Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Run end-to-end ML experiments from natural language (XGBoost, LightGBM, Optuna).

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ml-lab": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-ml-lab"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add ml-lab -- uvx mcp-ml-lab

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ml-lab": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-ml-lab"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "ml-lab": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-ml-lab"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is MCP Ml Lab safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

mcp-ml-lab

Let AI agents run real ML experiments end-to-end.

An MCP server that gives Claude (or any MCP-aware AI agent) the ability to profile a CSV, define an ML task, tune XGBoost and LightGBM with Optuna, and produce a markdown report with feature importance — all from natural language.

Why this exists

The existing ML-related MCP servers wrap MLflow, ZenML, or Weights & Biases and expose them as read-only — agents can browse experiment history but can't actually *run* anything. mcp-ml-lab fills the gap: it lets agents execute the full experimentation loop from a user's natural-language request.

A user typing "train a model on titanic.csv to predict survival" should not need to know what XGBoost is, what cross-validation is, or how to write a hyperparameter search. The agent handles all of that — mcp-ml-lab is the tools layer that makes it possible.

Quick start

pip install mcp-ml-lab

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{

"mcpServers": { "ml-lab": { "command": "mcp-ml-lab" } } }

Restart Claude Desktop. The five tools below are now available.

Example queries

Try these in Claude Desktop with mcp-ml-lab connected:

  • *"Profile this CSV and tell me if there's class imbalance"*
  • *"Compare XGBoost and LightGBM on titanic.csv with 60 seconds of tuning"*
  • *"Show me the top 10 features the winning model used"*
  • *"How did my last three experiments on the wine dataset compare?"*

Tools

ToolWhat it does
inspect_dataProfile a CSV — shape, dtypes, nulls, summary stats, class balance
define_taskRegister an ML task (CSV + target + classification/regression)
run_experimentTrain one or more models, optionally tuning with Optuna
get_resultsMarkdown report with metrics, hyperparameters, feature importance
compare_runsSide-by-side comparison of multiple experiments

Each tool's full signature is in its docstring; they self-document to the LLM.

How it works

Claude Desktop  ───MCP/stdio───  mcp-ml-lab server

│ ├── data.py CSV loading, schema inference, preprocessor ├── trainers/ Pluggable XGBoost + LightGBM adapters ├── search.py Stratified CV + Optuna TPE tuning ├── metrics.py Accuracy, F1, AUC, log loss ├── storage.py SQLite via SQLAlchemy 2.0 └── reporting.py Markdown report generation

All experiments and trials are persisted to ~/.mcp-ml-lab/store.db so an agent can refer back to runs across sessions.

Full design notes in ARCHITECTURE.md.

Roadmap

v0.1.0 ships classification with XGBoost and LightGBM. Planned for v0.2.0+:

  • Regression tasks
  • Time series forecasting (sktime / darts integration)
  • Deep learning baselines (pytorch-tabular)
  • Optuna multi-objective search (accuracy × latency × model size)
  • Persisted model artifacts with Docker reproducibility
  • Permutation feature importance (bias-free alternative to gain importance)
  • Notebook export — emit a Jupyter notebook that reproduces the winning run

Issues and PRs welcome.

Development

git clone https://github.com/rohithraju-ops/mcp-ml-lab.git

cd mcp-ml-lab python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate pip install -e ".[dev]" pytest -v
