Set up or verify unattended Nebius CLI authentication on a VM or CI runner using a project-scoped service account, an attached VM identity, or an authorized-key profile. Use human OAuth skills when the operator needs their personal identity.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Nebius service-account authentication A service account gives the VM its own identity and permissions. Initial setup requires an authenticated administrator for the target project; subsequent CLI authentication needs no browser or copied human OAuth cache. Nebius documents the [authorized-key flow](https://docs.nebius.com/cli/no-browser) and [VM attachment](https://docs.nebius.com/cli/compute-vm). ## Choose the identity before changing IAM Use this route for unattended workloads or a requested service-account setup. For interactive work as the human operator, prefer [vm-nebius-auth](../vm-nebius-auth/SKILL.md) when SSH forwarding is available, or [nebius-headless-oauth](../nebius-headless-oauth/SKILL.md) when a private terminal is available but callback forwarding is not. Human OAuth needs no new IAM identity and retains the operator's existing permissions; a service account has its own grants and credential lifecycle. For a readiness-only request, run the selected profile's Nebius preflight and report its result without changing credentials or IAM. Perform authorized IAM setup on the already authenticated operator machine. Resolve the exact project …

How to install
mdr add nebius/nebius-physical-ai/nebius-service-account-auth@sha256:7f426645b4dbaef2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.d743f18, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
