MoldSim MCP Server

MoldSim MCP Server

Give your AI assistant injection molding expertise.

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants expert knowledge about injection molding simulation. Material properties, process validation, troubleshooting, and simulation specification generation — all available as tools.

Website: moldsim.com

Why

Setting up injection molding simulations (Moldflow, Moldex3D, Cadmould) requires deep knowledge: Cross-WLF viscosity models, Tait PVT data, processing windows, mesh strategies, DFM rules. This MCP server makes that knowledge available to any AI assistant that supports MCP.

Quick Start

Claude Code (recommended)

claude mcp add moldsim -- npx -y moldsim-mcp

That's it. Ask Claude about injection molding — it will automatically use MoldSim tools.

claude "What causes warpage in glass-filled nylon parts?"
claude "Give me the Cross-WLF parameters for PC/ABS"
claude "Validate: ABS at 245C melt, 60C mold, 2.5mm wall"

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "moldsim": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "moldsim-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

From source

git clone https://github.com/kobzevvv/moldsim-mcp.git
cd moldsim-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Then point your MCP client to node dist/index.js.

Tools

querysimulationknowledge

Free-text Q&A against the knowledge base. Ask about defects, DFM rules, mesh strategies, process optimization.

"Why is my part warping?" → causes, solutions, simulation checks
"What mesh type should I use?" → midplane vs dual-domain vs 3D guidance
"How to reduce cycle time?" → cooling optimization strategies

getmaterialproperties

Material property lookup. Returns Cross-WLF viscosity, Tait PVT, thermal, processing window, and mechanical data.

21 materials included: ABS, PP Homo, PP Copo, PA6, PA66, PA66-GF30, PC, PC/ABS, POM, HDPE, LDPE, PMMA, PBT, PBT-GF30, PET, PS, HIPS, TPU, SAN, ASA, PPE/PS

"PA66-GF30" → Cross-WLF coefficients, Tait PVT, processing window 275-310°C, fiber effects
"PC" → all properties or filter by group (viscosity, thermal, processing)

validateprocessparameters

Checks your process parameters against the material's processing window. Flags errors, warnings, and provides suggestions.

material: "ABS", melt_temp_C: 280 → ERROR: exceeds max 260°C, risk of degradation
material: "PA66", mold_temp_C: 40 → WARNING: below min 70°C, poor crystallization

generatesimulationspec

Natural language → structured simulation specification. Describe the part and get back analysis types, mesh recommendations, process conditions, and expected outputs.

"Automotive dashboard panel in PC/ABS, 2.5mm wall, warpage analysis"
→ Fill+Pack+Cool+Warp sequence, dual-domain mesh, process conditions, expected outputs

compare_materials

Side-by-side comparison of 2-4 materials. Processing windows, thermal properties, mechanical data, and auto-generated key differences.

["abs-generic", "pc", "pa66-gf30"] → comparison table with stiffness, shrinkage, heat resistance diffs

generatedfmchecklist

Design for Manufacturability checklist with pass/warn/fail ratings. Input part parameters and get 15+ DFM rule checks.

material: "ABS", wall: 2mm, rib: 1.5mm, draft: 0.5°
→ 16 checks: wall OK, rib WARN (75% ratio), draft WARN (below 1°), sink risk, venting...
