Wolframalpha

🚀 MCP-wolfram-alpha

An MCP server that connects to the Wolfram Alpha API.

🚀 Quick Start

This is an MCP server designed to connect to the Wolfram Alpha API. It provides a convenient way to query the Wolfram Alpha API through specific components and configurations.

✨ Features

Prompt

This is similar to the !wa shortcut in DuckDuckGo searches.

def wa(question: str) -> f"Use Wolfram Alpha to answer the following question: {question}"

Tool

Query the Wolfram Alpha API.

def query_wolfram_alpha(question: str) -> str

📦 Installation

You must set the WOLFRAM_API_KEY environment variable. Obtain an API key from Wolfram Alpha. This has been tested with the full results API, but it may not be necessary.

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "MCP-wolfram-alpha": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "C:\\Users\\root\\Documents\\MCP-wolfram-alpha",
                "run",
                "MCP-wolfram-alpha"
            ],
            "env": {
                "WOLFRAM_API_KEY": "your-app-id"
            }
        }
    }
}

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

The above prompt and tool functions demonstrate the basic usage of this MCP server. You can use the wa function to generate a query prompt and then use the query_wolfram_alpha function to query the Wolfram Alpha API.

Advanced Usage

In actual development, you can configure the server's running environment and parameters through the config.json file.

Development and Debugging

Since the official MCP checker has poor environment support, I recommend using wong2's mcp-cli-inspector. Create a config.json file with the same configuration style as the Claude desktop.

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "MCP-wolfram-alpha": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "/full/path/to/MCP-wolfram-alpha",
                "run",
                "MCP-wolfram-alpha"
            ],
            "env": {
                "WOLFRAM_API_KEY": "your-app-id"
            }
        }
    }
}

Then run:

npx @wong2/mcp-cli -c .\config.json
