Installation
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ (recommended: Python 3.11+)
- uv (recommended) or pip
- Claude Desktop app (to use the MCP server with Claude)
Installation Steps
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/huhabla/calculator-mcp-server.git cd calculator-mcp-server
-
(Option 1) Setup with the provided script:
chmod +x setup_venv.sh ./setup_venv.sh
(Option 2) Or manually set up the virtual environment:
python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt
-
Run doc-tests to verify everything works:
bash run_doctests.sh
Integration with Claude Desktop
To use this MCP server with Claude Desktop:
-
Make sure you have uv installed (Installation Guide)
-
Install the MCP server in Claude Desktop:
fastmcp install calculator_server.py
Or with a custom name:
fastmcp install calculator_server.py --name "Math Calculator"
-
Once installed, Claude will automatically have access to all the mathematical tools and functions.
Usage Examples
After integrating with Claude Desktop, you can ask Claude to perform various mathematical operations. Here are some examples:
Basic Calculations
Can you calculate 3.5^2 * sin(pi/4)?
Solving Equations
Solve the following equation: x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0
Calculating Derivatives
What's the derivative of sin(x^2) with respect to x?
Computing Integrals
Calculate the integral of x^2 * e^x
Statistical Analysis
Find the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation of this dataset: [23, 45, 12, 67, 34, 23, 18, 95, 41, 23]
Linear Regression
Perform a linear regression on these points: (1,2), (2,3.5), (3,5.1), (4,6.5), (5,8.2)
Matrix Operations
Multiply these two matrices:
[1, 2, 3]
[4, 5, 6]
and
[7, 8]
[9, 10]
[11, 12]
Development
Testing
Run the comprehensive doctest suite:
bash run_doctests.sh
Interactive Development Mode
For development and debugging, you can use the FastMCP development mode:
fastmcp dev calculator_server.py
This will start a local web interface where you can test all tools interactively.
