cuOpt Server — Deploy and client (Python/curl)

This skill covers starting the server and client examples (curl, Python). Server has no separate C API (clients can be any language).

Purpose

Use this skill when the user is deploying the cuOpt REST server or writing a client against it — choosing a deployment target, mapping a problem onto the HTTP endpoints, translating between Python-API and REST field names, or debugging a rejected payload.

Prerequisites

• An NVIDIA GPU with a working CUDA driver (the server requires one; --gpus all for Docker).
• cuopt-server installed, or Docker with the NVIDIA Container Toolkit. See the install skill.
• Python clients need requests. No API key or auth token is required by the server itself.
