io.github.daedalus/mcp-sympy — MCP Server for Developer Tools

mcp-sympy

MCP server that exposes SymPy's symbolic mathematics functionality

Install

pip install mcp-sympy

MCP Server

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

Usage

As MCP Server

Configure in your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-sympy": {
      "command": "mcp-sympy",
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Python API

from mcp_sympy import tools

# Simplify expressions
result = tools.sympy_simplify("sin(x)**2 + cos(x)**2")
print(result)  # "1"

# Solve equations
result = tools.sympy_solve("x**2 - 4", "x")
print(result)  # "[2, -2]"

# Differentiate
result = tools.sympy_diff("x**2", "x")
print(result)  # "2*x"

# Integrate
result = tools.sympy_integrate("x**2", "x")
print(result)  # "x**3/3"

# Create matrices
result = tools.sympy_matrix("1,2; 3,4")
print(result)  # "Matrix([[1, 2], [3, 4]])"

# Number theory
result = tools.sympy_isprime("7")
print(result)  # "True"

Available Tools
