math-mcp-learning-server

Educational MCP server with 17 tools, persistent workspace, and cloud hosting. Built with FastMCP and the official Model Context Protocol Python SDK.

Available on the MCP Registry (io.github.clouatre-labs/math-mcp-learning-server) and PyPI.

Demo

See CONTRIBUTING.md for instructions to record your own demo.

Quick Start

Cloud (No Installation)

Connect your MCP client to the hosted server:

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "math-cloud": {
      "transport": "http",
      "url": "https://math-mcp.fastmcp.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Local Installation

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "math": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["math-mcp-learning-server[scientific,plotting]"]
    }
  }
}

For other installation options (basic, scientific-only, plotting-only), see CONTRIBUTING.md.

calc_expression safety

The calc_expression tool uses restricted eval() with a whitelist of allowed characters and functions, restricted global scope (only math module and abs), and no access to dangerous built-ins or imports. All tool inputs are validated with Pydantic models. File operations are restricted to the designated workspace directory. Complete type hints and validation are enforced for all operations.
