MCP Wolfram Alpha (Server + Client)

Seamlessly integrate Wolfram Alpha into your chat applications.

This project implements an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server designed to interface with the Wolfram Alpha API. It enables chat-based applications to perform computational queries and retrieve structured knowledge, facilitating advanced conversational capabilities.

Included is an MCP-Client example utilizing Gemini via LangChain, demonstrating how to connect large language models to the MCP server for real-time interactions with Wolfram Alpha’s knowledge engine.

Client Usage Example

This project includes an LLM client that communicates with the MCP server.

Run with Gradio UI

• Required: GeminiAPI

• Provides a local web interface to interact with Google AI and Wolfram Alpha.

• To run the client directly from the command line:

python main.py --ui

Docker

To build and run the client inside a Docker container:

docker build -t wolframalphaui -f .devops/ui.Dockerfile .

docker run wolframalphaui

UI

• Intuitive interface built with Gradio to interact with both Google AI (Gemini) and the Wolfram Alpha MCP server.

• Allows users to switch between Wolfram Alpha, Google AI (Gemini), and query history.

Run as CLI Tool

• Required: GeminiAPI

• To run the client directly from the command line:
