data-mcp-tools

data-mcp-tools is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from makifbaysal/tasktrooper. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,660 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to optional MCP data tools for Jupyter, DuckDB, dbt, MLflow, Hugging Face, and PostgreSQL. MCP servers connect an agent to outside tools; this guide explains how to tell which ones are connected and what to use when they are not.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working with connected notebooks, databases, data models, experiment tracking, or model repositories. It helps choose the right tool and continue through the command line when no server is available.
Why use it?
An agent can wrongly assume a tool is available or treat a convenience tool as the actual deliverable. It provides command-line alternatives and keeps the repository code and tests as the source of truth.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

data-mcp-tools scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Data MCP Tools

Overview

TaskTrooper can connect optional MCP servers that make data work faster: a live Jupyter kernel, DuckDB, dbt, MLflow, Hugging Face search and Postgres. They are disabled by default; a person enables them in Settings → MCP servers. They are conveniences on top of the workspace, never a replacement for it: the repository's code and its test suite remain the deliverable and the evidence.

Core principle: a server is available only if its tools are in your tool list right now. If they are not, use the CLI equivalent and carry on — never stop a task, and never ask a person to install or enable a server mid-task.

1. Detecting availability

Look at your tool list. Tools from a server carry its id in the name — mcp_duckdb_… in TaskTrooper's own runtime, mcp__duckdb__… in a CLI runtime. Tool names differ between server versions; read the descriptions in your tool list rather than assuming a name from this skill. A server whose tools are absent is not connected for this run, whatever the repository's docs say.

2. The servers

Server id What it gives you Use it for Fallback without it
jupyter read, insert, edit and execute cells in a running local JupyterLab looking at data interactively, checking a notebook runs cell by cell uv run jupyter nbconvert --execute, papermill, or a script
duckdb SQL over Parquet/CSV/DuckDB files, in-memory by default EDA, profiling (SUMMARIZE), reconciling a result two ways duckdb CLI or uv run python -c "import duckdb; ..."
dbt lineage, compile, list, show, test, run, build for the project finding a model's parents and children, compiling SQL, running tests on the dev target the dbt CLI with the same commands
mlflow experiments, runs and registered models from the tracking server (ML tool set) finding the current champion and its metrics to compare your candidate against a short script with mlflow.MlflowClient
huggingface model search on the Hub finding a pretrained model and its exact revision the Hub website docs or huggingface_hub in a script
postgres read-only SQL against a configured Postgres inspecting a source table's shape and row counts psql with the repository's dev connection

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

data-mcp-tools is a skill published in the GitHub repository makifbaysal/tasktrooper (113 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,660 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-09.
