  • Cluster(/Region): List;
  • Product: List;
  • GPU Instance: List, Get, Create, Start, Stop, Delete, Restart;
  • Template: List, Get, Create, Delete;
  • Container Registry Auth: List, Create, Delete;
  • Network Storage: List, Create, Update, Delete;

What the assistant can call

Once Novita is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • Product — List;
  • Template — List, Get, Create, Delete;

Configuration and credentials

You will need one environment variable: NOVITA_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Setting it up

@novitalabs/novita-mcp-server on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Choosing this one

Among the file and storage access options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Novita's toolset — Product, Template — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by novitalabs; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the novita mcp server does with a few real requests.
