Tools & capabilities

SAGE — Solver Augmented Grounding Engine tools 7

  • solve_optimizationSolve LP / MIP / portfolio / scheduling from JSON
  • read_data_fileRead an Excel or CSV file and return a preview
  • solve_from_fileRead + solve + write results in one step
  • explain_solutionNarrate the most recent solve result
  • check_feasibilityCheck feasibility; if infeasible, compute IIS
  • generate_templateCreate a blank Excel template for a problem type
  • suggest_relaxationsRank constraint relaxations for the last infeasible result

Stata MCP tools 4

  • 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

SAGE — Solver Augmented Grounding Engine 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 SAGE — Solver Augmented Grounding Engine 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.

SAGE — Solver Augmented Grounding Engine has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Stata MCP is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. 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 sage-solver-augmented-grounding-engine and stata-mcp as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
