MaterialsCodeGraph MCP server

Which MCP servers are MaterialsCodeGraph's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namecom.materialscodegraph/mcgverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under materialscodegraph.com. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

  • Stateanswerschecked 2026-10-24
  • Tools12
  • Server calls itselfmcg
  • Server version0.1.0
  • Protocol version2025-06-18

On 2026-10-24 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 133 ms.

Should an agent connect itConnect it, with care
  • Its tools do price a thermal conductivity calculation before running it, but not estimate cure degree of an epoxy after an isothermal hold.

Once connected

  • For "price a thermal conductivity calculation before running it", the likely first call is mcg_quote.
  • mcg_delete_study, mcg_cancel_run change data without a sign-in: anyone with the address can call them.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

What an agent can do with it

  • can do · price a thermal conductivity calculation before running it
  • not sure · run phonon Boltzmann calculations for silicon on kaldo or quantum espresso
  • cannot · estimate cure degree of an epoxy after an isothermal hold

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

  • Tools that change data, on a server that answers without a sign-in: mcg_delete_study, mcg_cancel_run

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

Tools it offers12 tools · read 2026-10-24
  • mcg_catalog

    Enabled simulation kinds (each with example mcg_quote arguments that price, or a note naming what must exist first; traced says whether the kind's default lineage has a single public OpenMaterials node pin, traced_note why or why not…

  • mcg_rates

    The public rate card: token_usd, overheads, rate_card_version. FREE, no arguments; also a connectivity check.

  • mcg_quote

    Price a simulation. FREE: no hardware starts. Returns quote_id, quote_hash, tokens, rate_card_version, wall_s, expires_at, resource_class, resource_label and sku (the GPU class the quote is bound to, its name, and the offer SKU it priced…

  • mcg_clusters

    Connected clusters: id, name, preset (hive or auto), status (pending until the agent's first sync; connected; stale: the agent stopped syncing; revoked; scheduler_down: the agent syncs but cannot reach the scheduler, nothing is offered…

  • mcg_stage

    Create a DRAFT simulation whose input files are uploaded before pricing. FREE. Takes the same kind, spec, study, material and conditions as mcg_quote plus inputs: one entry per file the run needs, each with a name and, for small text…

  • mcg_run

    Launch the quoted simulation. SPENDS TOKENS: provisions hardware and bills the account. Requires the quote_id and quote_hash from mcg_quote (a stale hash or an expired quote REJECTS: re-quote and retry) and a client-generated…

  • mcg_list_runs

    List runs, newest first: every run of this key's owner, or one quote's runs when quote_id is given. Each row carries state, spend_tokens, created_by_key_name (null when launched in the browser), study, headline (the AI brief's first line)…

  • mcg_get_study

    Fetch a study (the project a quote's `study` named) with its member simulations and their latest runs. Pass study_id or the exact name. Returns study, members (each with app_url) and app_url.

  • mcg_get_run

    Fetch a run's state, event timeline and LLM spend. The payload leads with a derived summary (state, current_stage, billing {quoted_tokens, charged_tokens, hold, policy}, fault, refusal, next, last event) for cheap polling, then app_url…

  • mcg_cancel_run

    Cancel a run from any non-terminal state before collecting (a collecting run's outputs are delivered and charged: 409). The cancel request is recorded immediately and returns run_id and cancel_requested true; the platform kills the…

  • mcg_fetch_artifacts

    List a run's collected artifacts as a typed manifest: artifacts, a list of path, bytes, stage and sha256 per file, plus removed on a file the retention sweep deleted (its bytes are gone; do not fetch it) and attribution on a third-party…

  • mcg_get_artifact

    Fetch one artifact file's TEXT content, up to max_bytes (default 65536), with an explicit truncation note. Binary content REJECTS with unsupported_content; fetch binaries from the run's public page. A third-party model's file returns its…

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcg": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.materialscodegraph.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http materialscodegraph https://api.materialscodegraph.com/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://api.materialscodegraph.com/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
