PyPI Python License REUSE OpenSSF Best Practices

Educational MCP server with 17 tools, persistent workspace, and cloud hosting. Built with FastMCP and the official Model Context Protocol Python SDK.

Available on:

Requirements

Requires an MCP client:

  • Claude Desktop - Anthropic's desktop app
  • Claude Code - Command-line MCP client
  • Goose - Open-source AI agent framework
  • OpenCode - Open-source MCP client by SST
  • Kiro - AWS's AI assistant
  • Gemini CLI - Google's command-line tool
  • Any MCP-compatible client

Quick Start

Cloud (No Installation)

Connect your MCP client to the hosted server:

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "math-cloud": {
      "transport": "http",
      "url": "https://math-mcp.fastmcp.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Local Installation

Automatic with uvx (recommended):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "math": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["math-mcp-learning-server"]
    }
  }
}

Manual installation:

# Basic installation
uvx math-mcp-learning-server

# With matrix operations support
uvx --from 'math-mcp-learning-server[scientific]' math-mcp-learning-server

# With visualization support
uvx --from 'math-mcp-learning-server[plotting]' math-mcp-learning-server

# All features
uvx --from 'math-mcp-learning-server[scientific,plotting]' math-mcp-learning-server

Security

  • OpenSSF Best Practices Silver - Fewer than 1% of open source projects reach this level
  • REUSE/SPDX - License compliance for all files
  • Signed Commits - GPG-signed commits required
  • Dependency Scanning - Automated updates via Renovate
  • pip-audit CVE Scanning - Automated dependency vulnerability checks
  • gitleaks Secret Scanning - Detects secrets in code and history
  • zizmor GitHub Actions Security - Workflow security scanning
  • commitlint Enforcement - Conventional commit validation in CI
  • OpenSSF Scorecard - Continuous open source security assessment

The calc_expression tool uses restricted eval() with a whitelist of allowed characters and functions, restricted global scope (only math module and abs), and no access to dangerous built-ins or imports. All tool inputs are validated with Pydantic models. File operations are restricted to the designated workspace directory. Complete type hints and validation are enforced for all operations.
