MCP server for checking Mathematica code via local MMA installation

Catalog onlyCatalog onlySTDIO

Overview

MCP-MMA-Docs is a server designed for checking Mathematica code through a local MMA installation, utilizing FastMCP for efficient operation.

To use MCP-MMA-Docs, ensure you have Mathematica installed and run the command fastmcp dev path/to/mcp-mma-doc.py to initialize the server. You can also install it to claude using the provided JSON configuration.

  • Supports factory functions and functions via addons and packages. - Commands like get_docs and list_package_symbols for easy access to documentation and symbols. - Customizable path for wolframscript if needed.
  1. Checking and validating Mathematica code snippets.
  2. Accessing documentation for various Mathematica functions and packages.
  3. Integrating with other tools like claude for enhanced functionality.

Use these steps to connect Mathematica Documentation MCP server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-mma-docs-benhaotang": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-mma-docs-benhaotang"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-mma-docs-benhaotang": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-mma-docs-benhaotang"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-mma-docs-benhaotang": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-mma-docs-benhaotang"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-mma-docs-benhaotang": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-mma-docs-benhaotang"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-mma-docs-benhaotang": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-mma-docs-benhaotang"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-mma-docs-benhaotang": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-mma-docs-benhaotang"
      ]
    }
  }
}
