ucon-mcp
Integrates with Codecov for test coverage reporting and monitoring as part of the project's CI/CD pipeline, though this appears to be a development/testing integration rather than a core MCP server capability.
Hosts the project repository and provides CI/CD workflows for testing and publishing the MCP server, though this appears to be a development infrastructure integration rather than a core MCP server capability.
Built on the ucon dimensional analysis engine for Python, providing unit-aware computation capabilities through Python's scientific computing ecosystem, though this is an implementation detail rather than a service integration.
ucon-tools
Hostable interfaces for the ucon dimensional analysis engine.

What is ucon-tools?
ucon is a unit-aware computation library for Python. ucon-tools packages it into interfaces that other systems can consume — MCP servers for AI agents, REST APIs for web services, CLIs for humans at a terminal.
Each interface lives under ucon.tools.<interface> and is installable as an optional extra:

MCP Server
The MCP server gives AI agents (Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients) dimensionally-verified unit conversion and computation.
Agent: "Convert 5 mcg/kg/min for an 80 kg patient to mL/h. Drug is 400 mg in 250 mL."
decompose → constraint solver places quantities, auto-bridges mcg→mg and min→h
compute → 5 × 80 kg × (60 min/h) × (1 mg/1000 mcg) × (250 mL/400 mg) = 15 mL/h
validate → result dimension matches expected unit ✓Installation
pip install ucon-tools[mcp]Requires Python 3.10+.
Configuration
Claude Desktop / Claude Code — add to your MCP configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ucon": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["--from", "ucon-tools[mcp]", "ucon-mcp"]
}
}
}Standalone:
ucon-mcp # stdio transport (default)
ucon-mcp --transport sse # SSE transport for remote clientsTools
Core — conversion and computation:
Tool | Description |
| Convert a value between compatible units |
| Multi-step factor-label calculation with dimensional tracking |
| Build a factor chain from natural-language or structured input |
| Check if two units share the same dimension |
Discovery — explore the unit system:
Tool | Description |
| List available units, optionally filtered by dimension |
| List SI decimal and binary prefixes |
| List available physical dimensions |
| List physical constants (CODATA 2022) |
| List registered domain formulas |
Runtime extension — add units and conversions per session:
Tool | Description |
| Register a custom unit for the session |
| Add a conversion edge (linear or affine) |
| Define a custom physical constant |
| Call a registered dimensionally-typed formula |
| Clear all session-defined units, conversions, and constants |
Kind-of-Quantity (KOQ) — semantic disambiguation:
Tool | Description |
| Register a quantity kind for disambiguation |
| Declare expected quantity kind before computing |
| Validate that a result matches the declared kind |
| List registered quantity kinds |
| Create an extended dimensional basis |
| List session-defined extended bases |
Architecture
ucon-tools is an interface layer. It does not reimplement dimensional analysis — it delegates to ucon for all unit resolution, conversion, and dimensional algebra. What it adds is interface-specific logic: session state, protocol handling, error suggestions, and agent-oriented features like the decompose constraint solver and KOQ disambiguation.
