## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `RUNPOD_CREATE_CLUSTER` | Create RunPod Cluster | Tool to create a new GPU cluster for multi-node distributed computing workloads on RunPod. Use when you need to deploy multiple pods with shared configuration for parallel processing, ML training, or HPC workloads. |
| `RUNPOD_CREATE_SECRET` | Create Secret | Tool to create a new secure secret in RunPod for credential management. Use when you need to store sensitive values like API keys, passwords, or tokens that will be accessible in pods and endpoints via environment variables (RUNPOD_SECRET_). |
| `RUNPOD_DELETE_REGISTRY_AUTH` | Delete Container Registry Authentication | Tool to delete container registry authentication from RunPod. Use when you need to remove stored registry credentials. |
| `RUNPOD_DELETE_TEMPLATE` | Delete Template | Tool to remove a RunPod template via GraphQL mutation. Use when you need to delete a template that is no longer needed. The template must not be in use by any pods or assigned to any serverless endpoints, otherwise the operation will fail. |
| `RUNPOD_GET_GPU_TYPES` | Get GPU Types | Tool to retrieve available GPU types and their specifications, pricing, and availability from RunPod. Use when you need to find GPU options for deployment. |
| `RUNPOD_GET_AUTHENTICATED_USER_INFO` | Get authenticated user info | Retrieve basic information about the authenticated user including ID, email, and security settings. Use this to get the current user's ID, email address, terms of service status, and MFA settings. Note: Access to financial fields (balance, spending, etc.) requires elevated API key permissions. |
| `RUNPOD_GET_POD_DETAILS` | Get Pod Details | Retrieve details of a specific RunPod pod by its unique pod ID. Returns pod configuration including GPU count, memory, cost, and status. Use when you need to check the current state or configuration of an existing pod. |
| `RUNPOD_LIST_CPU_TYPES` | List CPU Types | Tool to retrieve available CPU types and their specifications from RunPod. Use when you need to view CPU options for provisioning pods or selecting hardware configurations. |
| `RUNPOD_SAVE_SERVERLESS_ENDPOINT` | Save Serverless Endpoint | Tool to create or update a RunPod serverless endpoint with GPU configuration and scaling settings. Use when configuring new GPU-accelerated serverless endpoints or modifying existing endpoint parameters. Include 'id' parameter to update an existing endpoint, omit it to create a new one. |
| `RUNPOD_SAVE_CONTAINER_REGISTRY_AUTHENTICATION` | Save Container Registry Authentication | Tool to save container registry authentication credentials for accessing private Docker images in RunPod. Use when you need to store credentials for a private container registry. |
| `RUNPOD_SAVE_TEMPLATE` | Save Template | Tool to create a new RunPod template or update an existing one with container configuration. Use when you need to define reusable pod/serverless configurations with specific images, environment variables, and resource allocations. For serverless templates, always set volumeInGb to 0. |
| `RUNPOD_UPDATE_REGISTRY_AUTH` | Update Registry Auth | Tool to update existing container registry authentication credentials in RunPod. Use when you need to modify the username or password for an existing registry authentication. |
| `RUNPOD_UPDATE_USER_SETTINGS` | Update User Settings | Tool to update current user settings (e.g., SSH public key) in RunPod. Use when you need to configure SSH access to pods by setting the user's SSH public key. |

## Installation and MCP Setup

### Path 1: SDK Installation

#### Path 1, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK, the OpenAI provider, and the OpenAI SDK
```python
pip install composio composio_openai openai
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core @composio/openai openai
```

#### Path 1, Step 2: Create a Composio session

Initialize Composio with the OpenAI Responses provider and create a session scoped to RunPod
```python
import json
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
client = OpenAI()

session = composio.create(user_id="your-user-id", toolkits=["runpod"])
tools = session.tools()
```

```typescript
import OpenAI from "openai";
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from "@composio/openai";

const composio = new Composio({ provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider() });
const client = new OpenAI();

const session = await composio.create("your-user-id", { toolkits: ["runpod"] });
const tools = await session.tools();
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Run RunPod tools with your agent

Send a request, execute the RunPod tool calls through the session, and print the final answer
```python
response = client.responses.create(
    model="gpt-5.6-sol",
    tools=tools,
    input=[{"role": "user", "content": "Launch a new GPU pod for stable diffusion training"}],
)

while True:
    tool_calls = [o for o in response.output if o.type == "function_call"]
    if not tool_calls:
        break
    results = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(response=response, session=session)
    response = client.responses.create(
        model="gpt-5.6-sol",
        tools=tools,
        previous_response_id=response.id,
        input=[
            {"type": "function_call_output", "call_id": call.call_id, "output": json.dumps(results[i])}
            for i, call in enumerate(tool_calls)
        ],
    )

print(response.output_text)
```

```typescript
let response = await client.responses.create({
  model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
  tools,
  input: [{ role: "user", content: "Launch a new GPU pod for stable diffusion training" }],
});

while (response.output.some((o) => o.type === "function_call")) {
  const outputs = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(session, response.output);
  response = await client.responses.create({
    model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
    tools,
    previous_response_id: response.id,
    input: outputs,
  });
}

console.log(response.output_text);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

#### Path 2, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK and your agent framework
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/mcp @ai-sdk/openai
```

#### Path 2, Step 2: Create a session with MCP enabled

Create a session scoped to RunPod and read its MCP URL and headers
```python
from composio import Composio

composio = Composio()
session = composio.create(user_id="your-user-id", toolkits=["runpod"], mcp=True)
```

```typescript
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";

const composio = new Composio();
const { mcp } = await composio.create("your-user-id", {
  toolkits: ["runpod"],
  mcp: true,
});
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect your agent to the MCP server

Pass the session's MCP URL and headers to your agent and run a RunPod request
```python
import asyncio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions, AssistantMessage, TextBlock

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    mcp_servers={
        "composio": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": session.mcp.url,
            "headers": session.mcp.headers,
        }
    },
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant with access to RunPod tools.",
    tools=[],
    allowed_tools=["mcp__composio__*"],
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query("Launch a new GPU pod for stable diffusion training")
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if isinstance(message, AssistantMessage):
                for block in message.content:
                    if isinstance(block, TextBlock):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { createMCPClient } from "@ai-sdk/mcp";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { generateText, stepCountIs } from "ai";

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: { type: "http", url: mcp.url, headers: mcp.headers },
});

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-5.6-sol"),
  tools: await client.tools(),
  prompt: "Launch a new GPU pod for stable diffusion training",
  stopWhen: stepCountIs(10),
});

console.log(text);
await client.close();
```
