Connects Claude to Hydrata Cloud for running ANUGA hydrodynamic flood simulations and retrieving results. You get tools to list projects, configure scenarios, start simulations on local or AWS compute backends (EC2 or Batch), poll run status, and pull back completed results. The typical flow is list your projects, pick a scenario, kick off a simulation, poll status until complete, then fetch the full run with timing and output. ANUGA itself is an open source shallow water equation solver from Geoscience Australia that runs on unstructured triangular meshes. Requires a Hydrata account. Useful if you're doing hydraulic modeling or flood risk analysis and want to script simulation runs through conversation.
MCP server for Hydrata Cloud — run ANUGA flood simulations, track progress, and retrieve results through the Model Context Protocol.

Hydrata is a geospatial hydraulic modeling platform. It runs ANUGA flood simulations in the cloud — upload terrain data, configure scenarios, run simulations on managed compute (Celery, EC2, or AWS Batch), and visualise results on interactive maps.
ANUGA is an open-source hydrodynamic model developed by Geoscience Australia and the Australian National University. It solves the shallow water wave equations using finite volumes on an unstructured triangular mesh.
