    How to connect

    How to connect Equation.io to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://equation.io/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Authorization

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    How to connect Equation.io to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://equation.io/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
    5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
    6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

    OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

    Authorization

    On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

    How to connect Equation.io to Cursor

    The server address to paste into Cursor settings:

    https://equation.io/mcp

    Fastest: click Open in Cursor below and confirm the prompt.

    Manually:

    1. In Cursor open Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
    2. Paste the JSON copied below into ~/.cursor/mcp.json (per project: .cursor/mcp.json in the repo root).
    3. Save the file. The server appears in the MCP list; authorize it there if asked.

    Authorization

    If the service needs sign-in, an authorize button appears next to the server in the MCP list.

    encode_graph_urlBuild a link that opens the equation.io grapher with the given equations already rendered, validating every row through the app's own parser. Pass the COMPLETE graph in "equations": a flat array of strings, one equation or definition per string, in display order — when editing an existing graph (see decode_graph_url), include the unchanged rows too. Rows can be: equations and inequalities in x,y (curves, regions; z makes it 3D), bare expressions (scalar fields; complex plots via w), points (rows report "draggable"), parametric tuples in u,v — and definitions: "a = 2" (a draggable slider), "f(x) = x^3 - a x", coordinate fields like "r = sqrt(x^2+y^2)" for polar. t animates. Also derivatives d/dx, integrals int[a..b] f dx, sums sum[n=1..N], domain()/conformal()/iter() for complex plots, y' = … slope fields, random variables "X ~ Normal(m, s)"/"P(0<X<2)"/"E(X^2)", and "view(x = -5..5, y = -2..2)"/"camera(theta, phi)" framing rows. That is a menu, not the syntax: before your first non-trivial graph, read the "syntax" MCP resource (also at https://equation.io/llms.txt). The result returns text and structured data only. "rows" is the validation verdict; if a row fails validation, fix it and call again. Give users the share_url (it unfurls to a preview card in chat apps); url is the equivalent #-fragment form. "preview" and "preview_omits" describe the share link's simplified static preview (t = 0, 3D as wireframes), which draws less than the interactive app. No image is attached to the tool response.
    decode_graph_urlDecode an equation.io link (either the #-fragment form or the /g/ share form) into its list of equation rows, so you can edit them and build a new link with encode_graph_url.
    show_graphDisplay an interactive equation.io graph inside the conversation, with editable equations, sliders, pan/zoom, and 3D rotation. Use when the user asks to see or explore a graph. Pass the COMPLETE graph as "equations", one equation or definition per string, preserving unchanged rows when editing. For a slider use "a = 2" then "y = a sin(x)". For advanced syntax read the "syntax" resource (https://equation.io/llms.txt). Returns the same validation and share links as encode_graph_url; fix invalid rows before presenting the graph as correct. Use encode_graph_url for validation or link-only requests. In clients without UI support, provide share_url.
