Documentation & install
Readme and setup notes from the catalogue, plus a client-ready config you can copy for your MCP host.
Installation
Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.

}You run an MCP Server to provide a structured, protocol-friendly interface to an API. This server hosts a configurable MCP endpoint that you can connect to with an MCP client, enabling standardized request/response interactions and automations for the Wolfram Alpha API integration.
How to use
Start the MCP Server in stdio mode to run locally and connect with your MCP client. Use the server to expose a stable endpoint that your clients can query, delegating heavy lifting to the underlying Wolfram Alpha data source. Your client can send requests to the MCP endpoint, receive typed responses, and rely on the server to handle transport, serialization, and protocol framing.
How to install
Prerequisites include Python 3.9 or newer, and the tools used to install and run the server.
Step by step commands to set up and run the server locally:
# Prerequisites
python3 --version
pip --version
# Install the MCP server in editable dev mode
pip install -e ".[dev]"
# Alternative: use the uv wrapper to install editable dev mode
uv pip install --editable ".[dev]"
# Run the server in stdio mode (the default local runtime)
python mcp_server/main.py stdio
Configuration and security notes
Configure runtime behavior through environment variables to point to your config, control security, and adjust startup behavior.
# Common runtime environment variables available
CONFIG_PATH=mcp_server/mcp_config.json
CONFIG='{"server":"stdio"}'
SECURITY=<your_security_parameters>
Notes and tips
The server is designed to be started from a simple command line, and it supports loading configuration from a JSON path or a JSON string. If you adjust the configuration, ensure it is loaded before clients start communicating. You can mix environment-based configuration with file-based configuration as needed.
Troubleshooting
If the server does not start, verify Python 3.9+ is available, dependencies are installed, and the configuration path exists. Check for common errors such as missing environment variables or syntax errors in the JSON config.
