Wolfram Cloud MCP
Use Wolfram technology in any MCP-compatible application
Wolfram Cloud MCP lets you immediately plug in the power of Wolfram technology, no software installation required.
For small-scale and casual use
Enterprise
Wolfram Enterprise MCP
All-in-one solution for enterprise deployment of Wolfram Foundation Tool technology
For enterprise or custom solutions
How It Works
User or agent sends query to LLM
LLM determines a need for computation and/or trusted data

One-shot stateless
LLM calls the Wolfram Foundation Tool/Wolfram tools via MCP, based on user setup
Wolfram returns trusted results to the LLM
LLM presents results to user or agent

The Power of Wolfram Technology
Accurate computed results, not hallucinations
With the Wolfram Foundation Tool, you're using the power of Wolfram symbolic computation to compute accurate results, free from LLM-related issues such as hallucinations.
Open-ended custom computation, not document retrieval
The Foundation Tool efficiently computes exactly what you need—whether or not it has ever been computed before—rather than trying to find a precomputed result in an existing document.
Curated Wolfram data, not web crawls
The Foundation Tool accesses the Wolfram Knowledgebase—authoritative data curated over the past two decades—not material scraped from websites.
Transparent tool input, not black-box code
Results are backed by highly readable Wolfram Language and Wolfram|Alpha input that can readily be validated by users.
Trusted Wolfram results, not AI slop
The Foundation Tool gives you access to the same Wolfram technology that's been trusted by the world's R&D leaders for more than three decades. Learn about what's new in the latest version

Wolfram MCP Q&A
Product Introduction
What is the difference between Wolfram Cloud MCP and Wolfram Local MCP?
Wolfram Cloud MCP is a free service provided for users who don't yet have their own Wolfram product installed. It provides access to basic Wolfram Cloud and Wolfram|Alpha for the evaluation of Wolfram Language and expert-level answers using Wolfram's algorithms and knowledgebase.
Wolfram Local MCP allows you to get the most out of the Wolfram product you already have installed. It allows for complex, multistep interactions using Wolfram Language driven by your preferred AI harness.

How It Works
Does MCP change how I use my LLM?
You continue chatting with your LLM as usual. When your LLM identifies a question requiring computation or curated data, it may call Wolfram tools automatically.
Does MCP send my chat history to Wolfram?
Only the specific queries your LLM sends to Wolfram tools. Routine conversations stay inside your LLM client.
Does Wolfram MCP work offline?
This depends on how you access the MCP server. Wolfram Cloud MCP requires an internet connection. Wolfram Local MCP does not.
Do I need any additional subscriptions to use Wolfram MCP?
At this time, you do not need anything additional to use Wolfram Cloud MCP. For Wolfram Local MCP, you need at least a licensed Wolfram Engine, Wolfram|One or Mathematica. No additional subscriptions are required beyond that.
