Quantitative Researcher MCP Server
An MCP server implementation that provides tools for managing quantitative research knowledge graphs, enabling structured representation of research projects, datasets, variables, hypotheses, statistical tests, models, and results. This server helps quantitative researchers organize their data, track their analyses, evaluate hypotheses, and generate insights from numerical data.

Hypothesis Testing: Track hypotheses, their associated tests, and resulting conclusions
Dataset Management: Organize and track descriptive statistics and variables within datasets
Statistical Analysis: Record statistical tests, models, and their results
Variable Relationships: Track correlations, predictions, and other relationships between variables
Research Question Tracking: Link data analyses to specific research questions
Data Visualization: Document visualizations created from datasets and results
Model Performance: Monitor statistical model performance metrics
Research Finding Documentation: Link findings to supporting statistical evidence
Research Methodology Documentation: Track methodological decisions and approaches
Entities
The Quantitative Researcher MCP Server recognizes the following entity types:
project: Overall research study
dataset: Collection of data used for analysis
variable: Specific measurable attribute in a dataset
hypothesis: Formal testable statement
statisticalTest: Analysis method applied to data
result: Outcome of statistical analysis
analysisScript: Code used to perform analysis
visualization: Visual representation of data
model: Statistical/mathematical model
literature: Academic sources
researchQuestion: Formal questions guiding the study
finding: Results or conclusions
participant: Research subjects
status: Entity status values (active, completed, pending, abandoned)
priority: Priority level values (high, low)
Relationships
Entities can be connected through the following relationship types:
correlates_with: Statistical correlation between variables
predicts: Predictive relationship from independent to dependent variable
tests: Statistical test examines hypothesis
analyzes: Analysis performed on dataset
produces: Analysis produces result
visualizes: Visualization displays data or result
contains: Hierarchical relationship
part_of: Entity is part of another entity
depends_on: Dependency relationship
supports: Evidence supporting a hypothesis or finding
contradicts: Evidence contradicting a hypothesis or finding
derived_from: Entity is derived from another entity
controls_for: Variable/method controls for confounds
moderates: Variable moderates a relationship
mediates: Variable mediates a relationship
implements: Script implements statistical test/model
compares: Statistical comparison between groups/variables
includes: Model includes variables
validates: Validates a model or result
cites: References literature
has_status: Links entities to their current status (active, completed, pending, abandoned)
has_priority: Links entities to their priority level (high, low)
precedes: Indicates that one process or activity comes before another in a sequence
Available Tools
The Quantitative Researcher MCP Server provides these tools for interacting with research knowledge:
startsession
Starts a new quantitative research session, generating a unique session ID and displaying current research projects, datasets, models, visualizations, and previous sessions. Shows status information via has_status relations, priority levels via has_priority relations, and identifies activities ready to be worked on next based on sequential process relationships.
loadcontext
Loads detailed context for a specific entity (project, dataset, variable, etc.), displaying relevant information based on entity type. Includes status information, priority levels, and sequential process relationships.
endsession
Records the results of a research session through a structured, multi-stage process:
summary: Records session summary, duration, and project focus
datasetUpdates: Documents updates to datasets during the session
newAnalyses: Records new statistical analyses performed
newVisualizations: Tracks new data visualizations created
hypothesisResults: Documents results of hypothesis testing
modelUpdates: Records updates to statistical models
statusUpdates: Records changes to entity status values
projectStatus: Updates overall project status, priority assignments, and sequential relationships
assembly: Final assembly of all session data
buildcontext
Creates new entities, relations, or observations in the knowledge graph:
entities: Add new research entities (projects, datasets, variables, status, priority, etc.)
relations: Create relationships between entities (including has_status, has_priority, precedes)
observations: Add observations to existing entities
deletecontext
Removes entities, relations, or observations from the knowledge graph:
entities: Remove research entities
relations: Remove relationships between entities (including status, priority, and sequential relations)
observations: Remove specific observations from entities
advancedcontext
Retrieves information from the knowledge graph:
graph: Get the entire knowledge graph
search: Search for nodes based on query criteria
nodes: Get specific nodes by name
related: Find related entities
status: Find entities with a specific status value (active, completed, pending, abandoned)
priority: Find entities with a specific priority value (high, low)
sequence: Identify sequential relationships for research processes
Domain-Specific Functions
