Summary
Connects Claude directly to Thunder Compute's GPU cloud platform through their API. You get programmatic control over the full instance lifecycle: spin up GPU instances with specific specs, manage snapshots, configure SSH keys, check billing, and monitor status. Basically lets Claude handle infrastructure operations you'd normally do through their tnr CLI or web dashboard. Reach for this when you're prototyping ML workloads and want Claude to provision compute resources, manage running instances, or automate deployment workflows without context switching. Uses streamable HTTP transport and hits their production API at api.thundercompute.com.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

The tnr CLI supports:
- Provisioning and managing GPU instances
- Configuring compute resources and instance specifications
- Secure SSH access and session management
- File transfer capabilities (SCP upload and download)
- Port forwarding for accessing remote services locally
- Automated update checks and version management
- Cross-platform support for macOS, Linux, and Windows
