WolframAlpha LLMSAFE
An MCP Server for WolframAlpha's LLM API, able to return structured knowledge & solve math
Overview
From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to WolframAlpha's LLM API. https://products.wolframalpha.com/llm-api/documentation
Features
- Query WolframAlpha's LLM API with natural language questions
- Answer complicated mathematical questions
- Query facts about science, physics, history, geography, and more
- Get structured responses optimized for LLM consumption
- Support for simplified answers and detailed responses with sections
Available Tools
ask_llm: Ask WolframAlpha a question and get a structured llm-friendly responseget_simple_answer: Get a simplified answervalidate_key: Validate the WolframAlpha API key
Installation
git clone https://github.com/Garoth/wolframalpha-llm-mcp.git npm install
Configuration
- Get your WolframAlpha API key from developer.wolframalpha.com
- Add it to your Cline MCP settings file inside VSCode's settings (ex. ~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/clinemcpsettings.json):

Setting Up Tests
The tests use real API calls to ensure accurate responses. To run the tests:
- Copy the example environment file:
cp .env.example .env
- Edit
.envand add your WolframAlpha API key:

Questions
What is the WolframAlpha LLM MCP server?
An MCP Server for WolframAlpha's LLM API, able to return structured knowledge & solve math
What tools does WolframAlpha LLM expose?
3 in total: 3 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is WolframAlpha LLM safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does WolframAlpha LLM need?
No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.
How does WolframAlpha LLM run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as wolframalpha-mcp-server at 1.0.0.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (4a8b4fdd85a2), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
