OPM Flow MCP servers and AI agent skills

How AI connects to OPM Flow

An MCP server or skill can only do what OPM Flow lets programs do. OPM Flow exposes 2 automation interfaces:

• Python bindings (opm.common and opm.simulators) (Python): The OPM Python documentation covers running Flow from Python and the class documentation for opm.common and opm.simulators. opm.common parses decks and reads result files, which is how opm-mcp inspects keywords, wells and schedule steps before a run. The same page documents the PYACTION keyword, which calls a Python script from inside a running simulation to change controls at report steps. Documentation
• ECLIPSE-compatible input decks (Input files): Flow reads the familiar DATA deck with its RUNSPEC, GRID, PROPS, SOLUTION and SCHEDULE sections and INCLUDE files, and writes UNSMRY, UNRST, EGRID and INIT results in ECLIPSE format. Because everything is plain text in and standard binaries out, an agent can clone a deck, change a keyword and rerun without any GUI. The OPM Flow manual is published under CC BY-SA 4.0, with the PDF on the GitHub release page. Documentation

What Open source offers

The Open Porous Media initiative publishes OPM Flow, ResInsight and opm-common under free licences, and its website and manual page mention no AI assistant or MCP server as of 4 November 2026. The opm-mcp server listed here is an independent community project that builds on the official Python bindings and Equinor's resdata reader.

What you can do with OPM Flow and AI

• Validate and summarise a DATA deck, including its INCLUDE tree, and list wells, phases and grid dimensions before you commit to a run.
• Launch Flow as a queued background job, optionally with MPI, then poll its status and grep the log for shut-in wells or errors.
• Pull field and well summary vectors, plot them in the chat, and run a material-balance and convergence check on the finished case.
• Clone a deck with keyword overrides for a sensitivity or history-match step and compare the new run against the base case or observed data.
• Export a ResInsight snapshot or an LAS well log for a well without opening the ResInsight GUI yourself.

Installing

The listings here document setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop and Cursor. Install steps, copied from each project's own documentation, are on each listing's page. Most OPM Flow integrations run on your own computer next to OPM Flow, so you need OPM Flow installed and licensed on the same machine unless the listing says otherwise.
