Stata MCP

MCP-for-Stata is an open-source MCP server and CLI that lets any AI agent you use invoke local Stata on your device for regression analysis, econometrics, paper replication, and empirical research. It provides command guards, resource monitoring, automatic log capture, and cross-platform client installation, while you retain control of your data and Stata license.

People who work with stata, econometrics and statistical analysis and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Stata MCP

before you install - you'll need

STATA_MCP__CWD

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add sepinetam-stata-mcp -- uvx stata-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sepinetam-stata-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "stata-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license AGPL-3.0 - declared in the repository

pypi package stata-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.SepineTam is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

06 · Stata MCP FAQ

What is Stata MCP?

Is Stata MCP still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-09-14 and it shipped 10+ releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Stata MCP?

Run `uvx stata-mcp`. The README documents one environment variable (STATA_MCP__CWD) to set first. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Stata MCP run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
