What is MCP Nomad Go?

MCP Nomad Go is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server developed based on Golang, specifically designed to interact with Hashicorp Nomad clusters. It allows users to manage jobs, nodes, and resources in the Nomad cluster through natural language or structured commands.

How to use MCP Nomad Go?

You can use MCP Nomad Go in multiple ways: install the binary file directly, install via npm, use a Docker container, or build from the source code. After installation, configure the Nomad address and access token to start using it.

Applicable scenarios

Suitable for scenarios that require automated management of Nomad clusters, especially when you want to operate Nomad through a natural language interface or an AI assistant (such as Claude). It is also suitable for operation and maintenance teams that need to centrally manage multiple Nomad clusters.
