## Description
GPU cloud platform — create, manage, and monitor instances, snapshots, SSH keys, and billing.
## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):
```json
"mcpServers": {
"thunder-compute": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y","thunder-compute"]
}
}
```

`tnr` is the official command-line interface for Thunder Compute, a high-performance cloud GPU platform built for AI/ML prototyping and experimentation.
Using a proprietary orchestration engine, Thunder Compute delivers fast provisioning, low-latency execution, and low-cost GPU compute designed for developer workflows.
The `tnr` CLI supports:
- Provisioning and managing GPU instances
- Configuring compute resources and instance specifications
- Secure SSH access and session management
- File transfer capabilities (SCP upload and download)
- Port forwarding for accessing remote services locally
- Automated update checks and version management
- Cross-platform support for macOS, Linux, and Windows

# Installation
Install `tnr` using one of the supported methods below. You may also download installers and binaries directly from the [Latest Release](https://github.com/Thunder-Compute/thunder-cli/releases) page.
### macOS
Download the `.pkg` installer for your platform from the [Latest Release](https://github.com/Thunder-Compute/thunder-cli/releases/latest) page (`tnr_*_darwin_arm64.pkg` for Apple Silicon, `tnr_*_darwin_amd64.pkg` for Intel).
**Homebrew:**
```bash
brew tap Thunder-Compute/tnr
brew install tnr
```
---
### Linux
Download `.tar.gz`, `.deb`, `.rpm`, or `.apk` packages from the [Latest Release](https://github.com/Thunder-Compute/thunder-cli/releases/latest) page.
**Install script (recommended):**
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Thunder-Compute/thunder-cli/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
```
---
### Windows
Download the `.msi` installer for your platform from the [Latest Release](https://github.com/Thunder-Compute/thunder-cli/releases/latest) page.
**Scoop:**
```powershell
scoop bucket add tnr https://github.com/Thunder-Compute/scoop-bucket
scoop install tnr
```
**Winget:**

winget install Thunder.tnr
```
### Build from Source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Thunder-Compute/thunder-cli.git
cd thunder-cli
go build -o tnr
./tnr
```
# Quick Start
```bash
tnr login # Authenticate with Thunder Compute
tnr create # Create a GPU instance
tnr status # View instance status
tnr connect 0 # Connect to your instance
# File transfers
tnr scp myfile.py 0:/home/ubuntu/
tnr scp 0:/home/ubuntu/results.txt ./
tnr delete 0 # Delete instance
```
`tnr login` opens a browser and returns to a loopback callback on
`127.0.0.1`. On a headless or remote machine where that callback cannot be
reached, create a named API token in Console Settings and run
`tnr login --token ` instead.
# Local and staging testing (monorepo)
For a local API, run `make cli-local ARGS="login"`, `make cli-local ARGS="status"`, or `make cli-local ARGS="logout --revoke"` from the Thundernetes repository root. This builds `cli/dist/tnr-local` and targets `http://localhost:8443`, storing credentials in `cli/dist/local-home` separately from staging and production. Start your local API first; the runner does not start it. Browser login also needs the API's OAuth configuration and a running authorization page, normally the local Console at `http://localhost:3000`. For arguments requiring shell quoting, use `bash cli/scripts/tnr-local.sh `.
From the Thundernetes repository root, run `make cli-staging ARGS="login"`, `make cli-staging ARGS="status"`, or `make cli-staging ARGS="logout --revoke"`. Each invocation builds the current branch through Bazel and runs `cli/dist/tnr-staging` against the URL supplied through `TNR_STAGING_API_URL`. The monorepo Makefile supplies the default; the CLI scripts contain no staging endpoint. Credentials are saved separately in `cli/dist/staging-home`, an inherited `TNR_API_TOKEN` is ignored, and self-updates are disabled. These generated files are gitignored. For arguments requiring shell quoting, export `TNR_STAGING_API_URL` and run `bash cli/scripts/tnr-staging.sh ` directly.
Browser login requires the staging API's `/v1/auth/cli/oauth-config` endpoint and staging Connected App configuration. A 404 indicates the route is unavailable; a 503 can indicate missing OAuth configuration. Local builds do not deploy or configure the API.
