MCP Calculator Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Offload basic arithmetic (add, subtract, multiply, divide) to an external tool via MCP rather than performing calculations inline.

• 2

  A reproducible example to learn how to implement and test an MCP server using Python, MCP SDK/CLI, and MCP Inspector.

• 3

  A lightweight, local test server to validate MCP integration, tooling, and request/response handling before connecting to production services.

Description

This repository provides an example MCP server that implements basic calculator functions (add, subtract, multiply, divide) for use by MCP clients. It is designed as a learning and testing tool to demonstrate how to build and run an MCP server using Python, the MCP SDK, MCP CLI, and optional Nix tooling. The project includes instructions for local development, running with the MCP Inspector, and integrating the server into an MCP host/client configuration, making it easy to validate MCP integrations and agent behaviors.
