CoolProp MCP Server

MCP server exposing thermodynamic and transport properties of refrigerants (and ~130 other fluids) from CoolProp.

All values are SI units: temperature K, pressure Pa (absolute), enthalpy/internal energy J/kg, entropy J/kg/K, density kg/m³, viscosity Pa·s, conductivity W/m/K.

Tools

Fluid names follow CoolProp naming and aliases: R134a, R32, R410A, R404A, R407C, R1234yf, R290 (propane), R600a (isobutane), R744 (CO₂), R717 (ammonia), R718/Water, Air, …

Setup

python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Tests

.\.venv\Scripts\python.exe test_server.py   # tool logic + reference values
.\.venv\Scripts\python.exe test_e2e.py      # full MCP stdio round trip
