source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

# Install development dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Quality Assurance Workflow

Running the Complete Test Suite

Run the comprehensive test suite covering all 130 test cases:

# Run all tests with detailed output
python -m pytest tests/ -v

# Run tests with coverage reporting
python -m pytest tests/ --cov=src --cov-report=html

# Run specific test categories
python -m pytest tests/test_calculator.py -v      # Core functionality
python -m pytest tests/test_unit_conversion.py -v # Unit conversions
python -m pytest tests/test_financial.py -v       # Financial calculations

Code Quality and Standards

Keep professional code standards with automated quality tools:

# Auto-format code with Black (100-character line limit)
black src/ tests/ --line-length 100

# Comprehensive linting with Ruff
ruff check src/ tests/ --fix

# Type checking with mypy
mypy src/

# Run complete pre-commit validation
pre-commit run --all-files

Performance and Security Validation

# Security analysis
bandit -r src/

# Performance profiling for mathematical operations
python -m cProfile -s cumtime scripts/benchmark.py

# Memory usage analysis
python -m memory_profiler scripts/memory_test.py

Distribution and Deployment

Building Production Packages

Create optimized distribution packages for PyPI:

# Install build tools
pip install build twine

# Clean previous builds
rm -rf dist/ build/

# Build source and wheel distributions
python -m build

# Verify package integrity
twine check dist/*

# Test installation in clean environment
pip install dist/*.whl

Release Management

# Tag release version
git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "Release version 1.0.0"

# Push tags to trigger CI/CD
git push origin --tags

# Upload to PyPI (maintainers only)
twine upload dist/*

Error Handling

MCP Mathematics gives you clear, helpful error messages to help you figure out what went wrong:

  • Syntax Errors: Clear identification of malformed expressions
  • Division by Zero: Smooth handling of mathematical impossibilities
  • Invalid Functions: Helpful messages when unknown functions are called
  • Type Errors: Detailed information about incompatible operations
  • Empty Expressions: Helpful feedback when input is missing

System Requirements

  • Python 3.10 or higher
  • MCP SDK 1.4.1 or later
