### Description (declared)

# sktime-mcp

**[Read the Documentation](http://sktime.github.io/sktime-mcp/)** | **[PyPI Package](https://pypi.org/project/sktime-mcp/0.1.0/)**

**MCP (Model Context Protocol) layer for sktime - Registry-Driven for LLMs**

A semantic engine that exposes sktime's native registry and semantics to Large Language Models, enabling them to:

- 🔍 **Discover** valid estimators
- 🧠 **Reason** about estimator capabilities  
- 🔗 **Compose** compatible estimators
- ⚡ **Execute** real sktime workflows on real data

## 🎯 Design Philosophy

This MCP is **not** just documentation or static code analysis. It is a **semantic engine** for programmatic model usage.

### Key Principles

1. **sktime as Source of Truth** - No AST parsing, no repo indexing, no heuristics. All structure comes from `all_estimators`, estimator tags, and sktime's API contracts.

2. **Registry-First** - Instead of `File → Class → Infer Relationships`, we do `Registry → Semantics → Safe Execution`.

3. **Minimal MCP Surface** - Exposes only what an LLM needs: Discovery, Description, Instantiation, Execution, and model persistence.

## 🛠️ Installation

### Zero-install via uvx (recommended)

If you have [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) installed, no separate installation step is needed. Just update your MCP client config (see [Connecting from an LLM Client](#connecting-from-an-llm-client) below) and `uvx` will handle the rest automatically.

```bash
# Verify uv is available
uvx sktime-mcp --help
```

### pip

```bash
pip install sktime-mcp

# With optional extras (SQL, forecasting models, file formats)
pip install "sktime-mcp[all]"
```

### Development installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/sktime/sktime-mcp
cd sktime-mcp
python3 -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

### 🐳 Docker

Run without installing anything locally (only Docker required):

```bash
# Build the image
docker build -t sktime-mcp .

# Run the MCP server (stdio transport)
docker run -i sktime-mcp
```

Or use Docker Compose:
