Provides tools for interacting with Kaggle's API, enabling management of competitions, datasets, kernels, and models including browsing competitions, downloading datasets, searching notebooks, and accessing pre-trained models.
Kaggle-MCP: Kaggle API Integration for Claude AI
Kaggle-MCP connects Claude AI to the Kaggle API through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling competition, dataset, and kernel operations through the AI interface.
Features
Authentication: Securely authenticate with your Kaggle credentials
Competitions: Browse, search, and download data from Kaggle competitions
Datasets: Find, explore, and download datasets from Kaggle
Kernels: Search for and analyze Kaggle notebooks/kernels
Models: Access pre-trained models available on Kaggle
Quick Installation
The following commands install the base version of Kaggle-MCP.
macOS / Linux
Windows
Manual Installation
Configuration
After installation, run the setup utility to configure Claude Desktop:
This will locate and update your Claude Desktop configuration file, which is typically found at:
macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonWindows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.jsonLinux:
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Manual Configuration
Alternatively, you can manually add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration:
Kaggle API Credentials
To use Kaggle-MCP, you need to set up your Kaggle API credentials:
Go to your Kaggle account settings
In the API section, click "Create New API Token"
This will download a
kaggle.jsonfile with your credentialsMove this file to
~/.kaggle/kaggle.json(create the directory if needed)Set the correct permissions:
chmod 600 ~/.kaggle/kaggle.json
Alternatively, you can authenticate directly through Claude using the authenticate() tool with your username and API key.
Available Tools
For a comprehensive list of available tools and their detailed usage, please refer to the documentation at stevenyuyy.us/kaggle-mcp.
