Questions

What is the Nodegrove VRAM: can I run it? MCP server?

Can this LLM run on my GPU? VRAM, speed ceiling and what fits instead, for any model and GPU. It is made by nodegrove.io and listed in the official MCP Registry as io.nodegrove/vram-mcp. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use outside tools.

How do I add Nodegrove VRAM: can I run it? to Claude?

In the Claude app or claude.ai, open Settings, then Connectors, choose "Add custom connector" and paste https://mcp.nodegrove.io/mcp. In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add --transport http vram-mcp https://mcp.nodegrove.io/mcp

How do I add Nodegrove VRAM: can I run it? to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT can use remote MCP servers as connectors. In ChatGPT settings, under Apps and Connectors, turn on developer mode if asked, create a new connector and paste https://mcp.nodegrove.io/mcp.

How do I add Nodegrove VRAM: can I run it? to Cursor?

Open Cursor settings, go to MCP, choose "Add new MCP server" (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json) and add: { "mcpServers": { "vram-mcp": { "url": "https://mcp.nodegrove.io/mcp" } } }

Does Nodegrove VRAM: can I run it? work right now?

Yes. It responded when we last checked on 31 Oct 2026. We check remote MCP servers every day.

What can Nodegrove VRAM: can I run it? do?

It gives your AI 6 tools, including can_i_run, what_fits, estimate_vram, estimate_from_hf_repo, list_models. The full list is on this page.
