Rescale MCP Plugin for OpenAI ChatGPT

Rescale is now in the ChatGPT Plugins directory. Add it, sign in with your Rescale account, and ask ChatGPT to find past jobs, explain why a run failed, prepare and submit a simulation, or check your credits and budgets, all from the conversation you’re already in.

Release Highlights

• What is it? A Rescale-hosted plugin, built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), that you install from ChatGPT’s Plugins directory. You don’t need a server URL or an API key.
• Why does it matter? Engineers already work in ChatGPT. With the plugin, ChatGPT can work with your Rescale jobs, logs, and files in the same conversation. For example, it can read the log of a failed job, explain the likely cause, and set up the corrected run for you to review before it’s submitted.
• How is it used? Any Rescale user with MCP access can connect. ChatGPT works in the workspace you choose at sign-in, with your own Rescale permissions, and every action is recorded as yours. ChatGPT asks you to confirm before the plugin submits, stops, or deletes anything.
• What does each plan include? On every plan, including HPC Foundations, ChatGPT can work with your jobs, files, and storage devices and look up the software and hardware available to you. Advanced Modeling & Simulation adds workflows. Agentic Engineering adds Edison and its agents. Advanced Modeling & Simulation includes Edison in the Rescale platform, but using Edison and agents from ChatGPT requires Agentic Engineering.

You can ask questions like:

• “Show my recently completed Rescale jobs and summarize the latest result.”
• “Job [JOB_ID] failed. Read the logs and explain what went wrong.”
• “Which versions of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ can I run, and on which hardware?”
• “Set up an Ansys Fluent job like my last one on 64 cores and show me the settings before submitting.”
• “How many credits do we have left, and when do our deposits expire?”

Getting Started

1. In ChatGPT, open the Plugins directory.
2. Search for Rescale and click Install plugin.
3. Sign in to Rescale, choose your workspace, and approve access.
4. Start with a read-only request, such as “Show my recently completed Rescale jobs.”

The plugin connects to Rescale’s US platform. If your account is on the EU, Korea, or Japan platform, see Getting Started for your region’s server URL. The plugin isn’t available on the ITAR or FedRAMP platforms.

Submitting or resuming jobs through ChatGPT uses compute at your normal rates. Files larger than 5 GB can’t be read or downloaded through ChatGPT. For setup details, regional URLs, and troubleshooting, see Rescale MCP Server: Getting Started.
