MCP-wolfram-alpha

A MCP server to connect to wolfram alpha API.

Components

Prompts

This is analogous to the !wa bang in duckduckgo search.

python

def wa(query: str) -> f"Use wolfram alpha to answer the following question: {query}"

Tools

Query Wolfram Alpha api.

python

def query_wolfram_alpha(query: str) -> str

Configuration

You must set the WOLFRAM_API_KEY environment variable. Get an api ket from Wolfram Alpha.

This was tested with the full results API, but it might not be required.

config.json

{

    "mcpServers": {

        "MCP-wolfram-alpha": {

            "command": "uv",

            "args": [

                "--directory",

                "C:\\Users\\root\\Documents\\MCP-wolfram-alpha",

                "run",

                "MCP-wolfram-alpha"

            ],

            "env": {

                "WOLFRAM_API_KEY": "your-app-id"

            }

        }

    }

}

Development

Debugging

Since the official MCP inspector does not have good environment support, I reccommend using wong2's mcp-cli-inspector.

Create a config.json file in the same style as claude desktop.

config.json

{

    "mcpServers": {

        "MCP-wolfram-alpha": {

            "command": "uv",

            "args": [

                "--directory",

                "/full/path/to/MCP-wolfram-alpha",

                "run",

                "MCP-wolfram-alpha"

            ],

            "env": {

                "WOLFRAM_API_KEY": "your-app-id"

            }

        }

    }

}

Then run:

Terminal

npx @wong2/mcp-cli -c .\config.json
