PyLumerical MCP Server provides a [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/)
server that enables AI assistants to interact with Ansys Lumerical (FDTD, MODE,
DEVICE, INTERCONNECT) through
[PyLumerical](https://github.com/ansys/pylumerical). This server enables
natural language interaction with Lumerical for photonics and electromagnetic
simulation workflows.

## Overview

Key features:

- **Multi-session management**: Open, list, and close multiple concurrent
  Lumerical sessions (FDTD, MODE, DEVICE, INTERCONNECT) under user-chosen names.
- **Persistent Python execution**: Run arbitrary Python and PyLumerical code
  against live Lumerical handles, with state preserved across tool calls.
- **Workflow guidance**: Access context and best practices for Lumerical simulations.
- **Cross platform support**: Enable Windows and Linux support with headless CAD.

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, or 3.14
- Ansys Lumerical installation
- Ansys Lumerical license
