Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Concrete-Properties-MCP ServerCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Install required Python libraries (mcp, matplotlib, concreteproperties), download the repository, optionally edit src/config.json, then configure an MCP‑capable AI client (e.g., Claude Desktop, 5ire, or VS Code Copilot) to launch the server with python src/server.py.
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

Concrete-Properties-MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol Server for Reinforced Concrete Section Analysis
🚀 Overview
The Concrete-Properties-MCP Server provides a unified API interface for interacting with the Concrete Properties Python library. It enables AI-driven calculation of section properties and capacities of reinforced concrete sections through a consistent interface.
✨ Supported Features
- Section Properties:
- Calculate geometric properties (area, centroid, moment of inertia, etc.)
- Compute transformed section properties
- Reinforced Concrete Analysis:
- Calculate axial, bending, and combined capacities
- Determine interaction diagrams
- Material Properties:
- Define concrete and reinforcement material properties
- Support for multiple concrete grades and steel types
🖥️ MCP Tools
The server provides the following main API functions:
- rectangular_concrete_area_properties: Compute the rectangular concrete section geometric properties.
- arbitrary_concrete_area_properties: Compute arbitrary concrete section geometric properties.
- rectangular_concrete_bending_capacity: Compute the rectangular concrete section bending capacities (Mx+, Mx- and My) under the given axial load.
- rect_concrete_axial_moment_x_points: Compute the rectangular concrete section axial - moment/bending (around X) interaction diagram points.
- rect_concrete_axial_moment_y_points: Compute the rectangular concrete section axial - moment/bending (around Y) interaction diagram points.
- rect_concrete_axial_moment_x_image: Plots the rectangular concrete section axial - moment/bending (around X) interaction diagram points.
- rect_concrete_axial_moment_y_image: Plots the rectangular concrete section axial - moment/bending (around Y) interaction diagram points.
⚙️ Installation
Requirements
Required Python libraries:
mcp>=0.1.0 # Model Control Protocol library
matplotlib>=3.10.1 # Library for plots
concreteproperties>=0.6.4 # Concrete Properties library
Guide
1. Install the required Python libraries from the command line:
pip install mcp concreteproperties matplotlib
//or
pip install -r requirements. txt
2. Download this repository and save the extracted files locally (e.g., at ``
C:\your_path_to_the_extracted_server\concrete-properties-mcp\`).
3. (Optional) Edit the MCP server configuration file, located at src/config.json (see configuration section).
4. Install Claude Desktop (or another AI client with MCP support).
5. Configure Claude Desktop to launch the MCP Server automatically (see Claude Desktop section).
6. You are good to go!
