What is the NVIDIA AI MCP Server?
Connect NVIDIA AI to any AI agent and harness the power of GPU-accelerated foundation models — chat with Llama, generate embeddings, write code with CodeLlama, translate text, and perform complex reasoning through the NVIDIA API Catalog.
What you can do
- Chat with LLMs — Access Llama 3.1, Mistral, Nemotron, and more via chat completions
- Generate Embeddings — Create vector embeddings for search and clustering
- Code Generation — Write code from natural language prompts using CodeLlama
- Summarization — Condense long documents into concise summaries
- Translation — Neural translation between dozens of languages
- Text-to-SQL — Convert natural language questions into SQL queries
- Sentiment Analysis — Analyze the emotional tone of text
- Complex Reasoning — Ask questions to the 405B-parameter reasoning model
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your NVIDIA API Key (from build.nvidia.com)
- Start running AI models from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Developers — Prototype AI features without managing GPU infrastructure
- Data Scientists — Generate embeddings and run NLP tasks at scale
- Business Analysts — Use text-to-SQL to query databases with natural language
Built-in capabilities (9)
Analyze the sentiment of a text
Optionally provide context for better answers. Ask a question to a powerful reasoning model (405B params)
Use "model" to specify which AI model (e.g., "meta/llama-3.1-70b-instruct", "mistralai/mistral-large"). Messages should be in OpenAI format: [{role: "user", content: "..."}]. Chat with an NVIDIA AI model (Llama, Mistral, etc)
Specify language if needed. Generate code from a natural language prompt
Model: "nvidia/nv-embed-v1". Generate vector embeddings from text
List all available AI models on the NVIDIA API Catalog
Summarize long text into a concise version
Convert natural language to SQL query
Translate text to another language
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings NVIDIA AI data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 9 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Which AI models are available?
The NVIDIA API Catalog offers Llama 3.1 (8B, 70B, 405B), Mistral, CodeLlama, Gemma, Nemotron, and many more. Use the list_models tool to see all available models.
How do I get an NVIDIA API Key?
Sign up at build.nvidia.com, go to your account settings, and generate an API key. The Developer Program includes free inference credits.
Can I generate code in specific languages?
Yes! The generate_code tool lets you specify the programming language (Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, etc.) for better results.
Are there usage limits on the free tier?
Yes, the NVIDIA Developer Program provides free inference credits. Once exhausted, you can upgrade to a paid plan for higher throughput. Check your usage dashboard at build.nvidia.com.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
