pfc-mcp

Overview

pfc-mcp is a specialized MCP server that bridges AI agents with ITASCA's Particle Flow Code (PFC), a discrete element method simulation software. It provides both documentation tools for browsing PFC commands and execution tools for running simulations directly through natural language. The server supports multiple PFC versions and offers features like interactive REPL, task management, and progress monitoring.
