Broad access

Why this level

  • The agent creates and stops paid GPU instances and spends the account balance
  • The API key opens instances, storage and commands inside the machine
All reasons and checks

Install

In your terminal, with SkillFoxx CLI

npx skillfoxx add skills/gputw-skill

Detects the agents on your machine, shows the access level and pins the version.

What it does

GPUtw Skill teaches an agent to work with the REST API of the GPUtw.ai cloud, where GPUs are rented. The user writes in plain language, such as "open an RTX 4090 with the PyTorch template, print the SSH command and stop it at the end". The agent picks a card and node, creates an instance, polls `/status` until `RUNNING`, runs the command, moves models into persistent `/vault` storage and stops the machine. The kit holds a `SKILL.md` with a decision tree, twelve guides on auth, instances, ports, vault uploads and errors, an endpoint reference, a Python client and the `/gputw-deploy`, `/gputw-monitor`, `/gputw-vault` and `/gputw-debug` commands. It also bundles the `@gputw/mcp-server` MCP server with 22 tools. The agent cites only endpoints from the list in the repository and calls anything else undocumented. The knowledge base is written in Traditional Chinese, and answers come in the user's language.

Who it is for. Developers and researchers who run training and inference on cloud GPUs and want an agent to handle renting, starting and stopping.

Good fit when

  • You want to bring up an RTX 4090 in one go, wait for `RUNNING` and get the SSH command
  • A Hugging Face model must be downloaded straight into storage where ComfyUI can see it
  • A machine is stuck in `DEPLOYING` and you need to read its status, events and logs
  • CI needs a separate key that may only upload files to the vault

Not a fit when

  • You need another cloud provider: the skill knows only the GPUtw API
  • You need actions available only in the GPUtw console: the agent cannot perform them
  • You have no `gputw_live_` key: protected calls are unavailable and only the catalog and templates are open

Example request

Open an RTX 4090 on GPUtw with the PyTorch template, print the SSH command once it is RUNNING, and always stop it at the end.

Limitations

Paid operations need a `gputw_live_` key with the right scopes. Deploying works with the deploy preset plus `instances:manage`, and `instances:exec` is best given to a dedicated key. Rentals spend account balance: an hour-ahead balance rule applies before a machine starts, and the API answers `402` when funds are short. The guide tables are a snapshot from September 2026, and the agent reads the current spec from the documentation site. Some actions are browser-only and the skill does not try to work around them.

How to disable. Stop any running instances, remove the gputw plugin through /plugin or the ~/.claude/skills/gputw folder, and revoke the key in the GPUtw console. Remove the MCP server with claude mcp remove gputw.

FAQ

How do I install the skill in Claude Code?

Run `/plugin marketplace add GPUtw-ai/GPUtw-Skill`, then `/plugin install gputw@gputw`. Auto-update is off by default for GitHub marketplaces, so enable it in `/plugin`, Marketplaces.

How do I connect only the MCP server?

Run `claude mcp add gputw -s user -e GPUTW_API_KEY=gputw_live_xxx -- npx -y @gputw/mcp-server@latest`. The server exposes 22 tools and takes the key from an environment variable.

How do I check the skill loaded?

Ask the agent what prefix a GPUtw API key has. The answer `gputw_live_` means the skill works.

What can I try without a key?

Open endpoints: the active GPU list `/api/gpus/active`, templates and server time. `https://upload.gputw.ai/health` also answers with no key.

Why does the API return 403 with a valid key?

There are three causes: Cloudflare blocks a request with no `User-Agent`, the key lacks the scope or the action is browser-only. The skill tells these apart first.

README in short

The README is bilingual with a short English part: an example prompt, Claude Code installation, MCP-only setup and pointers for other agents. The Chinese part covers keys and scopes, the GPU catalog, instance lifecycle, live status, networking, vault, billing and teams, and debugging. The repository layout, a three-layer lookup order and safety rules close it.
