ReasonForge Expressions

Essential symbolic expression manipulation MCP server - 15 fundamental tools

ReasonForge Expressions is a focused MCP server providing the most essential tools for symbolic expression manipulation and basic calculus. Perfect for students, educators, and anyone needing fundamental mathematical computation.

Features

• 15 Essential Tools: Carefully selected core functionality
• 90% Token Reduction: ~800 tokens vs ~8,000 for full server
• SymPy-Powered: Deterministic symbolic computation
• Fast & Lightweight: Minimal dependencies
• Foundation Package: Used by all other ReasonForge servers

Installation

pip install reasonforge-expressions

Usage

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reasonforge-expressions": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "reasonforge_expressions"]
    }
  }
}

Standalone

Variable Management (4 tools)

• intro: Introduce a variable with assumptions (real, positive, etc.)
• intro_many: Introduce multiple variables simultaneously
• introduce_expression: Store an expression with a key
• introduce_function: Define a function symbol for differential equations

Expression Operations (5 tools)

• simplify_expression: Simplify expressions using various methods
• substitute_expression: Substitute values into expressions
• substitute_values: Substitute and evaluate numerically
• expand_expression: Expand algebraic expressions
• factor_expression: Factor expressions

Basic Calculus (4 tools)

• differentiate: Compute derivatives (any order)
• integrate: Compute indefinite integrals
• compute_limit: Calculate limits
• expand_series: Taylor/Maclaurin series expansion

Utilities (2 tools)

• solve_word_problem: Solve word problems symbolically

Examples

Differentiation

User: "What is the derivative of sin(x)*cos(x)?"
Claude: Uses differentiate tool...
Result: sin(x)*cos(x) - sin(x)^2

Variable Introduction

User: "Create a positive real variable x"
Claude: Uses intro tool with assumptions=['real', 'positive']
Result: Variable 'x' created with assumptions: {real: True, positive: True}

Series Expansion

User: "Taylor series for e^x around x=0, order 5"
Claude: Uses expand_series tool...
Result: 1 + x + x^2/2 + x^3/6 + x^4/24 + x^5/120 + O(x^6)
