When to use
Least common multiple of two univariate polynomials.
Input schema
Validated server-side with Zod. The same schema feeds OpenAPI and the MCP tool list.
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"a": {
"type": "string",
"minLength": 1,
"description": "First polynomial"
},
"b": {
"type": "string",
"minLength": 1,

}
},
"required": [
"a",

],
"additionalProperties": false
}Response shape
All tools return { ok: true, result } on success and { ok: false, error } on failure. The result object contains:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | string | Resulting expression in nerdamer syntax. |
Example
Request
{
"a": "x^2 - 1",
"b": "x^2 - 2*x + 1"
}Response
{
"ok": true,
"result": {
"result": "(-1+x^2)*(-2*x+x^2+1)*(-x+1)^(-1)"
}

MCP clients call this tool as tools/call against /api/mcp:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "polynomial_lcm",
"arguments": {

}
}
}Common errors
- A required field is missing or has the wrong type.Zod validation error, e.g. `Required` or `Expected string, received number`.
- Nerdamer cannot parse the expression (unbalanced parens, unknown function, stray characters).`Unexpected token …` or `… is not a valid expression`.
