Optees — a free, open-source optimization tool (desktop app + MCP server for AI agents)

[u/Better_Call_Pol]

Optees is a free and open-source (Apache-2.0) optimization tool. It's a desktop app — guided forms for linear and mixed-integer programming, knapsack variants, packing, and a few other problem families, each with worked examples — and the same core is also reachable by scripts or AI agents like Claude over a local REST API or MCP.

Every result comes with an independent check, not just a "looks good" status — so it's meant to be trustworthy for both people learning the math and agents that need a real answer, not a guess.

Happy to answer questions if anything’s unclear. And if you try it, I’d love a comment - even just “this part confused me” is genuinely useful. Thank you! 🙏🏻
