PyMAPDL MCP Server
PyMAPDL MCP Server provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to interact with Ansys MAPDL (Mechanical APDL) through PyMAPDL. This server enables natural language interaction with MAPDL for finite element analysis tasks.
Overview
Key features:
- Dynamic connection management: Launch new MAPDL instances, connect to existing ones, or disconnect on demand
- Execute MAPDL commands: Run single commands or batch multiple commands for efficiency
- Custom Python execution: Run arbitrary Python and PyMAPDL code in a persistent session
- Advanced visualization: Create custom
matplotlibandpyvistaplots, or capture MAPDL native plots - Workflow guidance: Access comprehensive context and best practices for all phases of MAPDL simulations
- Flexible deployment: Works with MAPDL running locally, remotely, or in Docker containers
