⚡ Quick Install

pip install qwed-mcp

🚀 Setup with Claude Desktop

Step 1: Find your config file

OS	Path
Windows	%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Linux	~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Step 2: Add QWED-MCP

macOS/Linux:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qwed-verification": {
      "command": "qwed-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windows (use python -m):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qwed-verification": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "qwed_mcp.server"]
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Restart Claude Desktop

Quit completely (system tray → Quit) and reopen.

Step 4: Test it!

Ask Claude:

"Write a python script that verifies a 10,000 investment at 7.5% for 5 years using the qwed_new math engine, and run it using execute_python_code."

⚠️ Migration Note: Deprecation of verify_* Tools

To solve "context bloat" and align with the new MCP standard (RFC-9728), all 1:1 functional tools (e.g., verify_math, verify_sql, verify_code) have been removed as of v0.2.1.

They have been replaced with a single, highly capable tool: 👉 execute_python_code

Before:

"Use verify_math to check this formula." (Claude loads 14 different tool schemas into context)

After:

"Use execute_python_code to write and run a script that imports qwed_new.engines.math_engine to verify..." (Claude loads 1 tool schema into context)

If you see an "Unknown tool" error, it means Claude is trying to use a legacy tool. Simply tell Claude: "The verify_* tools are removed. Use execute_python_code to natively write and run a Python verification script."

---

🔧 Available Tools

Tool	Description	Use Case
execute_python_code	Subprocess Execution	The single entrypoint for all QWED capabilities. Executes dynamically generated Python code in a subprocess with restricted environment variables. Note: Runs with server privileges; ensure inputs are trusted.

---

💡 Example Prompts for Claude

Note: Claude already knows how to use QWED natively via standard Python imports.

Financial Calculations

A bank says: "Invest $10,000 at 7.5% compounded quarterly for 5 years = $14,356.29"
Please write a short Python script using the standard compound interest formula to verify this, and run it with execute_python_code.

Loan EMI Verification

Verify: ₹10,00,000 loan at 9% for 5 years = EMI of ₹20,758
Write a python script importing necessary tools to verify this EMI calculation, and execute it using execute_python_code.

Complex Reasoning Workflows (The Power of Python)

Read the user terms in the attached document. 
1. Use execute_python_code to extract and verify the legal clauses using qwed_legal.
2. In the same script, verify if the referenced financial penalties align with the allowed boundaries.

🎯 Why QWED-MCP?

Note: Subprocess execution provides answers/checks purely based on what QWED SDK methods are invoked inside the executed scripts. Execution itself does not guarantee injection detection without specific SDK calls.

Without QWED-MCP	With QWED-MCP
LLM calculates → 95% correct	Executes Python script calling qwed_finance → 100% correct
LLM writes SQL → might inject	Script uses qwed_new analyzer → injection detected
LLM reasons → might be wrong	Z3 solver executed via SDK → formally proven
LLM codes → might be unsafe	AST check script executed → security checked

💡 What QWED-MCP Is (and Isn't)

✅ QWED-MCP IS:

• MCP Server that adds verification tools to Claude Desktop and VS Code
• Deterministic — uses SymPy (math), Z3 (logic), AST (code) for exact verification
• Open source — works with any MCP-compatible AI assistant
• A safety layer — catches LLM hallucinations in real-time

❌ QWED-MCP is NOT:

• A replacement for Claude — it enhances Claude with verification tools
• A chatbot — it's a backend server that Claude calls
• Internet-connected — all verification happens locally
• A fine-tuned model — uses symbolic engines, not ML

Think of QWED-MCP as giving Claude a "calculator" for math and a "theorem prover" for logic.

Claude reasons. QWED-MCP verifies.

🆚 How We're Different from Other MCP Servers

Aspect	Other MCP Servers	QWED-MCP
Purpose	Connect to APIs, databases, files	Verify LLM outputs
Approach	Fetch external data	Compute deterministic proofs
Engines	API wrappers	SymPy, Z3, AST analyzers
Accuracy	Depends on data source	100% mathematically proven
Offline	Often need internet	Fully local, no APIs

With Claude Desktop

│ "Write script to  │     │ Runs SymPy natively   │     │ (STDOUT Captured) │

└───────────────────┘

🔒 Security & Privacy

All verification happens locally. Nothing is sent to external servers.

Concern	QWED-MCP Approach
Data Transmission	❌ No external API calls
Storage	❌ Nothing logged or stored
Dependencies	✅ Local engines (SymPy, Z3)
Code Analysis	✅ Your code never leaves your machine

Perfect for:

• Enterprises with strict security policies
• Air-gapped development environments
• Sensitive code review workflows

❓ FAQ

Is QWED-MCP free?

Yes! Open source under Apache 2.0. Use it commercially, modify it, distribute it.

Does it work with VS Code Copilot?

QWED-MCP works with any MCP-compatible client. VS Code with Claude extension supports MCP, so yes!

Do I need an API key?

No. QWED-MCP runs entirely locally. No API keys, no cloud calls.

What's the difference between this and QWED-Core?

QWED-Core is the Python library. QWED-MCP wraps it as an MCP server so Claude can use it as a tool.

Can I add my own verification tools?

Yes! The server is extensible. Fork it and add your custom @mcp.tool() functions.
