MCP server for WolframScript

Mathematica MCP Server

MCP server that wraps Mathematica's wolframscript command-line interface. It provides tools to evaluate Wolfram Language code and retrieve information about the Wolfram Engine installation.

Tool	Description
evaluate	Evaluates a Wolfram Language script
version_wolframscript	Returns version of wolframscript
version_wolframengine	Returns version of Wolfram Engine
licensetype	Returns license type of Wolfram Engine

Background

• Wolfram Language: symbolic programming language e.g. Integrate[x*Sin[x], x]
• Wolfram Engine: kernel for running Wolfram Language code
• WolframScript: command-line interface to Wolfram Engine
• Mathematica: notebook interface to Wolfram Engine

Both Wolfram Engine and WolframScript are freely available for personal use.

Installation

1. Please ensure WolframScript is installed and activated on your system.

wolframscript -version
wolframscript -activate
wolframscript -code "Integrate[x*Sin[x], x]"

2. Install the uv package manager.

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

3. Edit the Claude Desktop config file and add the mathematica-mcp server. Note that uvx sets up an environment, installs the mathematica-mcp package, and runs the server by calling the mathematica-mcp entry point defined in pyproject.toml. No cloning of the repository is necessary.
