Wolfram MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects to the Wolfram Alpha API, providing powerful computational, mathematical, and scientific capabilities to LLMs.

Features

- Natural Language Queries: Ask questions in plain English about math, science, history, and more.
- Multiple Modes:
- llm: Optimized text responses for AI consumption (default).
- full: Detailed structured data including images, plots, and step-by-step solutions.
- short: Concise, single-value answers.
- simple: Generated images of the result.
- Rich Resources: Includes curated examples for Mathematics, Science, and Finance.
- Robust Validation: Ensures queries are properly formatted and parameters are valid.

Installation

$3

You can run the server directly without installation using npx:

``bash
npx wolfram-mcp
`

$3

`bash
npm install -g wolfram-mcp
`

Configuration

The server requires a Wolfram Alpha App ID. You can get one by signing up at the Wolfram Alpha Developer Portal.

Set the WOLFRAM_APP_ID environment variable:

`bash
export WOLFRAM_APP_ID=your_app_id_here
`

$3

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

`json
{
"mcpServers": {
"wolfram": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "wolfram-mcp"],
"env": {
"WOLFRAM_APP_ID": "your_app_id_here"
}
}
}
}
`

Tools
