Description
I built an unofficial CLI and MCP server for Lambda cloud GPU instances.The main idea: your AI agents can now spin up and manage Lambda GPUs for you.The MCP server exposes tools to find, launch, and terminate instances. Add it to Claude Code, Cursor, or any agent with one command and you can say things like "launch an H100, ssh in, and run big_job.py" Other features: - Notifications via Slack, Discord, or Telegram when instances are SSH-ready - 1Password support for API keys - Also includes a standalone CLI with the same functionality Written in Rust. MIT licensed.Note: This is an unofficial community project, not affiliated with Lambda.

Could you build this?
Yes This is a lightweight CLI and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that simply wraps Lambda Cloud's existing REST API endpoints into standard MCP tools.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
