What is the Highs MCP Server?

Highs MCP lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients work with Highs MCP directly. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides linear programming (LP) and mixed-integer programming (MIP) optimization capabilities using the HiGHS solver.

What Highs MCP does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides linear programming (LP) and mixed-integer programming (MIP) optimization capabilities using the HiGHS solver.

This MCP server exposes the HiGHS optimization solver through a standardized interface, allowing AI assistants and other MCP clients to solve complex optimization problems including:

Key capabilities

  • High Performance — Built on the HiGHS solver, one of the fastest open-source optimization solvers
  • Sparse Matrix Support — Efficient handling of large-scale problems with sparse constraint matrices
  • Type Safety — Full TypeScript support with Zod validation for robust error handling
  • Compact Variable Format — Self-contained variable specifications with smart defaults
  • Flexible Problem Types — Supports continuous, integer, and binary variables
  • Multiple Solver Methods — Choose between simplex, interior point, and other algorithms
  • Comprehensive Output — Returns primal solution, dual values, and reduced costs

Requirements

  • Node.js >= 16.0.0

Practical notes

  • Maintained by wspringer, written in TypeScript.
