Srunx Overview

The ksterx/srunx MCP server exposes SLURM job management and HPC cluster operations through 14 tools. It can target a local SLURM installation or dispatch commands to SSH-configured clusters, while the same package also includes a CLI and FastAPI web dashboard. Reach for it when an agent needs to submit or monitor jobs, run YAML workflows, inspect GPU availability, manage SSH profiles, or synchronize files across remote clusters. Running it requires Python 3.12+, access to a SLURM cluster, and the package's MCP extra.
