Documentation

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.

Installation

Clone the Repo

bash
git clone https://github.com/ricocf/mcp-wolframalpha.git

   cd mcp-wolframalpha

Set Up Environment Variables

Create a .env file based on the example:

  • WOLFRAM_API_KEY=your_wolframalpha_appid
  • GeminiAPI=your_google_gemini_api_key *(Optional if using Client method below.)*

Install Requirements

bash
pip install -r requirements.txt

Install the required dependencies with uv:

Ensure `uv` is installed.

bash
uv sync

Configuration

To use with the VSCode MCP Server:

1. Create a configuration file at `.vscode/mcp.json` in your project root.

2. Use the example provided in `configs/vscode_mcp.json` as a template.

3. For more details, refer to the VSCode MCP Server Guide.

To use with Claude Desktop:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "WolframAlphaServer": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/src/core/server.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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:
bash
python main.py --ui

Docker

To build and run the client inside a Docker container:

bash
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.
