su2-mcp

su2-mcp exposes SU2 session lifecycle, config editing, solver execution, and results inspection through an MCP server.

Features

• Session lifecycle management with per-session working directories.
• Config helpers for reading, parsing, and updating SU2 .cfg files.
• Mesh upload and automatic MESH_FILENAME synchronization.
• Optional STEP -> SU2 mesh conversion via gmsh (generate_mesh_from_step).
• Solver wrappers for SU2_CFD and SU2_DEF with timeout/missing-binary handling.
• Result-file listing, base64 download, history CSV parsing, and surface sampling.

Install

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .[dev]

Run the Server

StdIO (default)

su2-mcp --transport stdio

HTTP transports

su2-mcp --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8002 --path /mcp
su2-mcp --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8002 --streamable-http-path /mcp

Server-Sent Events (SSE)

su2-mcp --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --mount-path / --sse-path /sse

Programmatic entrypoints are available from su2_mcp.main.

Development

make dev
make lint
make type
make test
make docs

Full local CI-style gate:

make ci

Checking SU2 binaries

The MCP tool get_su2_status reports availability of common SU2 binaries (SU2_CFD, SU2_CFD_MPI, SU2_DEF).

Optional SU2 dependency extra

pip install .[su2]

System dependencies

The Python package is pure Python, but some tools rely on external executables:

• run_su2_solver / generate_deformed_mesh: requires SU2 binaries on PATH
• generate_mesh_from_step: requires gmsh on PATH

Shared-CPACS Integration

This MCP includes a CPACS adapter (src/su2_mcp/cpacs_adapter.py) that bridges SU2 to the shared-CPACS aircraft analysis pipeline.

What it does

The adapter reads reference geometry and flight conditions from CPACS, meshes STEP files via Gmsh, runs real SU2_CFD Euler simulations, parses CL/CD from history.csv, and writes aerodynamic results into //analysisResults/aero.

Direction	XPath
Reads	.//vehicles/aircraft/model/reference, .//analysisResults/tigl
Writes	.//vehicles/aircraft/model/analysisResults/aero (CL, CD, L/D, solver info)

Running as part of the pipeline

python pipeline/shared_cpacs_orchestrator.py D150_v30.xml --mcps tigl su2 pycycle mission

See cmudrc/aircraft-analysis for full pipeline documentation, versioning details, and installation instructions.
