Setup
git clone https://github.com/danielsimonjr/upmath-mcp.git
cd upmath-mcp
npm install
Add to ~/.claude/.mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"upmath": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/upmath-mcp/server.js"]
}
}
}
Restart Claude Code. The rendering tools will be available.
Examples
Render the quadratic formula:
render_equation({ latex: "\\frac{-b \\pm \\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}", format: "svg" })
Render a circuit:
render_tikz({
tikz: "\\begin{circuitikz}\\draw (0,0) to[R, l=$R_1$] (2,0) to[C, l=$C_1$] (4,0);\\end{circuitikz}",
packages: ["circuitikz"],
format: "svg",
saveTo: "circuit.svg"
})
Self-Hosting
You can run your own UpMath renderer:
docker run -t -p 8080:80 ghcr.io/parpalak/i.upmath.me:master
Then set UPMATH_URL=http://localhost:8080 in your environment.
