SyMath MCP

SyMath MCP is a high-precision mathematics server for MCP clients such as Claude Desktop. It gives LLMs a reliable calculator layer for exact integer work, configurable decimal precision, symbolic derivatives/simplification, numerical calculus, statistics, number theory, and common LaTeX-style math input.

Features

• High-precision expression evaluation powered by mathjs BigNumber mode.

• Common LaTeX normalization, including \frac{}, \sqrt{}, trig/log functions, \pi, \cdot, and braced powers.

• Dedicated tools for arithmetic, statistics, number theory, and calculus.

• Symbolic derivative and simplification support.

• Exact integer algorithms using BigInt for gcd, lcm, prime checks, factorization, modular exponentiation, and modular inverse.

• Structured errors for edge cases such as division by zero, invalid domains, malformed LaTeX, and non-integer number theory input.

Install

npm install

Run

npm start

The server uses MCP over stdio, so it is meant to be launched by an MCP client.

Claude Desktop Configuration

Add this to your Claude Desktop MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "symath": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/fengling/AiProjects/symath/src/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving the configuration.

Tools

• calculate: Evaluate a math expression or common LaTeX expression at configurable precision.

• arithmetic: Run basic arithmetic operations with explicit operands.

• statistics: Compute descriptive statistics over numeric data.

• number_theory: Run exact integer operations such as gcd, lcm, primality, factorization, modular exponentiation, modular inverse, and Euler totient.

• calculus: Differentiate symbolically, simplify symbolically, or compute a definite integral numerically.

• latex_to_expression: Convert supported LaTeX math syntax to a mathjs expression.

Examples

{
  "expression": "\\frac{1}{3} + \\sqrt{2}",
  "precision": 80
}

{
  "operation": "modPow",
  "values": ["7", "560", "561"]
}

{
