How do I use TinyFn MCP Server?

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., "@TinyFn MCP Server Convert 100 kilometers to miles" 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.

The Problem

LLMs are great at reasoning. They're terrible at math.

Ask any AI assistant to compute 17% of 4,847 and you'll get a confident, wrong answer. Ask it to validate an email with regex, generate a SHA-256 hash, or convert timezones — same story. LLMs hallucinate on deterministic tasks.

TinyFn is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives your AI assistant 500+ tools that always return the correct answer. Math, conversions, validations, hashing, date arithmetic — the boring stuff, done right.

🖥️ Works With Your Tools

TinyFn runs as a remote MCP server — no npx, no Docker, no local install. Just add the URL to your config.

Platform	Tool Limit	Recommended Setup	Config Location
Claude Code	500+ (Tool Search)	`/mcp/all/` — use everything	`~/.claude/settings.json`
Claude Desktop	~100 tools	2–3 category servers	`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
Cursor	~40 tools	1–2 focused servers	Cursor MCP settings
Windsurf	~40 tools	1–2 focused servers	Windsurf MCP settings
Continue.dev	Varies	Category servers	`.continue/config.json`
Any MCP Client	Varies	Match to your tool limit	Client-specific

💡 Why category servers? Most AI clients limit the number of tools. TinyFn splits 500+ tools across 12 focused servers so you can pick exactly what you need.

✅ Example Queries That Just Work

Once connected, just ask your AI assistant in plain language:

Math & Numbers

✅ "Is 7919 a prime number?"
✅ "What's 17% of 4,847?"
✅ "Calculate the factorial of 12"

Conversions

✅ "Convert 72°F to Celsius"
✅ "How many miles is 100 kilometers?"
✅ "Convert #3B82F6 to RGB values"

Validation

✅ "Is user@example.com a valid email address?"
✅ "Validate this credit card number: 4111111111111111"
✅ "Is 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000 a valid UUID?"

Encoding & Hashing

✅ "Base64 encode 'Hello, World!'"
✅ "Generate a SHA-256 hash of 'my-secret-string'"
✅ "URL encode 'hello world & goodbye'"

Date & Time

✅ "How many days between January 15 and March 22?"
✅ "What's the current Unix timestamp?"
✅ "Is 2024 a leap year?"

Generators

✅ "Generate a UUID"
✅ "Create a secure 20-character password"
✅ "Roll 3 six-sided dice"

⚡ Quick Start

1. Get your free API key at tinyfn.io (takes 10 seconds)

2. Add TinyFn to your MCP client:

Claude Code

Claude Code supports Tool Search, so you can use the full server with all 500+ tools:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tinyfn": {
      "url": "https://api.tinyfn.io/mcp/all/",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "tf_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add this to ~/.claude/settings.json or use claude mcp add.

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tinyfn-math": {
      "url": "https://api.tinyfn.io/mcp/math/",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "tf_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    },
    "tinyfn-validate": {
      "url": "https://api.tinyfn.io/mcp/validate/",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "tf_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tip: Claude Desktop supports ~100 tools. Add 2–3 category servers based on your workflow.

Cursor & Windsurf

These platforms have a ~40 tool limit. Pick 1–2 focused servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tinyfn-validate": {
      "url": "https://api.tinyfn.io/mcp/validate/",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "tf_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Recommended for Cursor/Windsurf: validate (15 tools), hash (18 tools), encode (20 tools), convert (42 tools).

Continue.dev

{
  "experimental": {
    "mcpServers": [
      {
        "name": "tinyfn-math",
        "url": "https://api.tinyfn.io/mcp/math/",
        "headers": {
          "X-API-Key": "tf_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

3. Start asking questions. Your AI now has deterministic tools for math, conversions, validation, and more.

🔧 Troubleshooting

All MCP server URLs must end with a trailing slash /.

✅ https://api.tinyfn.io/mcp/math/
❌ https://api.tinyfn.io/mcp/math

Verify your API key starts with tf_live_
Check that you're using the X-API-Key header (not Authorization)
Make sure your key is active at tinyfn.io/dashboard

{
  "headers": {
    "X-API-Key": "tf_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
  }
}

Your MCP client has a tool limit. Instead of /mcp/all/, use category-specific servers:

If you need...	Use server	Tools
Validation only	`/mcp/validate/`	15
Hashing only	`/mcp/hash/`	18
Encoding only	`/mcp/encode/`	20
Math only	`/mcp/math/`	52

See the full server list for all options.

You've hit your plan's rate limit. Options:

Free tier: 10 requests/minute, 100/month — upgrade at tinyfn.io
Starter: 100 requests/minute, 10,000/month
