FAQ from MCP Wolfram Alpha (Server + Client)

What dependencies are required?

Python 3 and API keys: WOLFRAM_API_KEY is required; GeminiAPI is optional for the client example.

How do I configure the server for Claude Desktop?

Add a JSON entry to your Claude Desktop configuration with "command": "python3" and "args" pointing to the full path of src/core/server.py.

Can I run this without a Gemini API key?

Yes. The MCP server itself only needs the Wolfram Alpha key. The Gemini key is only required for the optional client example.

Does the server support multiple clients?

Yes, the README lists multi-client support as a feature, enabling simultaneous interactions from different clients or interfaces.

How do I start the web UI?

Run python main.py --ui to launch the local Gradio interface. Docker images are also available for the UI and CLI client.
