MCP server for the OEIS (Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences) API

mcp-name: io.github.daedalus/mcp-oeis

PyPI Python Ruff

Install

pip install mcp-oeis

Usage

As an MCP Server

Configure in your MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-oeis": {
      "command": "mcp-oeis"
    }
  }
}

Python API

from mcp_oeis import mcp

# Get a sequence by ID
result = mcp.get_sequence_by_id("A000109")
print(result["terms"])  # [1, 1, 1, 2, 5, 14, ...]

# Search by terms
results = mcp.search_by_terms([1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8])
print(results[0]["name"])  # "Fibonacci numbers"

# Search by name
results = mcp.search_by_name("prime")
print(results[0]["id"])  # "A000040"

MCP Tools

get_sequence_by_id

Get a sequence by its OEIS ID (e.g., "A000109" for simplicial polyhedra, "A000045" for Fibonacci).

search_by_terms

Search OEIS sequences by providing integer terms. For example, searching [1,1,2,3,5,8] will find the Fibonacci sequence.

search_by_name

Search OEIS sequences by name or keyword. For example, searching "Fibonacci" will find Fibonacci-related sequences.

Installation

Source-derived launch command. Check the maintainer’s required arguments and credentials before running:

bash
uvx mcp-oeis

Set up in your AI client

Merge this template into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Keep existing servers. Add any arguments, credentials, and permissions required by the maintainer; this template has not been install-tested.

json

  "mcpServers": {
    "io-github-daedalus-mcp-oeis": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-oeis"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop completely for changes to take effect. Confirm the server appears connected in the client’s tool list, then try a read-only example from its documentation.
