Wolfram Alpha MCP Server
Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| WOLFRAM_ALPHA_APP_ID | Yes | Your Wolfram Alpha App ID from the Wolfram Alpha Developer Portal |
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.
Capabilities
Server capabilities have not been inspected yet.
Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| wolfram_queryB | Query Wolfram Alpha for computational, mathematical, scientific, and factual information. Supports natural language queries about entities in chemistry, physics, geography, history, art, astronomy, mathematics, and more. |
| wolfram_query_with_assumptionsA | Query Wolfram Alpha with specific assumptions when the initial query returns multiple interpretations. Use this when you need to clarify ambiguous queries. |

The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: wolfram_query handles general queries, while wolfram_query_with_assumptions is specifically for disambiguating queries when multiple interpretations arise. There is no overlap or confusion between them.
Both tools follow a consistent snake_case naming pattern with 'wolfram_query' as the base, and the second tool adds a descriptive suffix '_with_assumptions'. This makes the naming predictable and easy to understand.
With only 2 tools, the server feels thin for a domain as broad as Wolfram Alpha's capabilities (covering computational, mathematical, scientific, and factual information). While the tools cover basic querying and disambiguation, more specialized operations might be expected.
The tools provide core query functionality and a mechanism for handling ambiguous queries, which covers essential use cases. However, there are minor gaps, such as lack of tools for structured data retrieval, image generation, or step-by-step solutions, which are common in Wolfram Alpha's offerings.
