<div align="center"><strong>A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for numerical computations with NumPy</strong>
</div>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.txt
Usage
Development Testing
Test the server locally with the MCP Inspector:
mcp dev server.py
Claude Desktop Integration
-
Install the server in Claude Desktop:
mcp install server.py --name "NumPy Calculator"
-
The server will now be available in Claude Desktop under "NumPy Calculator"
-
You can use it by asking Claude to perform mathematical operations, for example:
- "Calculate the eigenvalues of matrix [[1, 2], [3, 4]]"
- "Find the mean and standard deviation of [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]"
- "Multiply matrices [[1, 0], [0, 1]] and [[2, 3], [4, 5]]"
Direct Execution
For advanced usage or custom deployments:
python server.py
# or
mcp run server.py
Available Functions
The server provides the following mathematical functions through the MCP interface:
