Simplex Method MCP Server

  • TypeScript
  • MCP
  • NodeJS

TypeScript MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that parses linear-programming problems from natural language input and returns a step-by-step XLSX file with the full simplex tableau. Exposes solver and parser tools to any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, IDE agents) — signaling current AI-tooling fluency on the 2026 agent stack.

Project highlights

  1. Natural-Language to LP: The parser turns a plain-English description of an optimization problem into a structured linear program, eliminating the need for hand-formatting the standard-form tableau before solving.

  2. Step-by-Step Audit Trail: Rather than returning only the optimum, the server emits a full XLSX with each pivot iteration, basis change and reduced-cost computation — usable both as a teaching tool and as a verifiable artifact for analyst review.

  3. MCP-Native Design: Built against the Model Context Protocol, the server exposes solve and parse as discrete tools so any MCP-capable agent (Claude Desktop, IDE assistants) can chain them inside larger workflows.
