About WolframAlpha LLM MCP Server
WolframAlpha LLM MCP Server is an MCP server that provides access to the WolframAlpha LLM API. It targets AI applications that need structured knowledge or mathematical answers formatted for LLM use.
Key features
- 01Natural language questions with structured answers
- 02Simplified answers or detailed sectioned responses
- 03ask_llm and get_simple_answer tools
- 04validate_key tool for API key checks
Use cases
- 01Solving complicated math questions from an AI assistant
- 02Looking up facts in science, history and geography
MCP support
This project is an MCP server that exposes ask_llm, get_simple_answer and validate_key tools to MCP clients.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

- Get structured responses optimized for LLM consumption
- Support for simplified answers and detailed responses with sections
Available Tools
ask_llm: Ask WolframAlpha a question and get a structured llm-friendly responseget_simple_answer: Get a simplified answervalidate_key: Validate the WolframAlpha API key
Installation
git clone https://github.com/Garoth/wolframalpha-llm-mcp.git
npm install
Configuration
-
Get your WolframAlpha API key from developer.wolframalpha.com
-
Add it to your Cline MCP settings file inside VSCode's settings (ex. ~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"wolframalpha": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/wolframalpha-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
"env": {
"WOLFRAM_LLM_APP_ID": "your-api-key-here"
},
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": [
"ask_llm",
"get_simple_answer",
"validate_key"
]
}
}
}
Development
Setting Up Tests
The tests use real API calls to ensure accurate responses. To run the tests:
-
Copy the example environment file:
cp .env.example .env -
Edit
.envand add your WolframAlpha API key:WOLFRAM_LLM_APP_ID=your-api-key-hereNote: The
.envfile is gitignored to prevent committing sensitive information. -

New to MCP?
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.
