This server does not currently have a deployable release on Glama. Follow the repository's setup instructions to install and configure it for your MCP client, including any required credentials and local dependencies.
An MCP server that exposes the four analytical tools from Homework 4 (second-order dynamics) and two new tools for early-stage bracket decisions. Built with the official MCP Python SDK (mcp 2.x).
Tool | Origin | What it answers |
| HW4 | What are ωn, ζ, ωd and the poles of this mass on this spring? |
| HW4 | How much does it overshoot, and how long until it settles? |
| HW4 | What ζ, ωn and poles meet an overshoot and settling spec? |
| HW4 | What PD gains place the poles there, and what does the real loop do? |
| New | Does a closed-form check agree with the surrogate or FEA for this bracket arm? |
| New | Which candidate designs meet the goal, which is best, and why? |
Every input carries its unit in its name (arm_length_mm, load_N) and has a valid range in its JSON schema, so out-of-range values are rejected before any code runs.
Requires Python 3.10 or newer. Node.js is only needed for the MCP Inspector.

The bracket tools use Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and typical handbook material values. They are for screening and for catching setup mistakes, not for sign-off. Confirm material data and run a verified simulation before acting on a result.
