Maple MCP (Model Context Protocol) connects large language models like ChatGPT, Claude, Cohere, and Perplexity to Maple’s world-class math engine. When your AI tool encounters math, it can then turn to Maple to handle the computation, so the math results are ones you can actually trust.
You can always use the AI Assistant inside Maple to get help from an AI that uses Maple for computations. But for situations where you prefer or need to be working outside of Maple itself, setting up MCP means your LLM can still access Maple to compute mathematical results. Access to Maple MCP is one of the benefits of membership in the Maplesoft Elite Maintenance Program (EMP).
To use Maple MCP, you first need to obtain your access code from Maple.
1. Open Maple.
2. Go to the My Maple tab.
3. Click Maple MCP.
This will display your Maple MCP access code. You will use this code to configure the MCP connection in your AI tool.
The steps below describe how to enable the Maple MCP connection in ChatGPT. Other AI tools will use a similar process, but the exact steps may differ.
1. Open Settings → Apps → Advanced Settings.
2. Enable Developer Mode.
3. Under Enabled connectors, click Create App.
4. Fill in the fields as follows:
- Provide a meaningful name and description (for example: “Use the Maple MCP server for mathematics”).
- Enter the following URL in the MCP Server URL field: https://cloud-api.maplenet.cloud/api/v2/mcp?auth=<ACCESS CODE> where <ACCESS CODE> must first be replaced by the MCP Access Code you got from Maple
- Select No Authentication.
5. Check the confirmation box and click Create.
Once configured, ChatGPT can use Maple MCP to perform mathematical computations using the Maple math engine.
Like the Maple AI Assistant and other AI-powered features, Maple MCP draws on the pool of credits you receive every month for as long as you maintain your EMP membership. You can check your current credit balance in the My Maple tab.
