Use this skill when you need to find Stata on the user's machine or configure `stata-mcp` to use it. `stata-discover` provides the workflow for discovering Stata executables and the official way to configure `stata-mcp`. If the user's computer has multiple Stata executables available, this skill also provides the version the user most likely wants to use.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Users need Stata to run `stata-mcp`, but Stata is not always installed in a default location. This skill discovers which Stata executables/versions exist on the user's device and configures `stata-mcp` to use the most suitable one. All commands below use `uvx stata-mcp`; if `stata-mcp` is already installed, the bare `stata-mcp` command works the same way. # Stata Discover ## When to Use - First-time setup: the user has not configured Stata for `stata-mcp` yet - `stata_do` or `stata-mcp doctor` reports that the Stata CLI cannot be found - The user wants to switch the Stata version/edition used by `stata-mcp` - The machine has multiple Stata installations and the user is unsure which one is in use ## Find Stata with CLI List all Stata installations on the machine: ```bash uvx stata-mcp discover ``` - Prints one discovered Stata path per line, deduplicated and sorted; prints nothing when none is found - Search scope: installed applications, common installation directories, `PATH`, and the `STATA_CLI` environment variable - Read-only: does not launch Stata, verify licenses, or modify configuration …

How to install
mdr add sepinetam/mcp-for-stata/stata-discover@sha256:8bcaf4e89c74c37dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
