This 90-minute hands-on workshop demonstrates how to drive OpenFOAM with AI agents through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). We will showcase a live CFD case using two approaches: a frontier cloud model and a fully local model, both utilizing the same reusable MCP servers. Attendees will leave with a take-home repository and contribute to a shared, citable corpus of CFD reasoning by authoring a tutorial annotation from their own domain during the session. 

In this workshop, you will learn: 

• Set up OpenFOAM workflows including meshing, boundary conditions and numerical schemes through transparent, AI-narrated choices. 
• Walk away with a take-home repository featuring reusable MCP servers, equipping you to run applied CFD simulations across both local LLMs and frontier cloud models. 
• Gain practical experience validating AI-generated numerical decisions against reference data, culminating in an authoring exercise.
