A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing AI assistants with access to IMAS (Integrated Modelling & Analysis Suite) data structures through natural language search and optimized path indexing.

## Quick Start

Select the setup method that matches your environment:

- HTTP (Hosted): Zero install. Connect to the public endpoint running the latest tagged MCP server from the ITER Organization.
- UV (Local): Install and run in your own Python environment for editable development.
- Docker : Run an isolated container with pre-built indexes.
- Slurm / HPC (STDIO): Launch inside a cluster allocation without opening network ports.

Choose hosted for instant access; choose a local option for customization or controlled resources.
