# Onboard Team Members with AI Agents

> Use MCP tools to show available templates, explain environments, create a dev environment, and deploy a first instance — helping new team members get started.

When a new team member joins, your AI agent can walk them through the workspace: show available templates, explain the environment structure, create a dev environment, and deploy their first instance.

***

## "I just joined the team. What resources and templates are available?"

The agent gives an overview:

1. **`list_templates`** — shows available instance templates
2. **`list_environments`** — shows the environment structure
3. **`list_gpu_types`** — shows GPU options with pricing
4. **`billing_balance`** — checks workspace credits

> **Welcome to the workspace. Here's what's available:**
>
> **Instance templates:**
>
> | Template         | Description                                         |
> | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
> | ubuntu-devbox    | Ubuntu 22.04 with Python 3.11, CUDA 12.4, dev tools |
> | ubuntu-train     | Ubuntu with PyTorch, DeepSpeed, NCCL pre-installed  |
> | ubuntu-inference | Ubuntu with vLLM, TGI, optimized for serving        |
>
> **Environments:** main (default), staging, production
>
> **GPU options:**
>
> | GPU        | VRAM  | Price/hr  |
> | ---------- | ----- | --------- |
> | RTX 4090   | 24 GB | \$0.35/hr |
> | A100 80 GB | 80 GB | \$1.60/hr |
> | H100 80 GB | 80 GB | \$2.50/hr |
>
> **Workspace balance:** \$1,247.80
>
> For development, I'd recommend starting with an RTX 4090 (\$0.35/hr) using the ubuntu-devbox template.

***

## "Create a dev environment for me and deploy my first instance."

The agent sets up the new team member:

1. **`create_environment`** — creates a `dev-alex` environment
2. **`create_instance`** — deploys `alex-devbox` with RTX 4090 using the devbox template
3. **`instance_status`** — waits until running
4. **`get_instance`** — retrieves connection details

> * Created environment **dev-alex**
> * Deployed **alex-devbox** (RTX 4090, 24 GB VRAM, \$0.35/hr)
>
> **Connect:** `ssh root@203.0.113.55`
>
> **Pre-installed:** Python 3.11, CUDA 12.4, pip, git, htop, tmux.
> Your instance runs in the **dev-alex** environment, separate from staging/production. All environments share the workspace credit balance. Terminate when done to stop billing.

***

## "Show me what the team is running so I understand the setup."

The agent maps out the workspace:

1. **`list_environments`** — lists all environments
2. **`list_instances`** — lists all instances across environments
3. **`list_volumes`** — lists all storage
4. **`list_ssh_keys`** — lists team SSH keys

> **Team infrastructure overview:**
>
> **production** (do not modify without approval)
>
> * prod-inference (H100) — Llama 70B vLLM server, running 12 days
> * model-weights volume (500 GB) — production model checkpoints
>
> **staging**
>
> * staging-test (A100) — testing new model versions before promotion
>
> **main** (shared development)
>
> * dev-box (RTX 4090) — Sarah's dev instance
>
> **dev-alex** (your environment)
>
> * alex-devbox (RTX 4090) — your dev instance
>
> **Team SSH keys:** 4 keys registered (macbook-pro, ci-deploy, workstation, alex-laptop)
>
> **Ground rules:** Production instances are managed by the ML ops lead. Staging is for pre-production testing. Use your own environment (dev-alex) for experiments. Terminate instances when not in use.
