How do I use finance-calc-mcp?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@finance-calc-mcp what's the monthly payment for a $200k mortgage at 6% for 30 years?" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Prerequisites

Install uv if you don't have it:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Restart your terminal after installing, then confirm uvx works:

uvx --version

Claude Desktop

Edit your Claude Desktop config:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

macOS:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "finance-calculator": {
      "command": "/bin/bash",
      "args": ["-lc", "uvx finance-calc-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop on macOS is a GUI app that doesn't inherit your shell PATH. The /bin/bash -lc wrapper runs a login shell so uvx is found regardless of where uv was installed.

Windows:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "finance-calculator": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["finance-calc-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The finance tools will appear automatically.

Claude Code (terminal)

claude mcp add finance-calculator -- uvx finance-calc-mcp

Other MCP Clients

Any MCP-compatible client can launch the server:
