Restart Claude Desktop and ask:
Can you test the Wolfram connection?
Claude should use the wolfram_test_connection tool and report success.

The Wolfram MCP excels at mathematical computation but returns symbolic representations rather than rendered images. For visual graphs and charts, use the hybrid workflow:
Wolfram (Computation) → Data Extraction → Visualization Tool (Rendering)
📖 Complete Visualization Guide - Comprehensive documentation on creating beautiful, interactive charts
- Generate data with Wolfram:
Table[{x, Sin[x], Cos[x]}, {x, 0, 2*Pi, 0.1}]- Visualize with React or Python:
- See
examples/trig_visualization.jsxfor interactive React charts - See
examples/trig_plot.pyfor publication-quality matplotlib plots
📁 View All Examples - Complete working examples with code
What is the integral of x^2?
Solve the equation x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0
Find the derivative of sin(x) * cos(x)
Compute the definite integral of x^2 from 0 to 1
Calculate the inverse of the matrix {{1,2},{3,4}}
Find the eigenvalues of {{4,1},{2,3}}
What is the mean of the dataset {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}?
Calculate the standard deviation of {10, 20, 30, 40, 50}
Simplify (x^2 - 1)/(x - 1)
Factor x^2 - 5x + 6
Expand (x + 1)^3
The server defaults to using WolframScript at:
C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\14.0\wolframscript.exe
To use a different version or location, modify the paths in wolfram_mcp_server.py:
WOLFRAM_SCRIPT_PATH = r"C:\Your\Custom\Path\wolframscript.exe"
MATH_KERNEL_PATH = r"C:\Your\Custom\Path\MathKernel.exe"- Verify Mathematica/Wolfram Engine is installed
- Check the paths in
wolfram_mcp_server.pymatch your installation - Ensure Wolfram Engine is activated (run
wolframscriptin terminal)
- Make sure your Mathematica license is active
- Try running
wolframscript -code "2+2"in your terminal - Check that the executable path is correct
- Complex calculations may need more time
- Use
wolfram_executewith a custom timeout parameter - Consider simplifying the expression
