An MI300X Over MCP: What the Matrix Cores Execute, and What They Don't
Community description: One AMD Instinct MI300X on AMD Developer Cloud, managed entirely through a tag-scoped Python MCP server, with every figure read off the card rather than a spec sheet. fp8 e4m3fnuz runs 1.77x bf16; int8, which AMD rates identically to fp8, runs 0.69x; fp4 is not on this silicon at all. One droplet, $1.99 an hour, and two readings that were wrong the first time.

Automated excerpt
The server resolves droplets through GET /v2/droplets? tag_name=gemma, so a tool cannot name, reboot or power off a droplet nobody tagged for it. Every tool resolves the address per call. Why Not the Official DigitalOcean MCP Server?
