About Linear Regression MCP
Linear Regression MCP is an MCP server for training and evaluating linear regression models from CSV datasets. It guides Claude through preprocessing, categorical encoding, model training, and RMSE calculation.
Key features
- 01Upload a CSV dataset
- 02Inspect dataset columns
- 03Detect categorical columns
- 04Label-encode categorical data
- 05Train a model and calculate RMSE
Use cases
- 01Train a regression model from a CSV
- 02Evaluate model error with RMSE
MCP support
Exposes dataset inspection and linear regression training operations as MCP tools for Claude Desktop. The client can upload a CSV and invoke preprocessing, training, and evaluation tools.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMELinear Regression MCP
Welcome to Linear Regression MCP! This project demonstrates an end-to-end machine learning workflow using Claude and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Claude can train a Linear Regression model entirely by itself, simply by uploading a CSV file containing the dataset. The system goes through the entire ML model training lifecycle, handling data preprocessing, training, and evaluation (RMSE calculation).
Setup and Installation
1. Clone the Repository:
First, clone the repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/HeetVekariya/Linear-Regression-MCP
cd Linear-Regression-MCP
2. Install uv:
uv is an extremely fast Python package and project manager, written in Rust. It is essential for managing the server and dependencies in this project.
- Download and install
uvfrom here.
3. Install Dependencies:
Once uv is installed, run the following command to install all necessary dependencies:
uv sync
4. Configure Claude Desktop:
To integrate the server with Claude Desktop, you will need to modify the Claude configuration file. Follow the instructions for your operating system:
- For macOS or Linux:
code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- For Windows:
code $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
- In the configuration file, locate the
mcpServerssection, and replace the placeholder paths with the absolute paths to youruvinstallation and the Linear Regression project directory. It should look like this:
{
"mcpServers":
{
"linear-regression":
{
"command": "ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/.local/bin/uv",
"args":
[
"--directory",
"ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/YOUR-LINEAR-REGRESSION-REPO",
"run",
"server.py"
]
}
}
}
- Once the file is saved, restart Claude Desktop to link with the MCP server.
Available Tools
The following tools are available in this project to help you work with the dataset and train the model:
| Tool | Description | Arguments |
|---|---|---|
upload_file(path) | Uploads a CSV file and stores it for processing. | path: Absolute path to the CSV file. |
get_columns_info() | Retrieves the column names in the uploaded dataset. | No arguments. |
check_category_columns() | Checks for any categorical columns in the dataset. | No arguments. |
label_encode_categorical_columns() | Label encodes categorical columns into numerical values. | No arguments. |
train_linear_regression_model(output_column) | Trains a linear regression model and calculates RMSE. | output_column: The name of the target column. |

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
