About dcp-mcp
dcp-mcp exposes DCP inference, GPU rental, and persistent storage to MCP agents, for users working with compute resources located in Saudi Arabia. Its tools cover model queries, chat inference, GPU pods, and storage volumes.
Key features
- 01Register an agent and obtain an API key
- 02List models and run chat inference
- 03View GPU types and live availability
- 04Create, inspect, extend, and stop GPU pods
- 05Rent and inspect persistent volumes
Use cases
- 01Let an agent query models and call OpenAI-compatible inference
- 02Rent a GPU pod for interactive workloads
- 03Check pod status, access details, and remaining time
- 04Rent in-Kingdom persistent storage for data
MCP support
The MCP server wraps the DCP API as tools for inference, GPU rental, and storage management. Clients provide credentials through the `DCP_API_KEY` environment variable.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project README@dcp/mcp — DCP Model Context Protocol server
DCP is Saudi Arabia's sovereign AI compute platform — in-Kingdom inference, GPU rental, and persistent storage, billed in SAR, on Saudi-owned hardware. This MCP server lets any MCP-capable agent (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or your own) use DCP through native tool calls.
It is a thin client: it reads DCP_API_KEY from the environment and calls https://api.dcp.sa. No secrets are bundled.
Install (one line)
The connector runs straight from GitHub — no npm install, no clone:
DCP_API_KEY=dc1-sk-xxxxxxxx npx -y github:dhnpmp-tech/dcp-mcp
MCP client config
Add this to your MCP client (Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json, Claude Code / Cursor .mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"dcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "github:dhnpmp-tech/dcp-mcp"],
"env": { "DCP_API_KEY": "dc1-sk-xxxxxxxx" }
}
}
}
Then ask your agent to "list DCP models" or "rent a GPU on DCP for 30 minutes." Agents with no key can call register_agent first — see the quickstart below.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
register_agent | Self-register in one call — get a real API key + small SAR trial, no human, no email click. Use first when you have no key. |
list_models | List currently-serveable models (OpenAI-style). |
chat | Run a chat completion (OpenAI-compatible, in-Kingdom). |
get_balance | Renter wallet balance (SAR). |
list_gpus | List rentable GPU types (e.g. H100, RTX 4090) with VRAM + live availability. |
create_pod | Rent a whole GPU as an interactive pod (root + Jupyter + SSH), prepaid per minute. |
get_pod | Pod status + access URL / SSH command / time remaining. |
extend_pod | Add time to a running pod, no restart. |
stop_pod | Stop early; unused prepaid time refunded. |
rent_volume | Rent an exclusive in-Kingdom persistent volume (10/20/30 GB). |
get_volume | Active volume status + usage. |
Zero-human quickstart (for agents)
The whole loop runs with no human in it:
register_agent→ returns a realapi_key+ a 20 SAR trial credit (no email click). Set it asDCP_API_KEY.list_gpus→ pick agpu_typestring (e.g."H100","RTX 4090") from the live, available types.create_podwith thatgpu_type+duration_minutes→ pollget_podfor theaccess_url/ssh_commandonce running.chat→ run OpenAI-compatible inference on an available model fromlist_models.stop_pod→ stop early; unused prepaid minutes are refunded to the wallet.
Minting a key by hand (equivalent to register_agent):
curl -s -X POST https://api.dcp.sa/api/renters/agent-register \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{}'
# → { "api_key": "dcp-renter-…", "trial_credit_sar": 20, "balance_sar": 20, ... }
The trial (20 SAR) is enough to list GPUs, run a short pod, and do real inference; the larger grant stays behind email-verified signup. Calls are per-IP rate-limited.
Environment
DCP_API_KEY— renter API key (required for every tool exceptregister_agent).DCP_API_BASE— API host, defaulthttps://api.dcp.sa.
Why DCP
Inference, GPU rental, fine-tune hosting, and storage on Saudi-owned hardware inside the Kingdom — full PDPL / data-residency compliance, billed in SAR. The inference API is a drop-in OpenAI replacement: point any OpenAI SDK at https://api.dcp.sa/v1.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
