What it can do

Replaces GUI automation with a small Abaqus plug-in that polls a job folder and runs each script in the CAE kernel, so variables persist between calls and no window focus is needed.
Returns each script's printed output and tracebacks as OK or FAILED.
Finds installed Abaqus versions and can launch CAE with the plug-in, with or without a GUI.
Looks up live API docstrings and members with a read-only describe tool, matching the installed version.

Limitations

A fork of jianzhichun/abaqus-mcp-server with few users so far.
Headless mode still checks out a CAE licence, and the HTTP transport needs a token for any non-loopback address.
The execute tool runs any code it receives.
