The GPU and QM compute engine
AutoDock-GPU, GROMACS, GFN2-xTB, CREST, ANI-2x, MACE, OpenFold3, materials science. Native simulation containers your AI calls directly — accessible from any MCP-compatible assistant at compute.novomcp.com.
“Dock these ten ligands into PDB 7BV2 and rank them by binding affinity with strain validation.”
One method stack, two domains
QM, MD, neural-network potentials, FEP, and Hessian corrections don't belong to a single field. The same free-energy perturbation that ranks drug ligands by binding ΔΔG computes solvation and partitioning for materials. run_qm_hessian supplies free-energy corrections and confirms transition states in either domain. The engine is general — drug discovery proves it through a funnel, materials proves it through a flexible toolkit. Same physics, two shapes.
