Why publish on Calculator Tools instead of leaving the app inside a chat, an IDE, or another builder.

Calculator Tools hosts public static web apps at calculator.tools. You stay the owner. Files live in one directory: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other static files, with a URL you can send to anyone. Start on Create or connect MCP from Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT.

These articles compare other products so you know when Calculator Tools is the right host. The existing Compare page is a live AI-model benchmark. It is a different product.
