Together they let your agent create Pods, deploy Serverless endpoints, transfer files, and query GPU availability — in natural language, without switching to the console. + +--- + +## What's available + +### Agent skills + +The Runpod skills plugin teaches your coding agent how to perform tasks on Runpod. Once installed, you describe what you want — "create a Pod with an RTX 4090" or "deploy this function to Serverless" — and the built-in router sends the request to the right skill. + +Skills work with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, and other agents. + +→ [Set up agent skills](/get-started/agent-skills) + +### MCP servers + +Runpod provides two Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers: + +- **Runpod API MCP server** — gives your agent structured tools to manage Pods, endpoints, templates, network volumes, and registries through the REST API. Requires a Runpod API key. +- **Runpod docs MCP server** — lets your agent search Runpod documentation for features, code examples, and guides.

The skills plugin handles high-level task execution (e.g. deploying a full workflow), while the MCP server provides the underlying API tools the skills rely on. + +If your agent supports the Runpod skills plugin, start there — it sets up the MCP server automatically for Claude Code, and the guided installer handles other agents. + +If your agent only supports MCP (no skills marketplace), use the MCP server directly. + +--- + +## One-shot setup for coding agents + +The fastest way to get started is the **Onboard your agent to Runpod** banner on your [Runpod console home page](https://console.runpod.io). It gives you a one-line prompt you can copy directly into your coding agent: + +``` +Set up Runpod for me: fetch https://docs.runpod.io/agent-setup.md and follow it. +``` + +Paste this into your agent and it fetches the setup instructions, installs the skills plugin and MCP server, and confirms the connection — no manual config steps. This works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, opencode, and Gemini. + +You can also copy the prompt from this page if you have dismissed the banner.
