Thunder Compute Plugin

Manage Thunder Compute GPU instances directly from your AI coding agent. Create, monitor, modify, and tear down cloud GPU instances without leaving your coding workflow.

Installation

Claude Code

/plugin install thunder-compute

Or from GitHub:

/plugin marketplace add Thunder-Compute/thunder-plugin
/plugin install thunder-compute@Thunder-Compute/thunder-plugin

Codex

Add the MCP server directly:

codex mcp add thunder-compute --url https://api.thundercompute.com:8443/mcp

Or install the plugin from this repo (place it in your project or ~/.agents/plugins/).

Cursor

Add Thunder Compute to Cursor's MCP config at ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (per-project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thunder-compute": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.thundercompute.com:8443/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Then open Cursor Settings → MCP and enable thunder-compute. You'll be prompted to sign in via OAuth on first use.

Any MCP client

Connect to the streamable HTTP endpoint with OAuth:

https://api.thundercompute.com:8443/mcp

Prerequisites

1. A Thunder Compute account
2. An AI agent that supports remote MCP servers (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.)

No local installation or API tokens required — authentication is handled via OAuth in your browser.

Usage

Claude Code: /tnr

/tnr create an a6000 instance with pytorch
/tnr list my instances
/tnr how much have I spent this month?

Codex: $tnr

$tnr create an a6000 instance with pytorch
$tnr list my instances
$tnr how much have I spent this month?

Example requests (any client)

create an a6000 instance with pytorch
list my instances
delete instance 3
what GPUs are available and how much do they cost?
forward port 8080 on my instance
snapshot my instance before I make changes
run nvidia-smi on my instance
how much have I spent this month?
create an API token for CI
