Overview

What is Basic Math MCP Server?

This server provides basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for use inside Claude Desktop or any MCP‑compatible environment. It is built with the FastMCP framework and is intended for developers who want to give LLMs precise, structured calculation capabilities.

How to use Basic Math MCP Server?

Install the uv runtime, then run uv pip install mcp-server and uv run mcp-server. Configure Claude Desktop by adding the server entry to claude_desktop_config.json with command "uv" and args ["run", "mcp-server"]. The tools are then callable from any MCP client.
