This one needs environment variables set before it will start: CALC_MAX_EXPRESSION_LENGTH (Maximum allowed expression string length.), CALC_EVALUATION_TIMEOUT_MS (Maximum evaluation time in milliseconds.), CALC_MAX_RESULT_LENGTH (Maximum result string length in characters.), MCP_HTTP_HOST (The hostname for the HTTP server.), MCP_HTTP_PORT (The port to run the HTTP server on.), MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH (The endpoint path for the MCP server.), MCP_AUTH_MODE (Authentication mode to use: 'none', 'jwt', or 'oauth'.), MCP_LOG_LEVEL (Sets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warning').). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Calculator MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Calculator MCP Server do?
It exposes 1 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: calculate. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Calculator MCP Server working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 289 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Calculator MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Calculator MCP Server need an API key?
No. Calculator MCP Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 1 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Calculator MCP Server?
It answers our handshake in 289 ms on average, which is faster than 51% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Calculator MCP Server?
The npm package @cyanheads/calculator-mcp-server was installed 301 times in the last week. Week over week that is +238%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Calculator MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 9 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
