Run Python in a session that stays alive, and expose it to LLM clients over the
Model Context Protocol.

Author: Dr Merwan Roudane

## What makes it different

**The session persists.** A DataFrame loaded in one call is still there in the
next, so an analysis is built up in steps rather than resent whole each time.

**Your interpreter, not the server's.** The server may well be installed under
a bare Python with no pandas in it. The interpreter that runs your code is
chosen separately: a conda or Anaconda installation is preferred when one is
present, and `PYTHON_MCP_INTERPRETER` overrides that.

**A crash costs one process.** Code runs in a worker, not in the server. Exhaust
memory, call `sys.exit`, crash a C extension — the worker is replaced and the
server carries on. It also keeps user code away from the server's stdin, which
under MCP is the JSON-RPC stream itself.

## Install

```bash
pip install python-session-mcp
```

## Library use

```python
from python_mcp import PythonRunner

with PythonRunner() as py:
    py.run("import pandas as pd, statsmodels.api as sm")
    py.run("df = pd.read_csv('macro.csv')")
    print(py.run("df.describe()"))

    py.run("m = sm.OLS(df['y'], sm.add_constant(df[['x','z']])).fit()")
    print(py.run("m.summary()"))
    print(py.value("m.params.to_dict()"))    # a real Python dict
```

A final expression is shown the way a REPL would, so `df.head()` on its own
displays the frame without `print()`.

## MCP server use

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "python": {
      "command": "python-session-mcp",
      "env": { "PYTHON_MCP_INTERPRETER": "C:\\Users\\you\\anaconda3\\python.exe" }
    }
  }
}
```
