mcp-server-calculator

MCP.Pizza Chef: githejie

One tool ships and it does one job: you hand over a written sum and it returns the answer worked out properly rather than guessed. Powers, roots, logarithms, trigonometry, factorials and the usual constants all work, and a caret is accepted for powers. Whole-number arithmetic comes back exact; decimals carry the same rounding any spreadsheet shows. Nothing leaves your computer, and there is no account, key or charge. The code has not changed since May 2025, though a calculator has little that needs changing.

mcp-server-calculator FAQ

Is it still maintained?

The last change was May 2025, so it has been quiet for over a year. It is about sixty lines of code doing one job, so there is little to go stale.

Do I need a key or an account?

No. It runs entirely on your own machine, reaches nothing on the internet, and costs nothing.

Which apps does it work in?

Any assistant that lets you paste a small tool-server entry into its settings. The project does not name particular apps, and it does not need to.

Can I use this to double-check my spreadsheet totals?

Yes. Paste the numbers or the formula into the chat and ask for the result; the sum is computed rather than estimated by the model.

Is it genuinely precise?

For whole numbers, yes, however large. Decimals use ordinary computer rounding, so 0.1 plus 0.2 comes back as 0.30000000000000004, exactly as a spreadsheet would compute it.

Can it run anything other than maths?

No, and that is deliberate. Only arithmetic and a fixed list of standard maths functions are permitted; anything else is refused outright. It cannot read your files or reach the network.

Does it handle currency conversion, units or dates?

No. It evaluates a plain numeric expression and nothing more, so exchange rates and unit conversions have to come from elsewhere.
