About mcp-oeis
mcp-oeis is an MCP server that gives clients access to the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) API. It supports lookup by sequence ID and searches by terms or name.
Key features
- 01Retrieve a sequence by OEIS ID
- 02Search sequences by integer terms
- 03Search sequences by name or keyword
Use cases
- 01Look up sequence data from an OEIS ID
- 02Identify sequences from a list of terms
- 03Find sequences related to a name or topic
MCP support
Exposes tools for retrieving OEIS sequences by ID and searching by terms or name to MCP clients.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Python API
from mcp_oeis import mcp
# Get a sequence by ID
result = mcp.get_sequence_by_id("A000109")
print(result["terms"]) # [1, 1, 1, 2, 5, 14, ...]
# Search by terms
results = mcp.search_by_terms([1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8])
print(results[0]["name"]) # "Fibonacci numbers"
# Search by name
results = mcp.search_by_name("prime")
print(results[0]["id"]) # "A000040"
MCP Tools
get_sequence_by_id
Get a sequence by its OEIS ID (e.g., "A000109" for simplicial polyhedra, "A000045" for Fibonacci).
search_by_terms
Search OEIS sequences by providing integer terms. For example, searching [1,1,2,3,5,8] will find the Fibonacci sequence.
search_by_name
Search OEIS sequences by name or keyword. For example, searching "Fibonacci" will find Fibonacci-related sequences.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
