How to connect
How to connect NVIDIA AI CKG to Claude
The server address to paste into Claude settings:
https://ckg-nvidia-ai.onrender.com/mcp
- Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
- Go to Settings → Connectors.
- Click Add custom connector.
- Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
- In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.
Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.
Authorization
After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.
How to connect NVIDIA AI CKG to ChatGPT
The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:
https://ckg-nvidia-ai.onrender.com/mcp
- Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
- Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
- Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
- Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
- Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
- In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.
OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.
Authorization
On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.
How to connect NVIDIA AI CKG to Cursor
The server address to paste into Cursor settings:
https://ckg-nvidia-ai.onrender.com/mcp
Fastest: click Open in Cursor below and confirm the prompt.
Manually:
- In Cursor open Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
- Paste the JSON copied below into
~/.cursor/mcp.json(per project:.cursor/mcp.jsonin the repo root). - Save the file. The server appears in the MCP list; authorize it there if asked.
Authorization
If the service needs sign-in, an authorize button appears next to the server in the MCP list.
Server tool list (9)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| list_domains | List all 20 NVIDIA AI domains available in this knowledge graph. |
| search_concepts | Find concepts in a NVIDIA AI domain by keyword. Args: query: Search term — e.g. 'inference', 'sandbox', 'quantization', 'guardrails'. domain: Domain name from list_domains() — e.g. 'nvidia-nim', 'nvidia-openshell'. |
| query_ckg | Traverse the NVIDIA knowledge graph from a concept — prerequisites and dependents. Args: concept: Concept name (partial match supported) — e.g. 'TensorRT', 'NIM', 'Isaac Lab'. domain: Domain name from list_domains() — e.g. 'nvidia-tensorrt-triton', 'nvidia-isaac'. depth: Traversal depth 1–5 (default 3). |
| get_prerequisites | Return the full ordered prerequisite chain for a concept — everything to learn first. Args: concept: Target concept — e.g. 'Speculative Decoding', 'Isaac Lab', 'NeMo Guardrails'. domain: Domain name from list_domains(). |
| ask_nvidia | Ask a natural-language question answered by Qwen grounded on the NVIDIA CKG. Requires Ollama running locally with a Qwen model pulled: ollama pull qwen2.5:14b Override model: NVIDIA_CKG_MODEL env var (default: qwen2.5:14b) Override host: NVIDIA_CKG_OLLAMA env var (default: http://localhost:11434) Args: question: Natural-language question about the NVIDIA AI stack. domain: Domain from list_domains() — auto-detected from question if omitted. |
| list_ecosystem | Discover other CKG packages for adjacent domains — finance, healthcare, legal, and more. |
| route_query | Route an NVIDIA AI question to the optimal model and reasoning approach via graph depth. The CKG graph IS the router — hop depth is a deterministic complexity metric. Deeper NVIDIA prerequisite chains (CUDA → TensorRT → TensorRT-LLM → NIM) require more capable models. No heuristic: the graph decides. Routing table: hop_depth 1 → haiku · direct (simple lookup) hop_depth 2 → sonnet · generic_cot (moderate chain) hop_depth 3+ → opus · sparql_cot (deep dependency, structured reasoning) Args: question: Concept name or natural language question about NVIDIA AI. domain: Domain from list_domains() — e.g. "nvidia-tensorrt-triton", "nvidia-nim". Returns: model_tier + reasoning_approach + why + context subgraph to inject before LLM call. |
| verify_source | Return the source URL and SHA-256 content hash for any NVIDIA AI concept node. Audit chain: edge answer → graph commit → source_content_hash → source_url (fetch hint). Verification: curl -s <source_url> | sha256sum # compare to source_hash Args: concept: Concept label (partial match supported). domain: Domain from list_domains() — e.g. 'nvidia-nim', 'nvidia-tensorrt-triton'. |
| query_intersect | Answer a conjunctive query: concepts reachable from EVERY anchor at once (A AND B). query_ckg walks outward from one concept. This intersects the reachable sets of two or more, which is the shape of most real questions — "the component that satisfies A AND applies to B". Neither anchor alone answers it; the answer lives in the overlap. Every branch is an exact set of declared edges, so the intersection is exact. A concept appears only if a declared path reaches it from each anchor. A relation missing from the graph produces an empty result, never a guess. Args: branches: Two or more branches. Either a bare anchor ("TensorRT-LLM"), which takes everything within `depth` hops, or an anchor plus an explicit relation path using '>' ("TensorRT-LLM > REQUIRES > ENABLES"), where each relation replaces the frontier. '*' matches any relation. Mix both forms freely. domain: Domain name from list_domains(). depth: Hops for bare-anchor branches, 1-5 (default 2). Ignored for explicit paths. direction: 'out' follows dependencies, 'in' follows them backwards, 'both' (default). mode: 'AND' (default) intersects branches; 'OR' unions them. limit: Max concepts listed, 1-200 (default 40). The true count is always shown. Returns: Markdown with the query plan and its per-step set sizes, then the answer set with taxonomy tags. Reports which branch was empty when the intersection is empty. |
