Arithmetic MCP Server

Arithmetic operations MCP server

This MCP server provides tools to perform the four basic arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

function

This server provides the following arithmetic tools:

  1. add - Adds two numbers

  2. subtract - subtracts two numbers

  3. multiply - multiplies two numbers

  4. divide - Divides two numbers (returns an error if dividing by zero)

  1. Create or edit the configuration file in the following path:

    ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  2. Add the following (or add it inside an existing mcpServers object, if one already exists):

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "arithmetic": {
          "command": "node",
          "args": ["/Users/y_nakasaka/Documents/Cline/MCP/arithmetic-server/src/index.js"],
          "disabled": false,
          "autoApprove": []
        }
      }
    }
  3. Restart Claude Desktop App

TDQS

D1/5.0
Behavior1/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Tool has no description.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness1/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Tool has no description.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Tool has no description.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Tool has no description.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose1/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Tool has no description.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines1/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Tool has no description.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

C2.2/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct mathematical operation: addition, division, multiplication, and subtraction. There is no overlap in purpose, and an agent can easily distinguish between them based on their names alone.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent pattern of simple, lowercase verbs that directly describe the arithmetic operation. There are no deviations in style or convention across the set.

Tool Count5/5

With 4 tools covering the basic arithmetic operations, the count is well-scoped and appropriate for a server focused on simple calculations. Each tool earns its place without redundancy or gaps in this limited domain.

Completeness5/5

For a basic arithmetic server, the tool set is complete, covering all fundamental operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. There are no obvious gaps, and agents can perform essential calculations without dead ends.
