ClaudeR RStudio MCP Server Overview

ClaudeR - RStudio MCP Server connects MCP-compatible agents to a live R session in RStudio, letting them run code, inspect objects, view plots, and edit open documents. Its tools cover interactive analysis, task tracking, asynchronous R jobs, session switching, project-code search, manuscript checks, and systematic-review annotation. Reach for it when an agent needs access to the working R environment rather than an isolated code-generation context. It also supports multiple RStudio sessions and can keep long-running work in a separate background process.

Primary Use Cases for ClaudeR RStudio MCP Server:
  • Run interactive R analysis against objects already loaded in RStudio
  • Review and apply edits to the focused RStudio document
  • Submit model fits or simulations as background R jobs
  • Audit manuscripts and verify DOI-based references
