Installation and Configuration

The Scientific Computation MCP Server can be easily installed and configured using the following steps:

1. Install the Smithery CLI

bash npm install -g @smithery/cli

2. Install the Server

Install the server using the Smithery CLI, specifying your desired client (Claude or Cursor) and your Smithery API key:

bash npx -y @smithery/cli@latest install @Aman-Amith-Shastry/scientific_computation_mcp --client --key <YOUR_SMITHERY_API_KEY>

Replace <client> with either claude or cursor, and replace <YOUR_SMITHERY_API_KEY> with your actual Smithery API key.

3. Configure Claude Desktop (Optional)

If you are using Claude Desktop, you can manually configure the server by adding the following to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

{ “mcpServers”: { “numpy_mcp”: { “command”: “npx”, “args”: [ “-y”, “@smithery/cli@latest”, “run”, “@Aman-Amith-Shastry/scientific_computation_mcp”, “–key”, “<YOUR_SMITHERY_API_KEY>” ] } } }
