ParaView MCP Server

Overview

ParaView MCP Server lets you control ParaView through arbitrary Python code via the Model Context Protocol. Instead of switching between applications, AI assistants can invoke ParaView directly as callable tools, streamlining scientific visualization workflows.

The server runs locally on your machine. Install it with uvx paraview-mcp-server, and it communicates with MCP clients over stdio. No authentication is required. Version v0.2.3 is available now under the MIT license, with source code at failed33/paraview-mcp on GitHub.

ParaView MCP Server is listed in the Development category on mcp.site and works with any MCP client, including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server, claim your listing to verify ownership and keep information current.
