Let AI coding assistants manage your SLURM cluster jobs safely.

Built with [FastMCP](https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp) for ML researchers who want seamless experiment management through Claude Code or other MCP-compatible agents.

## Why?

Running ML experiments on HPC clusters typically means manual `scp`/`ssh` commands. This MCP server lets your AI assistant handle the workflow - transferring code, submitting jobs, monitoring progress, debugging failures - with built-in safety guardrails.

- **Structure** - well-defined tools for common workflows (transfer, submit, read logs)
- **Guardrails** - path validation, rate limiting, dangerous command blocking
- **Permissions** - read-only tools auto-allowed, write operations require confirmation

### Recommended Claude Code permissions

In `settings.local.json`, auto-allow read-only tools:
```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__cluster__cluster_info",
      "mcp__cluster__list_remote",
      "mcp__cluster__check_queue",
      "mcp__cluster__read_logs",
      "mcp__cluster__search_logs"
    ]
  }
}
```

Tools requiring permission (write/execute): `transfer_file`, `download_file`, `submit_job`, `poll_job`, `run_remote_command`, `singularity_test`

## Prerequisites

- SSH access to your cluster (key-based authentication)
- SLURM scheduler (sbatch, squeue commands)

## Guardrails

- **Rate limiting** - max 30 commands per 5 min (configurable via env)
- **Path validation** - all paths must be under REMOTE_BASE_PATH
- **Dangerou…
