Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@NovaSolver Studio MCP Server Import bracket.step, fix the bottom face, apply 500 N on top, run and verify it."
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Open-source engineering simulation you can trust — structural, thermal and flow — operable by you or by your AI assistant. 構造・熱・流れを解く、オープンソースの解析ソフト。画面からも、AI アシスタント（MCP）からも操作できます。
Early preview (v0.x). Every result comes with a clear status: ran → converged → verified. 開発中のプレビュー版です。結果には常に「実行できた → 収束した → 検証済み」の判定がつきます。
Analysis | Geometry | Quick preview (built-in, seconds) | Final solve | Verification |
Structural (linear static) | templates · import STEP / IGES / BREP | quadratic tetrahedral FEM | CalculiX | beam theory, Heywood Kt, mesh convergence (GCI) |
Thermal (steady conduction) | templates · import | quadratic tetrahedral FEM | CalculiX | Fourier's law, fin theory, GCI |
Internal flow | templates · import | 2D cavity (built-in) | OpenFOAM® | Ghia (cavity), Poiseuille, mass balance |
Flow around a body | import | — | OpenFOAM® (snappyHexMesh + wall layers) | sphere drag vs Schiller–Naumann (+0.3%) |
Water cooling (conjugate heat transfer) | import (2+ bodies) | — | OpenFOAM® (chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam) | heat balance (0.03%) |
Verified, not just "it ran" — every template is checked against an analytic or literature reference; imported shapes are checked by an automatic mesh-convergence study (Roache GCI).
Warnings that matter — e.g. stress above yield: the linear result does not hold, even if "verified".
Japanese / English / Chinese UI, light & dark.
MCP server with typed tools: create or import a case, set conditions, run, check convergence, verify, render. No shell or code-execution tool. Your AI's edits appear live in the GUI.

CalculiX: put ccx_static.exe under solvers/calculix/ or set NOVASTUDIO_CCX.
OpenFOAM (ESI Windows MinGW build): install to %LOCALAPPDATA%\NovaSolverStudio\solvers\openfoam (an ASCII-only
path) or set NOVASTUDIO_OPENFOAM. Put Microsoft MPI's msmpi.dll in %LOCALAPPDATA%\NovaSolverStudio\solvers\msmpi.
Easiest (Claude Desktop and other MCPB-aware apps): download novasolver-studio-<version>-win64.mcpb from
Releases and open it — the app installs it as an extension.
Also listed in the MCP Registry as io.github.novasolver/novasolver-studio.
With the downloaded zip: point any MCP client at the exe.
