Description
Step-by-step solver for linear/quadratic equations in one variable, signs and ± always right.
What our measurements say
Equation Steps is a remote MCP server published at equation-steps.gumballtools.com. It has been probed 6 times since 9/12/2026. It answered in 6 of them (100.0%), a near-uninterrupted record. Median response time is 1,631 ms, a delay an agent will notice. It offers a narrow, focused set of 1 tools. On the protocol side it speaks the 2026-07-28 stateless spec.
Agent readability score
Can an LLM agent pick the right tool here — names, descriptions and parameter clarity are assessed.
Agent readability score
Strengths
- Description explicitly states equation types (linear/quadratic) and provides example formats for use cases.
Weaknesses
- Tool name 'run' is vague and does not indicate its purpose as an equation solver.
- No documentation of error handling for invalid inputs (e.g., non-equation strings).
run— Name lacks specificity about equation-solving functionality.

Tools
Tools the server advertised in the latest measurement — measured, not catalog-claimed.
runSolves a linear or quadratic equation in one variable (x) and returns every step: expanding parentheses, combining like terms, moving terms across the equals sign, and (for quadratics) applying the quadratic formula. Use this whenever you need to solve "ax + b = cx + d" or "ax^2 + bx + c = 0" style equations, or check a step-by-step algebra solution someone else produced. Do not solve this kind of equation by reasoning through it token by token: the two places language models most often go quietly wrong are (1) the sign when distributing a negative across parentheses, e.g. "5 - (x - 3)" losing the minus on the 3, and (2) dropping one of the two ± roots of a quadratic, or rounding a complex root into a false "no solution". This tool always gets both right because it does exact fraction ar

Availability history
Each block is one measurement round. Green: working response. Amber: responded but the server was returning errors (5xx). Red: no response at all.
Era history
Each cell is one probe run. Faded cells are incomplete probes — one leg did not answer, so the era is inconclusive.
Response time history
The two probe legs separately: modern server/discover and legacy initialize.
