Mathter MCP Server
Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| MATHTER_API_KEY | Yes | Your Mathter API key. Required — the server refuses to start without it. Create one at mathter.ca/account under API access; it looks like `mk_live_…`. | |
| MATHTER_OUT_DIR | No | Directory where generated worksheet packs are saved. Defaults to your Downloads folder, or the system temp folder if there isn't one. The folder is created if it does not exist. | |
| MATHTER_BASE_URL | No | Base URL of the Mathter API. Point it at a dev instance if needed. | https://mathter.ca |
Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| generate_worksheet_packA | Generate a printable math worksheet pack as a PDF and save it to this computer, then return the file path. The pack is billed to the Mathter account that owns MATHTER_API_KEY, under that account's normal monthly allowance — the same as making it on mathter.ca. Call list_skills first to choose a valid skill for the grade. Logo and branding come from the account itself and cannot be set here. |
| list_skillsA | List every math skill Mathter can generate right now and the grades each one covers. The live list, straight from mathter.ca — use it to pick the |

Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have entirely distinct purposes: list_skills is a read-only discovery call, generate_worksheet_pack is a PDF-producing action. There is no overlap, and the description even instructs calling one before the other, so misselection is essentially impossible.
Both names follow the same snake_case verb_noun convention (list_skills, generate_worksheet_pack). The pattern is predictable and readable despite the second name being longer.
Two tools is thin for a server, but the domain is deliberately narrow: discover valid skills, then generate a worksheet. It borders on under-scoped, though the pairing does cover the stated purpose.
The core loop (list_skills -> generate_worksheet_pack) is covered, but there is no way to preview a worksheet, inspect the account's remaining monthly allowance, or manage branding, all of which the descriptions reference. These are notable gaps an agent cannot work around.
