stata_doExecute a Stata do-file and return the execution log. Accepts a do-file path, runs it via the configured Stata executable, and can optionally read log content only when return-code errors are detected. Use when you need to run Stata commands, perform regression or statistical analysis, or execute a do-file.get_data_infoGet descriptive statistics and a data preview for a supported data file (.dta, .csv, .tsv, .psv, .xlsx, .xls, .sav, .zsav). Returns overview, variable details, and optional head rows filtered by requested variables. Use when you need to understand a dataset or have no prior knowledge of the data.helpRetrieve documentation and usage information for a Stata command. Use when you need to understand a command's syntax, options, or troubleshoot errors before running it.read_logRead a Stata log file (.log or .smcl) and return its content. Supports full, core, and dict output formats. Use `lines` to return only the first/last N lines.

Frequently asked questions
Jupyter MCP Server is categorized under Data Science Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. Stata MCP belongs to Data Science Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Jupyter MCP Server for data science tools work and Stata MCP for data science tools.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
Jupyter MCP Server is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. Stata MCP has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add datalayer-jupyter-mcp-server and stata-mcp as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
