Overview
What is MCP Calculate Server?
A mathematical calculation service based on the MCP protocol and the SymPy library, providing symbolic computation capabilities for AI agents. It allows users to perform arithmetic, algebra, calculus, equation solving, matrix operations, series expansion, and special function evaluations by sending mathematical expression strings.
How to use MCP Calculate Server?
Install via Smithery (npx -y @smithery/cli install @611711Dark/mcp_sympy_calculate_server --client claude) or clone the repository, set up a virtual environment with uv, and install dependencies. Configure the server in your MCP client using the calculate_expression tool, passing a mathematical expression string as input.

FAQ from MCP Calculate Server
What dependencies does MCP Calculate Server require?
It requires mcp>=1.5.0 and sympy>=1.13.3.
Is MCP Calculate Server secure against arbitrary code execution?
Yes. As of version 0.1.1, it parses expressions through a restricted SymPy-only evaluator that rejects Python imports, filesystem access, and other non-mathematical constructs. Oversized expressions and large results are also validated to reduce denial-of-service risk.
What mathematical operations are supported?
The server supports basic arithmetic, algebraic manipulation (expand, factor, simplify), calculus (diff, integrate, limit), equation solving (solve), matrix methods (det, inv, eigenvals, eigenvects), series expansion (series), and special functions (sin, cos, log, exp, sqrt). Symbols, constants (pi, E, oo, I), and the Sum object with .doit() are also supported.
How do I install MCP Calculate Server?
You can install it automatically via Smithery using npx -y @smithery/cli install @611711Dark/mcp_sympy_calculate_server --client claude, or manually by cloning the repository, creating a virtual environment with uv, installing dependencies, and configuring the server in your MCP client.
