+```
+
+## ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Installation & Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.8+
+- Git
+- OpenAI API key
+
+### 1. Clone and Setup Environment
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone <repository-url>
+cd simexr_mod
+
+# Create virtual environment
+python -m venv simexr_venv
+source simexr_venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: simexr_venv\Scripts\activate
+
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### 2. Configuration
+
+Copy the example configuration file and add your OpenAI API key:
+
+```bash
+cp config.yaml.example config.yaml
+```
+
+Then edit `config.yaml` and replace `YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY_HERE` with your actual OpenAI API key from [https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys).
+
+### 3. Database Setup
+
+The framework uses SQLite by default. The database will be automatically created at `mcp.db` on first run.
+
+## ๐Ÿš€ Quick Start
+
+### Option 1: Web UI (Recommended)
+
+Start the complete application with the user-friendly Streamlit interface:
+
+```bash
+source simexr_venv/bin/activate
+python start_streamlit.py
+```
+
+This will automatically:
+- โœ… Start the API server
+- โœ… Launch the Streamlit web interface
+- โœ… Open your browser to http://localhost:8501
+
+### Option 2: API Only
+
+Start just the API server for programmatic access:
+
+```bash
+source simexr_venv/bin/activate
+python start_api.py --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000
+```
+
+The server will be available at:
+- **API**: http://127.0.0.1:8000
+- **Documentation**: http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs
+
+### 2. Using the Web Interface
+
+Once the Streamlit app is running, you can:
+
+1. **๐Ÿ“ฅ Import Models**: Use the "Import Models" page to import scripts from GitHub
+2. **โš™๏ธ Run Simulations**: Use the "Run Simulations" page to execute simulations
+3. **๐Ÿ“Š View Results**: Use the "View Results" page to explore simulation data
+4. **๐Ÿค– AI Analysis**: Use the "AI Analysis" page to ask questions about your results
+5. **๐Ÿ” Search Models**: Use the "Model Search" page to find existing models
+<img width="1497" height="743" alt="Screenshot 2025-09-12 at 3 23 13โ€ฏPM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5ff387ad-33b2-4554-8a29-6be7e58b32d3" />
+
+
+## ๐Ÿ”„ End-to-End Flow
+
+**Complete workflow**: Import GitHub scripts → Transform with AI → Run simulations → Analyze results → Get AI insights. The system automatically handles script transformation, parameter extraction, and result storage, enabling researchers to go from raw code to AI-powered insights in minutes.
+
+### 3. Using the API Directly
+
+If you prefer to use the API directly:
+
+```bash
+# Import and transform a simulation
+curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8000/simulation/transform/github" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "github_url": "https://github.com/vash02/physics-systems-dataset/blob/main/vanderpol.py",
+    "model_name": "vanderpol_transform",

+      "eval_time": 25,
+      "t_iteration": 250,
+      "plot": false
+    }
+  }'
+
+# Analyze results with AI
+curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8000/reasoning/ask" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "model_id": "vanderpol_transform_eac8429aea8f",
+    "question": "What is the behavior of the van der Pol oscillator for mu=1.0 and mu=1.5? How do the trajectories differ?",
+    "max_steps": 5
+  }'
+```

+```
+
+## ๐Ÿ› Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **OpenAI API Key Error**
+   ```bash
+   # Ensure API key is set in utils/config.yaml
+   # Or set environment variable
+   export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key-here"
+   ```
+
+2. **Import Errors**
+   ```bash
+   # Ensure virtual environment is activated
+   source simexr_venv/bin/activate
+   
+   # Install missing dependencies
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+3. **Database Connection Issues**
+   ```bash
+   # Check database file permissions
+   ls -la mcp.db
+   
+   # Recreate database if corrupted
+   rm mcp.db
+   # Restart server to recreate
+   ```
+
+4. **Simulation Execution Errors**
+   ```bash
+   # Check script syntax
+   python -m py_compile your_script.py
+   
+   # Verify simulate function exists
+   grep -n "def simulate" your_script.py
+   ```
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+Enable detailed logging by setting environment variables:
+
+```bash
+export LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
+export SIMEXR_DEBUG=true
+python start_api.py --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000
+```
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Database Optimization
+
+- Use appropriate indexes for large datasets
+- Implement result pagination for large result sets
+
+### Simulation Optimization
+
+- Use vectorized operations in simulation scripts
+- Implement parallel processing for batch simulations
+- Cache frequently used simulation results
+
+### AI Reasoning Optimization
+
+- Implement conversation caching
+- Use streaming responses for long analyses
+- Optimize prompt engineering for faster responses
+
+## ๐Ÿ”ฎ Future Enhancements
+
+### Planned Features
+
+- **Web UI**: Interactive web interface for model management
+- **Real-time Monitoring**: Live simulation progress tracking
+- **Distributed Computing**: Multi-node simulation execution
+- **Advanced Analytics**: Statistical analysis and visualization
+- **Model Versioning**: Version control for simulation models
+- **Plugin System**: Extensible architecture for custom components
+- **Computational Model MCP Server**: MCP server for standardizing end to end scientific simulation workflows
+- **Complete agentic Control**: Agentic control from experiment initiation to results analysis & rerun.
+
+### Integration Possibilities
+
+- **Jupyter Notebooks**: Direct integration with Jupyter
+- **Cloud Platforms**: AWS, GCP, Azure deployment
+- **Scientific Workflows**: Integration with workflow engines
+- **Data Lakes**: Large-scale data storage and processing

+parser_prompt = """You are a precise JSON generator.
+
+Given a naturalโ€‘language query describing a physical system and experimental goal,
+extract the following structured metadata and return only valid ASCII JSON:
+
+{
+  "model_name": str,
+  "equations": str,
+  "initial_conditions": [str, ...],          # must be a JSON ARRAY, not an object
+  "parameters": { str: str, ... },
+  "vary_variable": { str: list | str, ... }, # each value is EITHER a JSON list OR a plain string
+  "objective": str
+}
+
+Output rules
+------------
+• Return **ONLY** the raw JSON object—no Markdown, comments, or code fences.  
+• Use **ONLY** double quotes (") and valid JSON (no trailing commas).  
+• Use plain ASCII: letters, digits, standard punctuation.  
+  – Write Greek letters as names: theta, omega, pi, etc.  
+  – Use * for multiplication, / for division, ' for derivatives.  
+
+**Do NOT**
+   • wrap lists or tuples inside quotes  
+   • put units or superscripts inside numeric strings
+   • insert unescaped lineโ€‘breaks (newline or carriageโ€‘return) inside any string value.
+    Every "value" must be a single physical line or use \\n escapes.
+
+Independentโ€‘variable rule
+-------------------------
+1. If the query specifies a range, grid, list, or sweep for an independent
+   variable (e.g. “simulate for t from 0 to 50” or “x in [0,1]”), put that
+   variable in "vary_variable" with its values.
+2. If no varying quantity is explicitly given but the query is a timeโ€‘domain
+   simulation, default to `"t": []` (empty list means implicit time grid).
+3. Allowed formats for each value:  
+   • JSON **list**             → `[0, 0.1, 0.2]` or `["0.5", "1.0"]`  
+   • JSON **3โ€‘item list**      → `[0, 50, 0.01]` (start, end, step)  
+   • Simple **string range**   → `"0-50"`  
+   • Empty list                → `[]`  (unknown / default)
+
+Other fields
+------------
+• "parameters": constant parameter values or expressions as **strings with no units**.  
+• "initial_conditions": each entry like `"theta(0)=1.5708"` or `"x'(0)=0"`.  
+• Make a sensible guess if a field is missing.

+4. Function `simulate(**params)`:
+   - If initial condition values are missing from params, make intelligent guess for the values.
+   - **Check data types of incoming params**:
+       • If a numeric value arrives as a string or Python scalar, cast to `np.float64`  
+       • If a list arrives, cast to a NumPy array of `np.float64`  
+       • Guarantee arrays are at least 1โ€‘D (e.g. via `np.atleast_1d`), if they are not make necessary operations. 
+   - Internally use NumPy arrays and NumPy scalar types for all numeric work.
+   - Pin ODE tolerances for deterministic integration:
+         sol = odeint(..., atol=1e-9, rtol=1e-9)
+   - (If an analytic solution exists, compute it and return it.)
+   - **Before returning**, convert:
+       • any NumPy arrays → Python lists  
+       • any NumPy scalar types → Python builtโ€‘in (`float`/`int`)
+   - Return a dict of Pythonโ€‘internal scalars and/or small lists.
+   - Make sure the return dict has keys that are just param names and output param names
