{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pyvista-pyvista-mcp-server": {
      "command": "<path-to-python-executable>",
      "args": [
        "<path-to-server-script>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

You run a PyVista-based MCP server that connects 3D visualization capabilities with the Model Context Protocol, exposing tools you can invoke from an MCP client and producing interactive outputs like HTML visualizations for local viewing.

How to use

To use this MCP server, you start it locally and connect with an MCP client. The server exposes a visualization tool named hello_world that generates a 3x3 grid of 3D shapes and exports it as an interactive HTML file named a_basic.html. Open that HTML file in a web browser to explore the results.

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have Python installed on your system. You may also want a virtual environment to isolate dependencies.

Step 1: Create and activate a virtual environment.

Step 2: Install required dependencies (adjust if your project uses a different workflow). For example, you might install from a requirements file or a package manifest that accompanies the server.

Step 3: Run the MCP server using the local, stdio-based command shown in the configuration snippet below.
