pfc-mcp-bridge 0.1.3

WebSocket bridge for ITASCA PFC - runs inside PFC GUI to enable remote simulation control

pfc-mcp-bridge

pfc-mcp-bridge is the runtime bridge that runs inside PFC GUI and enables execution tools used by pfc-mcp.

Use this package when you want MCP clients to run scripts and diagnostics in a live PFC session.

Quick Start

Run in the PFC GUI Python console:

import subprocess
subprocess.run(["pip", "install", "pfc-mcp-bridge"])

import pfc_mcp_bridge
pfc_mcp_bridge.start()

Expected startup output:

============================================================
PFC Bridge Server
============================================================
  URL:         ws://localhost:9001
  Log:         /your-working-dir/.pfc-bridge/bridge.log
  Callbacks:   Interrupt, Diagnostic (registered)
============================================================

Task loop running via Qt timer (interval=20ms, max_tasks_per_tick=1)
Bridge started in non-blocking mode (GUI remains responsive).

No Enter confirmation is required.

Requirements

• Python >= 3.6 (PFC embedded Python)
• ITASCA PFC 7.0+ with Python support
• websockets==9.1

Troubleshooting

• Server won't start: in PFC Python, run pip install websockets==9.1
• Connection failed: check the bridge is running and port 9001 is available
• No task execution: keep pfc_mcp_bridge.start() running in the PFC process
