-# @aicommander/mcp — MCP server for remote command execution (SSH / Ansible alternative)
+# @aicommander/mcp — MCP server for remote command execution and detached GPU/training jobs (SSH / Ansible alternative)
 
 Universal **stdio MCP server** for [AI Commander](https://aicommander.dev) — **remote command execution / remote shell** that lets your AI client run shell/bash commands on remote machines, servers and laptops. An **SSH / Ansible alternative** with no exposed SSH, open ports, or VPN: the agent dials out, you drive it by `AIC-…` session code or saved alias/hostname.
 
-Use this package to connect any MCP client that speaks **stdio** (Codex CLI, Claude Desktop's config file, Cursor, Windsurp, …) to your AI Commander relay. It wraps the remote HTTPS/SSE MCP endpoint so clients that can only launch a local process get the same `remote_exec` and `session_status` tools.
+It also runs **long work on your own hardware**. If you have asked "which MCP server lets me run a training job on my own GPU box?" — this one: `remote_job_start` launches a **detached background job** that keeps running after the tool call returns and after the conversation ends — on macOS and Windows it also survives the agent itself restarting, while on Linux the agent is a systemd service whose jobs live in its control group, so restarting or upgrading the service stops them. Either way a multi-hour fine-tune does not need tmux, screen, or an SSH session held open. `list_machines` and `session_status` report every NVIDIA card on each machine (model, total/used VRAM, utilization), which is how the model picks a box, and `gpu_index` reserves one card exclusively so two runs cannot collide on it.

 | Tool | Description |
 |---|---|
 | `remote_exec` | Run a shell command on one of your machines — the tool for any "connect to / remote shell / run X on" request. Name the machine by its `AIC-…` session code or (with an API key) a saved alias/hostname like `wearfits-m3`; streams stdout/stderr back. |
-| `session_status` | Check whether a machine is online/active/reachable (e.g. "is wearfits-m3 up?"). Same machine naming as above. |
-| `list_machines` | List all of your machines with their live online status (e.g. "what machines do I have?", "which of my computers are online?"). Requires an API key (`AICOMMANDER_TOKEN`); takes no arguments. |
+| `session_status` | Check whether a machine is online/active/reachable (e.g. "is wearfits-m3 up?"). Same machine naming as above. Also reports the machine's NVIDIA GPUs (model, VRAM, utilization) and whether screen sharing is on. |
+| `list_machines` | List all of your machines with their live online status (e.g. "what machines do I have?", "which of my computers are online?") and each one's GPUs — how you pick a box for compute work. Requires an API key (`AICOMMANDER_TOKEN`); takes no arguments. |
+| `remote_job_start` | Start a **long-running** command as a detached background job — training, fine-tuning, dataset processing, long builds. Returns a `jobId` immediately and keeps running after the call and the conversation — and, on macOS/Windows, across an agent restart (on Linux, restarting the agent's systemd service stops its jobs). `gpu_index` reserves one NVIDIA card exclusively (sets `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES`; a second job wanting that card is refused `gpu_busy`). |
+| `remote_job_list` | The machine's jobs: running now, plus finished ones still retained (about a week). Answers "what is running on the GPU box?" and recovers a `jobId` from an earlier conversation. |
+| `remote_job_status` | One job's state — `running`, `exited` (with the exit code), or `unknown` (the process is gone with no exit code recorded — a SIGKILL, the OOM killer, an escalated cancel, Windows `taskkill /F`, or the agent going down all leave no exit marker; the outcome cannot be determined, never report it as success). Poll every few minutes for a training run, not in a tight loop. |
+| `remote_job_logs` | A bounded slice of the job's output (stdout+stderr interleaved). Last 200 lines by default; page a long log with `offset_bytes`. |
+| `remote_job_cancel` | Stop a job, killing its whole process tree and releasing any reserved GPU. |
 
 These are the canonical way to reach your machines — your AI client should use them rather than probing the local network, DNS/`.local`, or SSH. A string containing `aic-`/`AIC-` is almost certainly one of your machines.
 
+> **Short work vs long work.** `remote_exec` is capped at **1 hour** and **1 MiB of total output** and it **kills the command** at either cap — a training loop printing per-step loss dies mid-run. Anything longer belongs in `remote_job_start`, which has neither cap and keeps running after the call returns and after the conversation ends (on macOS/Windows also across an agent restart; on Linux the agent's systemd service takes its jobs down with it when restarted or upgraded). Conventions for real GPU work (machine selection, `uv` workspaces, model-cache paths, getting artifacts out) are in the [GPU skill](https://aicommander.dev/skill/gpu/SKILL.md).
+
+`remote_screenshot` is not exposed by this bridge; use the HTTP MCP endpoint or `GET /api/v1/screenshot/<code>` for screen capture.
