Semantic Calculator MCP

Semantic Calculator MCP

A Python-based MCP tool for semantic operations on vectors, text, and emoji, with specialized support for the Emojikey V3 system.

Features

• Calculate semantic similarities between vectors
• Convert text and emoji to vector embeddings
• Calculate helical components for phase angle representations
• Parse and analyze Emojikey V3 strings
• Calculate semantic field distance between dimensions

Requirements

• Python 3.10+ (required by MCP SDK)
• Apple Silicon Mac (M1/M2/M3) or Intel Mac
• Claude Desktop application

Installation

1. Install Dependencies

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-server-semantic-calc.git
cd mcp-server-semantic-calc

# Install dependencies using uv (recommended)
uv sync

# Or install in development mode
uv pip install -e .

2. Configure Claude Desktop

Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop settings (typically ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Semantic Calculator": {
      "command": "arch",
      "args": [
        "-arm64",
        "/Users/rob/.local/bin/uv",
        "--directory",
        "/Users/rob/repos/mcp-server-semantic-calc",
        "run",
        "-m",
        "semantic_calculator",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Important Notes:

• Replace /Users/rob/ with your actual home directory path
• The -arm64 flag ensures native Apple Silicon execution
• Make sure /Users/rob/.local/bin/uv exists (install with curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh)

3. Restart Claude Desktop

Restart Claude Desktop to load the new MCP server.

Usage

Direct Python Usage

from semantic_calculator.core import SemanticCalculator

# Initialize the calculator
calc = SemanticCalculator()

# Calculate similarity between two emoji
similarity = calc.semantic_calculator_cosine_similarity(
    calc.semantic_calculator_emoji_to_vector("🧠"),
    calc.semantic_calculator_emoji_to_vector("🎨")
)
print(f"Similarity: {similarity}")

MCP Usage (in Claude)

Once configured in Claude Desktop, you can use it with:

// Convert emoji to vector
const brainVector = semantic_calc_emoji_to_vector({
  emoji: "🧠"
});

const artVector = semantic_calc_emoji_to_vector({
  emoji: "🎨"
});

// Calculate similarity
const similarity = semantic_calc_cosine_similarity({
  vector1: brainVector,
  vector2: artVector
});

console.log(`Similarity: ${similarity}`);

Note: All tool functions have been prefixed with semantic_calc_ to avoid naming conflicts with other tools.

Example Scripts

# After installation, run examples
python -m semantic_calculator.examples.vector_operations

Dependencies

Core Dependencies (Required)

These dependencies are automatically installed via pyproject.toml:

• Python 3.10+ - Required by MCP SDK
• mcp>=0.9.0 - Model Context Protocol SDK
• sentence-transformers>=2.2.0 - For semantic vector embeddings
• numpy>=1.20.0 - For vector operations
• scikit-learn>=1.0.0 - For distance calculations
• torch>=1.10.0 - Required by SentenceBERT

Visualization Dependencies (Optional)
