Format Conversion

AsciiMath LaTeX MathML Equation Converter

Convert equations between AsciiMath, LaTeX and MathML: auto-detect the input format, produce canonical LaTeX, presentation MathML with an embedded TeX annotation, a best-effort AsciiMath back-translation, a screen-reader aria-label snippet (role=math), and a KaTeX HTML preview.

MCP integration

Add this tool to your Model Context Protocol server so AI agents can list and call it.

Server configuration

Add this block to your MCP client configuration:

      "env": {},
      "isActive": true,
      "type": "sse"
    }
  }
}

List available tools

After connecting to the SSE endpoint, list the exposed tools:

tools/list

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/list"
}

Call this tool

Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:

tools/call

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "asciimath-latex-mathml-equation-converter",
    "arguments": {
  "input": "sum_(i=1)^n (i^3)",
  "fromFormat": "auto",
  "displayMode": true,
  "includeAnnotation": true,
  "includeAriaLabel": true,
  "showPreview": true
}
  }
}

Chain multiple tools in one session with a comma-separated toolId list, e.g. /mcp/sse?toolId=png-to-webp,jpg-to-webp,gif-to-webp (max 20).
