Managed runner services with a CLI or MCP server

What each provider's own documentation says about a command-line tool or an MCP server for AI agents. Providers not listed were not checked for this page.

Short answer

Among the runner services whose own pages were read on 2026-10-27: Namespace documents a hosted MCP server for connecting AI agents and code editors; Depot ships a command-line tool (the Depot CLI) installed with Homebrew or a script; Vitko Runners ships an open-source command-line tool (vitko) with text output for people and JSON for agents, and does not list an MCP server; GitHub itself has the GitHub CLI and publishes a GitHub MCP server for its platform. This is a sourced list of what each page says, not a test of any of them. Maintained by Vitko, Inc., which sells one of the products measured.
