PLAXIS · MCP
Drive PLAXIS 2D from any MCP client.
Geometry, staged construction, meshing, calculation and results — exposed as tools, over a hardened Windows-local stdio server.

mcp-name: io.github.yixuanzhong/plaxis-mcp
▸ v0.3 — set up once, launch from anywhere
Client-neutral by design: Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code/Copilot and any other conforming local stdio MCP client connect to the same unprefixed server tools.
Quickstart
1 — Set up the machine, once.
plaxis-mcp.exe setupProfiles land in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Caros\PLAXIS-MCP\profiles (override with --profile-dir). Add --skip-credentials to generate profiles now and store passwords later with plaxis-mcp.exe credentials set --profile .
The directory name is historical — it is where the first supported installer wrote —
and is kept because credential_target is derived from it.
2 — Run each role as its own process.
plaxis-mcp.exe serve --role input
plaxis-mcp.exe serve --role output--config names a profile explicitly and is equivalent. Either way serve takes every endpoint setting from the profile and the password from Windows Credential Manager, and it fails to start if any PLAXIS_* endpoint environment override is present — so a client cannot silently redirect an endpoint or inject a password.
3 — Point a client at it. See Clients; the host never connects at startup, so call the connect tool once PLAXIS is running.

PLAXIS: common questions
- Is PLAXIS MCP server safe?
- Yes, by our scan: it is graded A (88/100). Read the PLAXIS safety report
- How do I install PLAXIS?
- It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop config from the install section.
- Does PLAXIS need an API key?
- Not as far as the registry entry and our scan can tell: no credentials are declared or required.
- Is PLAXIS maintained?
- The last commit was 90 days ago (2026-08-06). The latest release is v0.3.5.
- How does PLAXIS compare with other MCP servers?
- safety score 88/100 (higher than 75% of 48,255 servers); tools 37 (the typical server has 7); tools that change things 24% (typical: 0%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break). Full comparison.
