Install
pip install mcp-sympy
MCP Server
mcp-name: io.github.daedalus/mcp-sympy
Usage
As MCP Server
Configure in your MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-sympy": {

}
Python API
from mcp_sympy import tools
# Simplify expressions
result = tools.sympy_simplify("sin(x)**2 + cos(x)**2")
print(result) # "1"
# Solve equations
result = tools.sympy_solve("x**2 - 4", "x")
print(result) # "[2, -2]"
# Differentiate
result = tools.sympy_diff("x**2", "x")
print(result) # "2*x"
# Integrate
result = tools.sympy_integrate("x**2", "x")
print(result) # "x**3/3"
# Create matrices
result = tools.sympy_matrix("1,2; 3,4")
print(result) # "Matrix([[1, 2], [3, 4]])"
# Number theory
result = tools.sympy_isprime("7")
print(result) # "True"

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.
