## PETSc Claude code generator server

<http://mcp.petsc-ai.org:8083/mcp> or <https://mcp.petsc-ai.org:8446/mcp>

Provides a MCP agent that generates PETSc examples

### Purpose

The purpose of this MCP agent is to enable the implementation of "higher-level" PETSc MCP agents that need to have trustworthy code
generated and tested for them.

### Usage

The MCP agent may be tested from the command line using

```bash
python petsc_claude_code_generator_mcp_client.py [--stdio] [--url PETSC_MCP_SERVERS_URL] --generate_code request
```

The client Python file also contains a `PetscClaudeCodeGeneratorMCPClient()` class that connects to the server and has a (mirror)
method for each tool provided by the server.


To start the MCP server locally

```bash
python CLAUDE_API_KEY=zzz petsc_claude_coder_generator_mcp_server.py [--stdio]
```

### Limitations

This is not fully featured, more just a proof of principle, it essentially just asks Claude to generate code and then does some very rundamentary checking of the code.
