mnvitop

One terminal for the GPUs of all your ssh hosts. It runs nvidia-smi over ssh and shows every host's GPUs, their memory, utilisation history and running processes in a single live view. Nothing needs to be installed on the remote side beyond nvidia-smi and ps. It also ships an MCP server, so an agent can ask where a free GPU is.

Install

uv tool install mnvitop

You need Python 3.11 or newer locally and ssh access to the hosts. To get the MCP server as well, install mnvitop[mcp].

Use

mnvitop h20 semi pro6000

Each argument is an ssh destination, either an alias from ~/.ssh/config or user@host. Ctrl-C quits.

mnvitop -a        # temperature, process cpu and memory, more processes per GPU
mnvitop --once    # print once and exit
mnvitop --json    # one JSON line per round, for logging

mnvitop --help lists the rest. To stop typing the hosts every time, put them in ~/.config/mnvitop/hosts.toml, following hosts.example.toml.

For agents, mnvitop-mcp is a stdio MCP server with three tools: find_gpus, fleet_status and list_hosts. Register it in Claude Code with claude mcp add mnvitop -- mnvitop-mcp. The repository also carries a matching skill in skills/gpu-fleet.
