MCP server for ASE and more.
Project description
⚛️ MCP Atomic Toolkit
[!NOTE] This project is under active development. Interfaces and behavior may evolve.
A FastMCP server for atomistic modeling workflows powered by ASE, pymatgen, and modern ML interatomic potentials.
It gives MCP clients a practical toolkit for:
- building structures,
- running geometry optimization + molecular dynamics,
- analyzing structures/trajectories,
- and downloading generated artifacts (data + plots).
✨ Why this repo
If you need atomistic workflows exposed as MCP tools (instead of hand-wiring scripts), this project gives you:
- ready-to-call MCP tools for common simulation tasks,
- file-first outputs that are easy to inspect/reuse,
- artifact download URLs so clients don’t need binary blobs in chat context,
- deployment-ready HTTP app with health and server-card endpoints.
🚀 Features
- MCP-native workflows via FastMCP tools
- Structure generation: bulk, surface, molecule, supercell, amorphous, liquid, bicrystal, polycrystal
- Optimization workflows with MLIPs (
nequixdefault,orbsupported) - Molecular dynamics workflows (Velocity Verlet, Langevin, NVT Berendsen)
- Analysis outputs:
- RDF + coordination stats
- MSD + thermodynamic trends
- VACF + diffusion (Green-Kubo)
- Downloadable artifacts (
xyz,extxyz,cif,traj,png,svg,csv,dat, ...) - Registry-friendly endpoints (
/healthz, server card, Streamable HTTP root)
⚡ Quick Start
1) Requirements

🤝 Contributing
- Keep outputs file-based and artifact-friendly.
- When adding tools, usually update both:
workflows/core.pymcp_server.py
- Preserve
