Full GUI control of Mathematica notebooks and kernel via Model Context Protocol

Project description

Mathematica MCP

Give your AI Agent the power of Wolfram Language.

License: MIT Python 3.10+ Mathematica 14+


What is this?

This MCP Server empowers AI Agents & IDEs (like Claude Desktop, Cursor, or OpenCode) with a direct interface to your local Wolfram Engine. It enables your agent to perform symbolic reasoning, precise calculation, and interactive visualization natively.

Capabilities:

  • Execute Code: Run Wolfram Language expressions in a secure sandbox.
  • Self-Correct: Diagnose and fix syntax errors automatically.
  • Visualize: Generate high-fidelity plots and export them as images.
  • Analyze Notebooks: Parse and manipulate .nb files contextually.
  • Persist State: Maintain a stateful session (e.g. x = 5) across interactions.

Quick Start

One-Command Setup (Recommended)

# For Claude Desktop
uvx mathematica-mcp-full setup claude-desktop

# For Cursor
uvx mathematica-mcp-full setup cursor

# For VS Code
uvx mathematica-mcp-full setup vscode

# For OpenAI Codex CLI

Verify Installation

uvx mathematica-mcp-full doctor

Manual Installation

Click to expand manual setup instructions
  1. Clone & Install:

    git clone https://github.com/AbhiRawat4841/mathematica-mcp.git
    cd mathematica-mcp
    uv sync
    
  2. Install Mathematica Addon:

    wolframscript -file addon/install.wl
    

    Restart Mathematica after this step.

  3. Configure your editor (replace path with your actual path):

    Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "mathematica": {
          "command": "uv",
          "args": ["--directory", "/path/to/mathematica-mcp", "run", "mathematica-mcp"]
        }
      }
    }
    

    Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json):

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "mathematica": {
          "command": "uv",
          "args": ["--directory", "/path/to/mathematica-mcp", "run", "mathematica-mcp"]
        }
      }
    }
    

    VS Code (~/.vscode/mcp.json):

    {
      "servers": {
        "mathematica": {
          "type": "stdio",
          "command": "uv",
          "args": ["--directory", "/path/to/mathematica-mcp", "run", "mathematica-mcp"]
        }
      }
    }
    

📖 See the Installation Guide for troubleshooting and advanced setup.


Why use it?

For Students & Researchers

  • Symbolic Math: "Integrate Sin[x]^4 Cos[x]^2, simplify it, and show the steps."
  • Visualization: "Render a 3D Sombrero surface and export as SVG."

For Developers

  • Debugging: "Trace the evaluation of MyCustomFunction[x]."
  • Parsing: "Extract only the Wolfram code from this .nb file."

For Data Scientists
