Computes polars over a list of angles of attack at a given Reynolds and Mach number.
Returns CSV with alpha, CL, CD and CM first, keeping any extra XFOIL columns.
Records the working directory and metadata for each run so you can trace which inputs produced a polar.
Ships a cosine-spaced NACA 2412 sample and a Docker recipe that avoids building XFOIL natively.

Last updated in November 2025, with few users so far.
Building XFOIL natively on macOS or Linux needs X11 headers; the Docker route avoids this.
The README's uvx xfoil-mcp command assumes a PyPI package that wasn't published at this check; install from the Git URL.

uv pip install "git+https://github.com/Three-Little-Birds/xfoil-mcp.git"

python -m xfoil_mcp
