Stata MCP Overview

stata-mcp connects AI agents to a local Stata installation for regression analysis, econometrics, and empirical research. Its MCP tools execute do-files, inspect common data formats, retrieve Stata command help, and read log files. Use it when analysis must run against local data and a locally licensed Stata executable. Client installation is available through the `uvx stata-mcp install` command or direct MCP configuration.

Primary Use Cases for Stata MCP:
  • Run regression do-files through a local Stata installation
  • Inspect unfamiliar datasets before writing analysis code
  • Look up Stata command syntax while troubleshooting
  • Read and filter Stata execution logs
