🚀 One-click installation for all clients!
No config, no manual JSON editing. Just one command installs MCP-for-Stata forevery supported agent(Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and more):
If you don't haveuv,see the uv installation guideto install it. Or, use our beta install script (auto-installsuvif missing):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SepineTam/mcp-for-stata/master/scripts/install.sh | bash
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SepineTam/mcp-for-stata/master/scripts/install.ps1 | iex
If you don't know how to use them,download the installation scriptsand double-click it in your device.install.batfor Windows users, andinstall.commandfor macOS users.
As we find Claude Code is the best agent for MCP-for-Stata as its prefect agentic ability, we recommend using it, and there are lots of advanced usage following:
Before using it, please make sure you have ever installClaude Code, if you don't know how to install it, visit onGitHub
Generally, you can install MCP-for-Stata globally for one time, you can run:
claude mcp add stata-mcp --scope user -- uvx stata-mcp
Then, you do not need to watch it again.
If you want to install it locally only for the certain workspace, you cancdto your working directory, and run:
claude mcp add stata-mcp --env STATA_MCP__CWD=$(pwd) --scope local -- uvx --directory $(pwd) stata-mcp
It would nothing happen, you can typeclaudeand type/mcpto find the status.
Also, collaboration is an essential part of research. You can share your MCP config with your co-authors using:
claude mcp add stata-mcp --scope project -- uvx stata-mcp
In your working directory, you can find a file named.mcp.json, your mcp config will be placed here.
Then, you can use MCP-for-Stata in Claude Code. Here are some scenarios for using it:
- Paper Replication: Replicate empirical studies from economics papers
- Quick Hypothesis Testing: Validate economic hypotheses through regression analysis
- Stata Learning Assistant: Learn econometrics with step-by-step Stata explanations
- Code Organization: Review and optimize existing Stata do-files
- Result Interpretation: Understand complex statistical outputs and regression results
If you use Claude Code inside IDEs (either the integrated terminal or the Claude Code Extension), installing our plugin includingMCP-for-StataandStata LSPmaintained by @euglevi.
# Add the MCP-for-Stata marketplace claude plugin marketplace add SepineTam/mcp-for-stata # Install the plugin to local, project or user scope claude plugin install stata-toolbox -s project
The language server gives AI-generated Stata code better syntax awareness and completion, which improves output quality. We package the LSP in compliance with its license and give full attribution to the original author.
We find that many researchers are using Codex as their agent, therefore we also provide instructions for Codex users.
I figure that researchers are not using Codex CLI but Codex Desktop, so we can say it is easier to config MCP-for-Stata than other agents.
You just need to sayInstall MCP-for-Stata for yourself globally from https://www.statamcp.com or visit https://github.com/SepineTam/mcp-for-statathen restart your Codex Desktop after it say ready.
Also, if you want to install it manually, here are two ways:
- Open your Codex Desktop APP
- ClickSettingsin the bottom-left corner
- FindMCP serverson the left side
- ClickAdd server
- Fill with the following:
Name: stata-mcp Command to launch: uvx Arguments: stata-mcp
For CLI mode, just run the following command in your terminal
codex mcp add stata-mcp -- uvx stata-mcp
Claude Science runs MCP servers inside a strict sandbox that blocks access to the home directory (~) by default. If you try to launch MCP-for-Stata the standard way, you may see:
Couldn't load tools: MCP error -32000: Connection closed FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
