stata

Use the stata_regress tool with the dependent variable and regressors, or send arbitrary commands through stata_run. The MCP server executes them in a persistent Stata session via pystata, so previously loaded data stays in memory for follow-up diagnostics like estat hettest.

Use stata_etable, which wraps the official etable command in Stata 17+ and exports directly to .docx, .xlsx, .pdf, .tex, .html, and more without third-party packages. The older estout-based path only produces CSV and requires installing estout first.

The server requires StataNow 19 or Stata 18+ (MP, SE, or BE editions) with the pystata utilities included. It runs on Windows or macOS and connects locally over stdio, loading the Stata runtime in-process through ctypes.

Multi-command chains in stata_run halt at the first failing command by design, matching Stata do-file semantics, so later commands never run on a corrupted state. Wrap commands expected to fail in capture, fix the first reported error, then rerun the chain.

Yes, use stata_install_package with the package name and source ssc, optionally raising the timeout to 120 seconds. Do not embed ssc install inside stata_run, because network blocking there freezes the serial session lock.

Raw output is hard-capped at 120K characters and anything beyond is discarded, so always restrict list with an in range such as list in 1/10. Outputs over 4000 characters paginate automatically and can be browsed with stata_more.
