Has anyone used this with Cursor?How do you handle auth?Any alternatives?

{ "mcpServers": { "MCP-wolfram-alpha": { "env": { "WOLFRAM_API_KEY": "your-app-id" }, "args": [ "--directory", "C:\\Users\\root\\Documents\\MCP-wolfram-alpha", "run", "MCP-wolfram-alpha" ], "command": "uv" } } }

Configuration

You must set the WOLFRAM_API_KEY environment variable. Get an api ket from Wolfram Alpha.

This was tested with the full results API, but it might not be required.

{ "mcpServers": { "MCP-wolfram-alpha": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "C:\\Users\\root\\Documents\\MCP-wolfram-alpha", "run", "MCP-wolfram-alpha" ], "env": { "WOLFRAM_API_KEY": "your-app-id" } } } }

Development

Debugging

Since the official MCP inspector does not have good environment support, I reccommend using wong2's mcp-cli-inspector.

Create a config.json file in the same style as claude desktop.

{ "mcpServers": { "MCP-wolfram-alpha": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/full/path/to/MCP-wolfram-alpha", "run", "MCP-wolfram-alpha" ], "env": { "WOLFRAM_API_KEY": "your-app-id" } } } }

Then run:

npx @wong2/mcp-cli -c .\config.json
