Equation Steps MCP server

• runwrite actionFree

  Solves a linear or quadratic equation in one variable (x) and returns every step: expanding parentheses, combining like terms, moving terms across the equals sign, and (for quadratics) applying the quadratic formula. Use this whenever you need to solve "ax + b = cx + d" or "ax^2 + bx + c = 0" style equations, or check a step-by-step algebra solution someone else produced. Do not solve this kind of equation by reasoning through it token by token: the two places language models most often go quietly wrong are (1) the sign when distributing a negative across parentheses, e.g. "5 - (x - 3)" losing the minus on the 3, and (2) dropping one of the two ± roots of a quadratic, or rounding a complex root into a false "no solution". This tool always gets both right because it does exact fraction arithmetic, not floating-point guessing, and reports every root it finds — including complex ones, explicitly labeled as complex. Input: a single string containing exactly one "=", using x (or X) as the only variable, e.g. "3(x-2) = 5x + 4" or "(x+1)(x-3) = 2x^2 - 5". Numbers may be integers or decimals. Implicit multiplication is fine ("3x", "2(x+1)"). Exponents may only be "^2" on the bare variable — "(x+1)^2" is not supported; write "(x+1)(x+1)" instead. Refuses rather than guesses on: no "=" or more than one, a second variable or a function name (sin, sqrt, log), a "/" anywhere (rewrite as a decimal), an unsupported exponent, an equation that expands past degree 2, unbalanced parentheses, or an inequality (<, >). Every refusal includes a fixHint saying exactly what to change. Returns the equation type (linear, quadratic, identity, or contradiction), the standard form, the full list of steps, the solution(s) as exact fractions (with a decimal alongside when not a whole number), and a disclaimer that this covers only one-variable linear and quadratic equations.

Equation Steps: common questions

Is Equation Steps MCP server safe?

With care: it is graded C, so read the findings first (60/100). Read the Equation Steps safety report

How do I install Equation Steps?

It runs remotely at equation-steps.gumballtools.com. Add it to Claude Code, Claude Desktop or Cursor with the snippets above, or call it through the mcp.market gateway without installing anything.

Does Equation Steps need an API key?

Not as far as the registry entry and our scan can tell: no credentials are declared or required.
