Calculator FAQs

Question 1

Is this a general-purpose calculator application?

Accepted Answer

No, it is primarily designed as a developer tool and an educational example. Its main purpose is to showcase the implementation of an MCP server and its client interaction for mathematical functions, not to serve as an end-user calculator application.

Question 2

What is the FastMCP Calculator?

Accepted Answer

It's an example Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with the FastMCP framework. It demonstrates how to expose a suite of mathematical functions (like add, factorial, and is_prime) via an API.

Question 3

What technologies does this calculator example use?

Accepted Answer

The project is written in Python 3.8+ and leverages the FastMCP framework for server implementation. Communication is handled via streamable HTTP transport.

Question 4

How can I test the FastMCP Calculator server?

Accepted Answer

The project includes a `client.py` example. After starting the server, you can run this client to connect, list available tools, and call specific functions like `add`, `factorial`, and `is_prime` to test the API.

Question 5

What mathematical functions does it currently offer?

Accepted Answer

Currently, it exposes common mathematical functions such as `add` (for addition), `factorial` (to calculate factorials), and `is_prime` (to check for prime numbers), serving as practical examples of MCP tool integration.
