openfoam-mcp (Monishkumarvr)
MCP server that enables AI agents to interact with OpenFOAM for foundry casting and metallurgical simulations, with automated case setup, defect prediction and gating system optimization tools.
What it does and how it connects
openfoam-mcp is an MCP server that enables AI agents like Claude to interact with OpenFOAM for foundry casting and metallurgical simulations. It offers 12 plus foundry specific tools, automated case setup for different casting types, a material database with properties for common metals and mold materials, defect prediction for porosity, shrinkage, hot spots, cold shuts, and misruns, and parametric optimization for gating systems.
The server covers multi physics support for mold filling, solidification, and heat transfer, with parallel execution for faster simulations. The example workflow in the README runs from creating a mold filling simulation for an aluminum casting at 750 degrees C with a sand mold, through case creation, geometry and material setup, meshing, running the simulation, and analyzing results for defects.
Prerequisites are Python 3.10 or later, OpenFOAM v11 or later, and Claude Code or another MCP compatible client, with ParaView optional for visualization and PyFoam optional for advanced OpenFOAM file parsing. The README installation section still carries a yourusername placeholder in its clone URL, which is a small documentation defect.
