Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

[](https://doi.org/10.3390/ma19143075) [](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20346287) [](https://pypi.org/project/hea-bench/) [](https://pypi.org/project/hea-bench/) [](https://github.com/dfieser/hea-bench/actions/workflows/ci.yml) [](./LICENSE)

Open, interpretable tools for computing the standard high-entropy-alloy (HEA) and high-entropy-oxide (HEO) thermodynamic and geometric descriptors and the classic empirical phase-prediction rules, from any composition. Every descriptor is a transparent closed-form expression over a curated element-property table, validated against the primary literature. The fitted predictions (hardness, phase prediction sets) carry calibrated uncertainty and flag alloys unlike their training data.

Try it now: . No install, it runs entirely in your browser, and every library feature works there: the calculator for alloys, oxides and ceramics with property and phase predictions, the experimental dataset, alloy search and experiment planning, and the benchmark.

Questions

What is the hea-bench MCP server?

Free high-entropy alloy (HEA) and high-entropy oxide calculator: mixing entropy, atomic-size mismatch, VEC, Miedema enthalpy, and the canonical empirical phase-prediction rules. Python library, browser app, desktop app, and MCP server.

Is hea-bench safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it D (69/100) and found 1 critical or high issue in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.

What credentials does hea-bench need?

No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.

How does hea-bench run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on PyPI as hea-bench.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (18657d358535), read on 2026-10-11. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
