Quick start

One command gives Claude, Cursor, or any MCP agent access to the full hardware recommendation engine.

Run directly

npx ownrig-mcp

MCP Server

Ask your agent about hardware

11 tools that let any MCP-compatible assistant search models, check compatibility, and explore builds. Published on npm.

Data queries

Search models, GPUs, Apple Silicon, pre-built systems, and curated PC builds. Filter by use case, VRAM, or price.

Compatibility checks

"Can this GPU run Llama 3 70B?" Get a yes/no with VRAM fit, quantization options, and estimated tok/s.

Compatibility lookups

Check any model × device combination. Get VRAM fit, quantization options, estimated tok/s, and performance ratings.

Workflow planning

Map use cases like "AI coding assistant" or "image generation" to specific hardware requirements and upgrade paths.

For personalized build recommendations, visit ownrig.com/recommend.

Integration Guides

Connect your agent

Copy-paste configs for popular platforms. Once connected, ask questions like “What GPU do I need for Llama 3.1 70B?” or “Recommend a build for AI coding under $1,500.”

Claude & Cursor

Add OwnRig to Claude Desktop or Cursor with a single config snippet. The JSON config is identical — only the file path differs.

Claude: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json

MCP config (same for both)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ownrig": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "ownrig-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
