How to run
Genetic Algorithm
There's already a sample problem loaded in genetic-mcp-server/genetic_algorithm/main.py. To run it, run the following commands:
cd genetic-mcp-server/genetic_algorithm
python3 main.pyThere are also sample problems in genetic-mcp-server/genetic_algorithm/samples. To run them, simply replace <problem> below with the name of the actual problem you want to run:
cd genetic-mcp-server/genetic_algorithm
python3 main.py samples/<problem>.jsonIf you want to run your own problems, you have 2 options:
- Simply modify the following section of
genetic-mcp-server/genetic_algorithm/main.py:
tsp_data = {
"options": {
"population_size": 100,
"chromosome_size": 4,
"fitness_function": {
"cities": ["A", "B", "C", "D"],
"distance_matrix": [
[0, 10, 15, 20],
[10, 0, 35, 25],
[15, 35, 0, 30],
[20, 25, 30, 0]
]
}
},
"problem": "traveling_salesman",
"generations": 50
}- Create a .json file in the same style of the ones in
genetic-mcp-server/genetic_algorithm/samplesand replace<path_to_your_file>with the path to your file:
cd genetic-mcp-server/genetic_algorithm
python3 <path_to_your_file>MCP Server
If you want to run the MCP server, run:
cd genetic-mcp-server
uv run main.pyHow to add the MCP server to Cursor
Replace <full-path-to-genetic-mcp-server> in the following JSON with your actual path:
{
"mcpServers": {
"genetic_algorithm_mcp_server": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
<full-path-to-genetic-mcp-server>,
"run",
"main.py"
]
}
}
}cd genetic-mcp-server
uv run main.pyNo common issues documented yet. If you hit a problem, the repository's GitHub Issues page is the best place to look.
