Fit LLM MCP Server

FitLLM is an open-source, zero-dependency engine that checks whether a local LLM fits on a GPU or Apple Silicon Mac using architecture-aware memory math. Its 3 documented tools cluster into check, what, read & search. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.

Teams that work with apple silicon, kv cache and memory calculator and want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in JavaScript.

01 · Install Fit LLM

before you install - you'll need

The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install.

Claude Code

claude mcp add click6067-ship-it-fitllm-engine --transport http https://fitllm.run/api/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "click6067-ship-it-fitllm-engine": {
      "url": "https://fitllm.run/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as remote - your agent's requests go to fitllm.run

endpoint auth accepted our unauthenticated MCP initialize - no credentials needed to connect

license MIT - declared in the repository

registry vendor namespace run.fitllm - domain-verified with the official MCP registry

03 · What Fit LLM can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can check one model against a GPU, multi-GPU rig, or Mac and return the verdict, memory breakdown, and a fix when it does not fit, and list the built-in model and hardware names accepted by the fit checker.

The 3 tools it gives your agent

Extracted from the project's README - what FitLLM lets an agent do.

check_llm_fit
- check one model against a GPU, multi-GPU rig, or Mac and return the verdict, memory breakdown, and a fix when it does not fit.
what_fits_on_hardware
- rank the supported local models that fit the given GPU, multi-GPU rig, or Mac.
list_supported
- list the built-in model and hardware names accepted by the fit checker.

06 · Fit LLM FAQ

Is Fit LLM still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-09-14 and it shipped 10+ releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

What can Fit LLM do?

With this server connected, an agent can check one model against a GPU, multi-GPU rig, or Mac and return the verdict, memory breakdown, and a fix when it does not fit, and list the built-in model and hardware names accepted by the fit checker.

How do I install Fit LLM?

Run `claude mcp add click6067-ship-it-fitllm-engin --transport http https://fitllm.run/api/mcp`. The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Fit LLM require authentication?

No - the endpoint accepted our unauthenticated MCP initialize when probed on 2026-09-18; you can connect without credentials.
