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/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.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
query_simulation_knowledge
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
get_material_properties
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)
validate_process_parameters
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
generate_simulation_spec
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
generate_dfm_checklist
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...
Examples
Ask your AI assistant:
- "What are the Cross-WLF parameters for PA66-GF30?"
- "I'm getting sink marks on my PC housing — what should I check?"
- "Validate my process: ABS at 250°C melt, 70°C mold, 2mm wall"
- "Generate a simulation spec for a PP container with 1.5mm walls"
- "Compare ABS vs PC vs PA66-GF30 for an automotive connector"
- "Run a DFM check: 2mm wall, 1.5mm ribs, 0.5° draft in PC"
- "What mesh type should I use for a thick-walled POM gear (5mm)?"
- "How do I fix warpage in a glass-filled PA66 connector?"
