What is Dispatcher MCP Server?
The Dispatcher MCP Server is an interface that allows MCP-compatible clients (like language models) to interact with the dpdispatcher library. It provides a standardized way to submit, manage, and monitor computational jobs on various platforms, from local machines to HPC clusters.
How to use Dispatcher MCP Server?
To use the server, first ensure you have the prerequisites installed (dpdispatcher, mcp, anyio). Clone the repository and place the necessary files in a directory. Configure dpdispatcher for your target environment (e.g., HPC cluster). Start the server by running python dispatcher_mcp_server/fast_server.py. Then, configure your MCP client (e.g., Cline) to connect to the server using the provided JSON configuration. You can then interact with the server using MCP tools to submit, query, cancel, and fetch results for computational jobs.
