exits, moves files, and checks spend. Sign-in is OAuth in the browser, so there is no key to copy. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients. Runcrate is an AI cloud for developers and their agents: rent GPUs and call open models through one API.
