axiomatic-mcp 0.1.14

Modular MCP servers for Axiomatic_AI

Axiomatic MCP Servers

MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that provide AI assistants with access to the Axiomatic_AI Platform - a suite of advanced tools for scientific computing, document processing, and photonic circuit design.

🚀 Quickstart

1. Check system requirements

• Python
  • Install here
• uv
  • Install here
  • Recommended not to install in conda (see Troubleshooting)
• install extra packages (optional)
  • If you wish to use the AxPhotonicsPreview, you will need to install extra dependencies before continuing. After installing uv, run uv tool install "axiomatic-mcp[pic]".

2. Install your favourite client

Cursor installation

3. Get an API key

You will receive an API key by email shortly after filling the form. Check your spam folder if it doesn't arrive.

4. Install Axiomatic Operators (all except AxPhotonicsPreview)

⚡ Claude Code

claude mcp add axiomatic-mcp --env AXIOMATIC_API_KEY=your-api-key-here -- uvx --from axiomatic-mcp all

🔷 Cursor

🤖 Claude Desktop

1. Open Claude Desktop settings → Developer → Edit MCP config
2. Add this configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "axiomatic-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "axiomatic-mcp", "all"],
      "env": {
        "AXIOMATIC_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop

🔮 Gemini CLI

Follow the MCP install guide and use the standard configuration above.
See the official instructions here: Gemini CLI MCP Server Guide

{
  "axiomatic-mcp": {
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": ["--from", "axiomatic-mcp", "all"],
    "env": {
      "AXIOMATIC_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
    }
  }
}

🌬️ Windsurf

Follow the Windsurf MCP documentation.
Use the standard configuration above.

{
  "axiomatic-mcp": {
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": ["--from", "axiomatic-mcp", "all"],
    "env": {
      "AXIOMATIC_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
    }
  }
}

🧪 LM Studio

Click the button to install:

Note: After installing via the button, open LM Studio MCP settings and add:

"env": {
  "AXIOMATIC_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}

💻 Codex

Create or edit the configuration file ~/.codex/config.toml and add:

[mcp_servers.axiomatic-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["--from", "axiomatic-mcp", "all"]
env = { AXIOMATIC_API_KEY = "your-api-key-here" }

For more information, see the Codex MCP documentation

🌊 Other MCP Clients

Use this server configuration:

{
  "command": "uvx",
  "args": ["--from", "axiomatic-mcp", "all"],
  "env": {
    "AXIOMATIC_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
  }
}

Note: This installs all tools except for AxPhotonicsPreview under one server. If you experience other issues, try individual servers instead.

Troubleshooting

Cannot install in Conda environment

It's not recommended to install axiomatic operators inside a conda environment. uv handles seperate python environments so it is safe to run "globally" without affecting your existing Python environments

Server not appearing in Cursor

1. Restart Cursor after updating MCP settings
2. Check the Output panel (View → Output → MCP) for errors
3. Verify the command path is correct

The "Add to cursor" button does not work

We have seen reports of the cursor window not opening correctly. If this happens you may manually add to cursor by:

1. Open cursor
2. Go to "Settings" > "Cursor Settings" > "MCP & Integration"
3. Click "New MCP Server"
4. Add the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "axiomatic-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx --from axiomatic-mcp all",
      "env": {
        "AXIOMATIC_API_KEY": "YOUR API KEY"
      },
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Multiple servers overwhelming the LLM

Install only the domain servers you need. Each server runs independently, so you can add/remove them as needed.

API connection errors

1. Verify your API key is set correctly
2. Check internet connection

Tools not appearing

If you experience any issues such as tools not appearing, it may be that you are using an old version and need to clear uv's cache to update it.

uv cache clean

Then restart your MCP client (e.g. restart Cursor).

This clears the uv cache and forces fresh downloads of packages on the next run.

Individual servers

You may find more information about each server and how to install them individually in their own READMEs.
