I Built a Tool So Claude Code Can Use My Colab GPU
The Problem I use Claude Code daily. It can read my files, run bash commands, edit code — but the moment I need GPU compute, I'm back to copy-pasting between my terminal and Google Colab like it's 2020. I was working on a Videogen. The image generation runs locally on my Mac, but the model needs a GPU. Every time I wanted to test an image-to-video model, I had to: Open Colab Paste my code Run cells manually Copy results back Repeat 50 times So I built claude-colab — a bridge that gives Claude Code direct GPU access through Google Colab. How It Works Colab (T4/A100 GPU) Your Machine ┌────────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ │ Flask API │◄── HTTPS ──────►│ CLI / MCP Server│ │ E2E Encrypted │ (cloudflared) │ │ │ Bearer token auth │ │ Claude Code │ └────────────────────┘ │ gains GPU tools │ └─────────────────┘ Three layers: Colab notebook — Flask API + Cloudflare tunnel on the GPU CLI — pip install claude-colab , human-friendly commands MCP server — Claude Code sees GPU tools natively 3-L
