Model Context Protocol(MCP) server of Maxima.
Overview
What is mcp-maxima?
mcp-maxima is an MCP server that integrates the Maxima computer algebra system with Model Context Protocol clients. It allows developers and AI assistants to perform symbolic and numeric mathematical computations through standardized MCP requests.
How to use mcp-maxima?
Ensure Maxima and Deno 2.0 or later are installed. Run deno run --allow-run jsr:@toms/mcp-maxima from the terminal. For MCP clients (e.g., VS Code), configure a stdio server in mcp.json with command: "deno" and args: ["run", "--allow-run", "jsr:@toms/mcp-maxima"].
Key features of mcp-maxima
- Provides Maxima computations via MCP protocol
- Uses stdio transport for easy client integration
