Wolfram MCP Service enables MCP-compatible AI applications to access Wolfram|Alpha, Wolfram Language and the Wolfram Knowledgebase using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Most clients can connect and authenticate directly with Wolfram MCP Service. This article provides setup instructions for an important selection of these.
Some legacy clients may not support a direct connection to a remote server with authentication. For these clients use the Wolfram Local MCP Bridge application to access the features of Wolfram MCP Service.

Authenticating in Remote MCP Server

The following information will be needed to configure your client to communicate with Wolfram MCP service. Use this in conjunction with the specific instructions for your chosen client below to enable access.

Server URL

https://services.wolfram.com/api/mcp

Authentication Method

Authentication is currently supported via HTTP headers only.

The following header is required for every request sent to the remote MCP server:

Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_WOLFRAM_MCP_SERVICE_API_KEY>

Where <YOUR_WOLFRAM_MCP_SERVICE_API_KEY> denotes the API key associated with your MCP Service subscription.

Configuring the Client

Specific instructions for configuring your client are provided for:

• Antigravity
• Claude Desktop
• Cline
• Continue
• Cursor AI
• LibreChat
• OpenCode
• Windsurf
• Zed

If you do not see your client here, check your client’s documentation for directions on connecting to a remote MCP service.
Some legacy clients may not support a remote connection with authentication headers. For those use the Wolfram Local MCP Bridge application to access the features of the Wolfram MCP Service.
