MCP Wolfram Alpha (Server + Client)

Seamlessly integrate Wolfram Alpha into your chat applications.

This project implements an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server designed to interface with the Wolfram Alpha API. It enables chat-based applications to perform computational queries and retrieve structured knowledge, facilitating advanced conversational capabilities.

Included is an MCP-Client example utilizing Gemini via LangChain, demonstrating how to connect large language models to the MCP server for real-time interactions with Wolfram Alpha’s knowledge engine.

Features

• Wolfram|Alpha Integration for math, science, and data queries.

• Modular Architecture Easily extendable to support additional APIs and functionalities.

• Multi-Client Support Seamlessly handle interactions from multiple clients or interfaces.

• MCP-Client example using Gemini (via LangChain).
• UI Support using Gradio for a user-friendly web interface to interact with Google AI and Wolfram Alpha MCP server.

Client Usage Example

This project includes an LLM client that communicates with the MCP server.

Run with Gradio UI

• Required: GeminiAPI
• Provides a local web interface to interact with Google AI and Wolfram Alpha.
• To run the client directly from the command line:

python main.py --ui

Docker

To build and run the client inside a Docker container:

docker build -t wolframalphaui -f .devops/ui.Dockerfile .

docker run wolframalphaui

UI

• Intuitive interface built with Gradio to interact with both Google AI (Gemini) and the Wolfram Alpha MCP server.
• Allows users to switch between Wolfram Alpha, Google AI (Gemini), and query history.

Run as CLI Tool

• Required: GeminiAPI
• To run the client directly from the command line:

python main.py

Docker

To build and run the client inside a Docker container:

docker build -t wolframalpha -f .devops/llm.Dockerfile .

docker run -it wolframalpha
