✅ Two MCP Tools:
- list_models: Returns available forecasting models and capabilities
- forecast: Performs point and probabilistic time series forecasting
✅ Flexible Input Formats:
- 1D arrays: Single univariate time series
- 3D arrays: batch/sequence/feature format
✅ Probabilistic Forecasting:
- Point forecasts (single value predictions)
- Quantile forecasts (confidence intervals)
- Sample forecasts (distribution samples)
- Custom quantile levels for risk assessment
Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Faim Time Series ForecastingCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
- Node.js 20+
- npm 10+
- FAIM API key: Register at https://faim.it.com/ to get your FAIM_API_KEY
Configure your client to use it directly with npx:
{
"mcpServers": {
"faim": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@faim-group/mcp"],
"env": {
"FAIM_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
No installation required - npx will automatically download and run the latest version.
Alternatively, if you prefer to install globally first:
npm install -g @faim-group/mcp
Then in config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"faim": {
"command": "faim-mcp",
"env": {
"FAIM_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
npm install
``bash
- [ ] Set FAIM_API_KEY environment variablenpm run build
- [ ] Run npm test
- [ ] Run to verifydist/
- [ ] Deploy directorynode dist/index.js` as the server process
- [ ] Run
list_models
List all available forecasting models and their capabilities. Returns information about Chronos2, TiRex, and other available models, including supported output types and features.
forecast
Perform time series forecasting using FAIM platform. Supports both point forecasting (single value) and probabilistic forecasting (confidence intervals). Can handle univariate and multivariate time series data. Currently supported models: Chronos2 (default, recommended for multivariate) and TiRex (fast, univariate only).
Returns available forecasting models and their capabilities.
