Math Utilities

Square Root

Calculates precise square roots for any positive number via MCP or REST endpoint `/v1/math/sqrt`. Returns exact decimal results without floating-point errors that plague native implementations. Essential for financial calculations, geometric computations, and scientific applications where precision matters more than speed.

API Endpoint

GET /v1/math/sqrt

Code Examples

curl "https://tinyfn.io/v1/math/sqrt" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
const response = await fetch('https://tinyfn.io/v1/math/sqrt', {
  headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY' }
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
import requests

response = requests.get('https://tinyfn.io/v1/math/sqrt',
    headers={'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'})
data = response.json()
print(data)

Add to your AI agent

Connect your AI agent (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) to TinyFn's math tools:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tinyfn-math": {
      "url": "https://tinyfn.io/mcp/math",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }

FAQ

How do I calculate square root using MCP in Cursor or Claude?

Use the square_root tool directly in your AI chat. The agent will call TinyFn's deterministic implementation and return the precise result without floating-point rounding errors.

What happens if I try to get the square root of a negative number?

The function returns an error for negative inputs since real square roots don't exist for negative numbers. Use complex number tools for imaginary results.

Why use this instead of Math.sqrt() or native language functions?

TinyFn provides deterministic, high-precision results across all platforms. Native implementations can vary slightly between systems due to floating-point representation differences.

Can I calculate square roots of very large numbers?

Yes, the tool handles arbitrarily large numbers with maintained precision, unlike native functions that may lose accuracy with extremely large inputs.

What's the REST API format for square root calculations?

Send GET request to `/v1/math/sqrt?number=25` and receive JSON response with the calculated square root value.
