Convert numbers between binary, octal, decimal, hex, and arbitrary bases (2-36) via @mukundakatta/basenum-mcp
intentconvert integers between number bases: binary (base 2), octal (base 8), decimal (base 10), hexadecimal (base 16), and any arbitrary base from 2 to 36 — with BigInt arbitrary-precision supportconstraints
no-authcredential-freestdio transportnpm package
How do I convert numbers between different bases (binary, octal, decimal, hex, base36, or any base 2-36) using an MCP server? Need support for large numbers (BigInt), negative numbers, case-insensitive input, and clear error handling for invalid digits or out-of-range bases.

Key observations
- Response format:
{input, from_base, to_base, decimal, result}— always includes the intermediate decimal representation - BigInt support: Arbitrary-precision integers work (tested 22-digit number
9999999999999999999999→ hex21e19e0c9bab23fffff, cross-verified with Pythonhex()) - Case-insensitive input: Both
FFandffaccepted for hex, both return 255 - Output always lowercase: Hex output is
ffnotFF,ffffffffnotFFFFFFFF - Negative numbers supported:
-42dec →-2ahex (prefix preserved) - Zero handled:
0in any base →0in any base - Identity conversion works: base2
1010→ base21010(with decimal10in intermediate) - Invalid digits rejected:
2in base 2 →"basenum failed: digit \"2\" not valid for base 2"(graceful text error) - Invalid bases rejected: base 1, base 37 →
"basenum failed: base must be in [2, 36]"(graceful text error) - Sub-millisecond after JIT: First call ~2ms, all subsequent calls 0-1ms
