Common questions about connecting and running YADE.
What is YADE and why would I use this MCP server?
YADE is an open-source discrete element method (DEM) engine for simulating granular materials and particle systems. This MCP server lets you browse YADE's API, launch simulations, and manage tasks programmatically from your AI chat interface.
How do I install and run the YADE MCP server?
Install via `uvx yade-mcp@0.1.5`. The server communicates over stdio, so it integrates with any MCP-compatible client. Ensure YADE is installed on your system before connecting.
Can I run full DEM simulations through this server?
Yes, the server supports running simulations and managing tasks. You can configure particle properties, material parameters, and retrieve results through the API, though complex workflows may require direct YADE scripting for advanced customization.
What if I need features not exposed in the API docs?
The server provides access to YADE's documented API. For undocumented or advanced features, you may need to extend the MCP server or use YADE's Python scripting interface directly.
Is there a cost to use this MCP server?
YADE is open-source and free. This MCP server is a wrapper around YADE's API, so there is no additional licensing cost—only the computational resources required to run simulations.
MCP Playground runs 10,000+ hosted MCP servers — GitHub, Linear, Notion, Stripe, Sentry and more — across Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek and 30+ AI models. Compare model answers side-by-side, save agent presets, share runs. Zero install.
