# mcp-math
Exact arithmetic and verification tools for math competitions.
## Purpose
Provides helpers for solving math problems with:
- Exact arithmetic (fractions, bigints, SymPy)
- Verification checks (integer, mod, range)
- Notebook-exportable code
## Design
The core is **pure Python** that works in Jupyter notebooks. The MCP server is a thin wrapper for local development.

## Usage
### In Claude Code (via MCP)
```
mikey_math_exact expr="1/3 + 1/4"
mikey_math_verify value=42 check="integer"
mikey_math_export # Get notebook-ready code
```
### In Jupyter Notebook
```python
# Copy from export or paste directly
from fractions import Fraction
from sympy import *
def exact_eval(expr):
"""Evaluate expression with exact arithmetic."""
...
```
## Installation
```bash
cd ~/Code/mcp-math
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install sympy mcp
```
Add to `~/.claude.json`:
```json
"mcp-math": {
"command": "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Code/mcp-math/.venv/bin/python3",
"args": ["/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Code/mcp-math/src/server.py"]
}
```
