Simengine Overview

The simengine MCP server connects AI agents to a domain-agnostic Monte Carlo engine for simulating uncertain outcomes, evaluating safety constraints, and optimizing decisions. It accepts JSON-defined variables, controls, logic, metrics, and risk tolerances, then runs thousands of simulated futures and returns structured results. Reach for it when a decision model needs probability distributions, scenario analysis, Bayesian updates, or constraint-aware optimization rather than deterministic calculations. The package runs with Python 3.8+ and can be installed through uvx without additional dependencies.

Primary Use Cases for Simengine:
  • Model business, investment, or project outcomes under uncertainty
  • Evaluate chance and CVaR constraints before choosing a strategy
  • Optimize tunable controls against configured fitness scores
  • Update probability models with observed evidence
