Hydrata - ANUGA Flood Simulation — Claude Code MCP server
This MCP server runs ANUGA flood models in Hydrata Cloud, reports run progress, and returns simulation results. Use it when an agent needs to manage flood scenarios.
claude mcp add --transport http hydrata-mcp-server https://hydrata.com/mcp/What Hydrata - ANUGA Flood Simulation does
The server connects an MCP client to Hydrata Cloud over Streamable HTTP. An agent can create ANUGA projects, register a projection, prepare terrain and input layers, create time series, and build scenarios. It can then start, poll, cancel, or retry a run and inspect its logs and result layers.
Each tool call needs the caller’s Hydrata agent key with read, draft, or launch access. Hydrata checks that credential against the user’s project permissions. Without an accepted key, requests receive 401; external accounts also cannot connect through a self-serve flow yet. A run above the key’s monthly spend limit stops before compute and returns a browser consent link.
Terrain and input data must be prepared first. presign_terrain_upload provides a URL for the agent to upload a GeoTIFF, while attach_input_layer links an uploaded GeoJSON dataset to the project. Scenario builds expose a mesh estimate and can require confirm=true for a large mesh.
What it helps with
- run a flood simulation from an ANUGA scenario
- create a project with an EPSG projection
- attach boundary, building, or culvert GeoJSON data
- poll a run until its status or error is available
- inspect simulation logs and result layers
Example prompts for the agent
- Create an ANUGA project with the required EPSG projection and prepare a flood scenario.
- Attach the uploaded GeoJSON as a
boundarylayer, then build the scenario and show its mesh estimate. - Start the scenario run and keep checking its status until it finishes or reports an error.

Questions about Hydrata - ANUGA Flood Simulation
How do I install Hydrata - ANUGA Flood Simulation in Claude Code?
Run these commands in order: claude mcp add --transport http hydrata-mcp-server https://hydrata.com/mcp/, then claude mcp add --transport http hydrata-anuga-flood-simulation https://hydrata.com/mcp/.
What does Hydrata - ANUGA Flood Simulation do?
It gives an MCP client access to Hydrata Cloud projects, inputs, scenarios, and flood runs. The agent can assemble an ANUGA model, launch a simulation, follow its progress, and retrieve result details.
What is required before a simulation can start?
The caller needs a Hydrata agent key with the required access level. Terrain and input layers must be prepared first, and a run over the key’s spend limit requires browser consent.
