  "mcpServers": {
    "garoth-wolframalpha-llm-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/wolframalpha-mcp-server/build/index.js"
      ],

    }
  }
}

You can access WolframAlpha’s LLM API through this MCP server, enabling natural language queries, complex math answers, and structured responses optimized for large language model consumption. It supports both simple and detailed outputs and exposes focused tools to interact with the API.

How to use

To use this MCP server, connect your MCP client to the local server configuration and invoke the available tools to query WolframAlpha’s LLM API. You can ask questions in natural language, request simple answers, or obtain validated results to feed into your own workflows. The server exposes three primary tools: ask_llm to pose a question and receive a structured response, get_simple_answer to fetch a concise answer, and validate_key to verify your API key.

How to install

Prerequisites: Node.js and npm installed on your system.

Clone the project, install dependencies, and prepare the runtime environment.

git clone https://github.com/Garoth/wolframalpha-llm-mcp.git
cd wolframalpha-llm-mcp
npm install

Configuration

Create or update your MCP server configuration to run the WolframAlpha MCP locally. Include the runtime command, the path to the built server, and your API key. The snippet below mirrors the explicit configuration used to run the server locally within an MCP-enabled environment.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wolframalpha": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/wolframalpha-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "WOLFRAM_LLM_APP_ID": "your-api-key-here"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": [
        "ask_llm",
        "get_simple_answer",
        "validate_key"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Additional notes

Install and run steps are designed to be straightforward. Ensure your WolframAlpha API key is securely stored and referenced as WOLFRAM_LLM_APP_ID in the environment before starting the MCP server.

Tools and endpoints

The server provides these tools to interact with WolframAlpha LLM API:

ask_llm: Pose a question and receive a structured, LLM-friendly response.
get_simple_answer: Retrieve a simplified answer suitable for quick conclusions.
validate_key: Check that your Wolfram Alpha API key is valid and usable.

Available tools

ask_llm

Ask WolframAlpha a question and get a structured llm-friendly response.

get_simple_answer

Get a simplified answer from WolframAlpha LLM API.

validate_key

Validate the WolframAlpha API key to ensure it is usable.
