Genesis MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Genesis World simulations with visualization support.

Quick Start

For the fastest way to get started with visualization:

# Run the simplified setup script (only installs what's needed)
./setup.sh

# Run the stdio client (opens a visualization window)
./examples/stdio_client.py

This will directly start a Genesis World simulation with visualization using stdio transport.

Transport Method: stdio

This server uses stdio transport which is required for Genesis World visualization features. The visualization components require a local runtime and cannot work over network transports.

Setup

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+

• uv package manager (pip install uv)

• npm (optional, for MCP Inspector)

Installation

Linux/macOS

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/username/genesis-mcp.git
cd genesis-mcp

# Run the setup script
./setup.sh

# Activate the virtual environment
source .venv/bin/activate

Windows

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/username/genesis-mcp.git
cd genesis-mcp

# Run the setup script
setup.bat

# Activate the virtual environment
.venv\Scripts\activate.bat

Manual Installation with uv

If you prefer to install dependencies manually:

1. Create a virtual environment:

   uv venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate  # Linux/macOS
   .venv\Scripts\activate.bat  # Windows

2. Install dependencies from lock file:

   uv pip install -r requirements.lock
   uv pip install -e .
   uv pip install genesis==0.2.1 --no-deps

3. Install MCP Inspector (optional):

   npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/inspector@0.6.0

Running the Server

# Run with stdio transport (required for visualization)
./start.sh


### Using with the MCP Inspector

To use with the MCP Inspector for debugging:

```bash
# In one terminal, start the inspector
mcp-inspector

# In another terminal, start the server with stdio transport
python server.py

Configure the MCP Inspector with:

• Transport Type: STDIO

• Command: python

• Arguments: server.py
