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
