A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides mathematical calculations and operations using NumPy. This server exposes various mathematical tools through a standardized MCP interface, making it easy to perform numerical computations directly through Claude or other MCP-compatible LLMs.
Features
- Basic arithmetic operations (addition)
- Linear algebra computations (matrix multiplication, eigendecomposition)
- Statistical analysis (mean, median, standard deviation, min, max)
- Polynomial fitting
Installation
Quick Setup with Claude Desktop
The fastest way to get started is to install this server directly in Claude Desktop:
# Install the server in Claude Desktop
mcp install server.py --name "NumPy Calculator"Manual Installation
This project uses UV for dependency management. To install:
# Install UV if you haven't already
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/math-mcp.git
cd math-mcp
# Create virtual environment and install dependencies
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate # On Unix/macOS
# or
# .venv\Scripts\activate # On Windows
uv pip install -r requirements.txtUsage
Development Testing
Test the server locally with the MCP Inspector:
mcp dev server.pyClaude Desktop Integration
1. Install the server in Claude Desktop:
mcp install server.py --name "NumPy Calculator"2. The server will now be available in Claude Desktop under "NumPy Calculator"
3. You can use it by asking Claude to perform mathematical operations, for example:
Direct Execution
For advanced usage or custom deployments:
python server.py
# or
mcp run server.pyAvailable Functions
The server provides the following mathematical functions through the MCP interface:
Basic Arithmetic
- `add(a: int, b: int) -> int`: Add two integers together
Linear Algebra
- `matrix_multiply(matrix_a: List[List[float]], matrix_b: List[List[float]]) -> List[List[float]]`: Multiply two matrices
- `eigen_decomposition(matrix: List[List[float]]) -> Tuple[List[float], List[List[float]]]`: Compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a square matrix
Statistics
- `statistical_analysis(data: List[float]) -> dict[str, float]`: Calculate basic statistics for a dataset including:
- Mean
- Median
- Standard deviation
- Minimum value
- Maximum value
Data Analysis
- `polynomial_fit(x: List[float], y: List[float], degree: int = 2) -> List[float]`: Fit a polynomial of specified degree to the given data points
