# Integer digit sum

`integer-digit-sum` · version 1.0.0 · Numbers & math · free, no key needed

Sum the base-b digits of the magnitude of an integer string.

**Use when you need to: integer digit sum · sum of digits · digit sum in a base.**

## Supported

- integer digit sum
- sum of digits
- digit sum in a base

## Not supported

- digital root
- digit sum of a fraction
- digit product

## Behavior

- value is a canonical integer string: 0 or an optional ASCII minus followed by a non-zero leading digit, at most 1000 digits excluding sign.
- base is a JSON integer from 2 to 36; when omitted it defaults to 10.
- The sign of value is ignored: the digit sum is computed on the magnitude |value|.
- value 0 has digit sum 0 in every base.
- The result is one pass of summing base-b digits (not repeated to a single digit; see integer-digital-root for that).
- digit_sum is returned as a JSON integer.

## Input

- `value` (string, required): max length 1001
- `base` (integer, optional): min 2; max 36; default 10

## Output

- `digit_sum` (integer, required): min 0

## Limits

- max digits: 1000
- min base: 2
- max base: 36

## Example

Request input:

```json
{
  "value": "12345"
}
```

Response:

```json
{
  "result": {
    "digit_sum": 15
  }
}
```

## How to call it

### MCP

Connect `https://computefirst.net/mcp` ([setup](/docs#connect)), then call `execute` with:

```json
{
  "id": "integer-digit-sum",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "input": {
    "value": "12345"
  }
}
```
