Question 1

Is CONTAM MCP compatible with various AI agent hosts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, CONTAM MCP is designed for host-agnostic usage. Any MCP-capable local host that can launch a `stdio` MCP server, such as Codex Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor, can utilize it.

Question 2

What is CONTAM MCP?

Accepted Answer

CONTAM MCP is a Windows-first MCP server designed to expose CONTAM command-line tools and ContamX bridge-mode controls, enabling AI agents to automate complex building simulation workflows programmatically.

Question 3

How do I easily connect to CONTAM MCP?

Accepted Answer

The easiest way is to configure your MCP host to run `npx -y --package github:summer521521/contam_MCP contam-mcp`. This avoids manual setup and allows for a quick start.

Question 4

Can CONTAM MCP help diagnose issues in simulation projects?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. It allows agents to inspect project metadata, external file references, and diagnose broken references (e.g., missing weather or support files) before running simulations, improving workflow reliability.

Question 5

What are the main capabilities of CONTAM MCP for AI agents?

Accepted Answer

AI agents can use CONTAM MCP to inspect `.prj` models, diagnose broken references, run `contamx3.exe` simulations, compare `.sim` files with `simcomp.exe`, export `simread` text, and dynamically control ContamX bridge sessions.
