src/mcp_wolfram_alpha/server.py:89-125 (handler)

Executes the 'query-wolfram-alpha' tool: calls the Wolfram client with the query, processes the response pods and subpods to extract plaintext and images (downloading and base64 encoding images), and returns a list of TextContent or ImageContent.

if name == "query-wolfram-alpha":
    results: list[types.TextContent | types.ImageContent | types.EmbeddedResource] = []
    query = arguments.get("query")
    if not query:
        raise ValueError("Missing 'query' parameter for Wolfram Alpha tool")

    try:
        response = await client.aquery(query)
    except Exception as e:
        raise Exception("Failed to query Wolfram Alpha") from e
    
    try:
        async with httpx.AsyncClient() as http_client:
            for pod in response.pods:
                for subpod in pod.subpods:

                    if subpod.plaintext:  # Handle text content
                        results.append(types.TextContent(
                            type="text",
                            text=subpod.plaintext
                        ))

src/mcp_wolfram_alpha/server.py:64-75 (registration)

Registers the 'query-wolfram-alpha' tool in the list_tools() method, specifying its name, description, and input JSON schema.

    types.Tool(
        name="query-wolfram-alpha",
        description="Use Wolfram Alpha to answer a question. This tool should be used when you need complex math or symbolic intelligence.",
        inputSchema={
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "query": {"type": "string"}  # Correct property: `query` with type `string`
            },
            "required": ["query"]  # Marking `query` as required
        },
    )
]

src/mcp_wolfram_alpha/server.py:67-73 (schema)

JSON schema for tool input: requires a single 'query' property of type string.

inputSchema={
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "query": {"type": "string"}  # Correct property: `query` with type `string`
    },
    "required": ["query"]  # Marking `query` as required
},

src/mcp_wolfram_alpha/server.py:6-6 (helper)
Imports the WolframAlpha client used by the tool handler to perform the actual API query.
```
from .wolfram_client import client
```
