calculator-mcp-rubens 0.2.16

A calculator MCP server

Calculator MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes calculator operations as tools. Each tool delegates computation to the calculator-lib-rubens library.

Features

16 calculator tools available via MCP:

Two-operand operations: add, subtract, multiply, divide, power, nth_root, modulo, floor_divide

Single-operand operations: sqrt, absolute, floor, ceil, log10, ln, exp

Rounding: round_number (with configurable decimal places)

Prerequisites

• Python 3.14+
• Poetry for dependency management

Installation

poetry install

Configuration

The server ships with a default config.yaml bundled inside the package. To override it, set the CALCULATOR_MCP_CONFIG environment variable to the absolute path of your custom configuration file:

export CALCULATOR_MCP_CONFIG=/path/to/your/config.yaml

When CALCULATOR_MCP_CONFIG is not set, the bundled default is used automatically.

The configuration file has two sections:

server:
    transport: "http"     # "stdio" or "http"
    host: "127.0.0.1"     # Host for HTTP transport
    port: 9000            # Port for HTTP transport
    timeout: 10           # Tool execution timeout in seconds

client:
    is_oauth: false                        # Enable OAuth authentication
    url: "http://127.0.0.1:9000/mcp"       # Server URL for HTTP transport
    token_dir: "/home/user/.fastmcp"       # OAuth token storage directory
    callback_port: 10000                   # OAuth callback server port

The logging section controls Python logging via dictConfig. The default configuration logs calculator_mcp messages at INFO level to stderr.

Running the Server

There are three ways to start the server:

Console script (installed by Poetry):

# requires poetry to be installed
poetry install # only needed once
poetry run calculator-mcp

As a Python module:

# requires poetry to be installed
poetry install # only needed once
eval $(poetry env activate)
python -m calculator_mcp
deactivate

With a custom configuration:

# requires poetry to be installed
poetry install # only needed once
export CALCULATOR_MCP_CONFIG=/path/to/your/config.yaml
poetry run calculator-mcp

Running the Client

A sample integration test client is provided in tests/integration/client.py to demonstrate the MCP protocol with the server. It lists all available tools and calls each one with sample arguments.

Important: The server must be running before you start the client. See Running the Server above.

Run the client:

# requires poetry to be installed
poetry install # only needed once
eval $(poetry env activate)
python tests/integration/client.py
deactivate

Add MCP Server to Claude Code

• Add the MCP server to Claude Code using project scope. The file .mcp.json is added to the project root folder:

  # It is assumed that the MCP server is running on http://127.0.0.1:9000
  cd $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel) || exit
  claude mcp add \
      --scope project \
      --transport http \
      calculator-mcp http://127.0.0.1:9000/mcp
