  2. 02Weight unit conversion
  3. 03Temperature conversion
  4. 04Python package and MCP server

Use cases

  1. 01Convert recipe volumes between common units
  2. 02Convert ingredient weights for a recipe
  3. 03Convert oven temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit

MCP support

Exposes volume, weight, and temperature conversion tools to MCP-compatible clients and extensions.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "units": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-units"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Run commanduvx mcp-units

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Packages

Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

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.
