CalcsLive MCP Server
Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| CALCSLIVE_API_KEY | Yes | Your MCP API key from CalcsLive (Create from Account > API Keys, select 'MCP Integration (AI Agents)' as service type) | |
| CALCSLIVE_API_URL | No | The CalcsLive API base URL (use http://localhost:3000 for local development) | https://www.calcs.live |
Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| calcslive_calculateA | Perform unit-aware engineering calculations using CalcsLive articles. Automatically handles unit conversions and dependency calculations. Example: Calculate hydro power with flow rate 150 m³/s and head 25m. Returns calculated outputs with values and units. |
| calcslive_run_scriptB | Run stateless unit-aware calculations from Physical Quantity (PQ) script definitions. Define inputs and outputs as PQ objects with symbols, values, units, and expressions. No article creation needed - fully stateless. Automatically handles unit conversions, dependency graphs, and Greek letters. Example: Calculate circle area from radius using expression 'pi * r^2'. |
| calcslive_validateA | Discover available inputs and outputs for a calculation article. Use this before calculate to understand what parameters are available and their units. Returns article metadata including all input/output PQs with descriptions, units, and available unit options. |

Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no overlap: 'calcslive_calculate' performs calculations using articles, 'calcslive_run_script' runs stateless scripts, and 'calcslive_validate' discovers metadata. The descriptions explicitly differentiate their functions, making misselection unlikely.
All tool names follow a consistent 'calcslive_' prefix with descriptive suffixes ('calculate', 'run_script', 'validate'), using snake_case uniformly. This pattern is predictable and enhances readability across the set.
With 3 tools, the count is slightly low but reasonable for the server's purpose of unit-aware engineering calculations. It covers core operations (calculate, script execution, validation), though additional tools for managing articles or scripts might enhance scope.
The tool set provides solid coverage for performing and validating calculations, including both article-based and stateless script approaches. A minor gap exists in lifecycle management (e.g., creating or listing articles), but agents can work around this with the available tools.
