Chuk MCP Math Server

You have access to a high-performance Mathematical Computation Protocol (MCP) server that exposes a large library of mathematical functions through flexible transport options. It delivers fast tool calls, robust error handling, and zero-config startup, making it ideal for integrating advanced math capabilities into local workflows or web-based applications.

How to use

You can use the MCP server by connecting your client to either a remote HTTP endpoint or a local STDIO transport. For web-style usage, you connect via HTTP to the public or a self-hosted server that implements the MCP interface and request mathematical operations by name and arguments. For local development or desktop automation, you run a local MCP server instance and communicate through STDIO, which provides instant access to the complete function library.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation: Python 3.11 or newer, and a modern environment capable of running Python packages. You may also use a transport helper to simplify running the server locally.

# Option 1: Run a remote public server (no installation required for the client)
# Use a client that supports MCP and point to the public endpoint:
# https://math.chukai.io/mcp

Additional setup and commands

If you choose to run locally, you typically install the package and start the local server with a convenient command. The following patterns show common ways to run the server via STDIO or HTTP transports.

# Install locally (example using Python package manager)
pip install chuk-mcp-math-server

# Run as a local STDIO server (default)
uv run chuk-mcp-math-server

# Run as an HTTP server on port 8000
uv run chuk-mcp-math-server --transport http --port 8000

Configuration overview

You have multiple ways to configure the MCP server, including command line options, configuration files, and environment variables. You can filter which functions are available, set computation timeouts, and tune performance. Defaults are sensible for zero-configuration startup, but you can customize behavior as needed.

Public server usage

A free public math server is available for quick testing and learning. You can connect Claude Desktop or any MCP client to the public endpoint to access all 642 functions.
