Stata MCP Server
AI-Powered Stata Integration for Modern Code Editors
Overview
The Stata MCP Server brings powerful AI capabilities to Stata through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI assistants like Claude to execute Stata commands, run .do files, and interpret economic data directly from your code editor.
This extension bridges the gap between modern AI-powered development environments and Stata's robust statistical analysis capabilities, making econometric research more efficient and interactive.
Key Features
Interactive Command Execution
Run Stata commands directly from your editor using natural language. Ask Claude to perform regressions, generate summaries, or create visualizations without leaving your workspace.
.do File Management
Execute entire .do files with AI assistance. Claude can help debug, optimize, and explain your Stata scripts, making code review and learning more intuitive.
Real-time Output View
See Stata output immediately in your editor. Review regression tables, summary statistics, and diagnostic information without switching windows.
Cross-Platform Support
Works seamlessly on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Supports Stata MP, SE, and BE editions with automatic installation detection.
Use Cases
Economic Research
Streamline your econometric analysis by having Claude help you run regressions, test hypotheses, and interpret results in natural language.
Teaching & Learning
Students can ask Claude to explain Stata commands, suggest appropriate statistical tests, and help debug code, making learning more interactive.
Data Analysis Workflows
Integrate Stata analysis into modern development workflows with VS Code and Cursor, combining statistical rigor with AI-powered productivity.
