Semantic Frame
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Semantic Framesummarize trend and anomalies in [100, 102, 99, 101, 500, 100, 98] as server latency"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Semantic Frame
Token-efficient semantic compression for numerical data.
Semantic Frame converts raw numerical data (NumPy, Pandas, Polars) into natural language descriptions optimized for LLM consumption. Instead of sending thousands of data points to an AI agent, send a 50-word semantic summary.
The Problem
LLMs are terrible at arithmetic. When you send raw data like [100, 102, 99, 101, 500, 100, 98] to GPT-4 or Claude:
Token waste: 1000 data points = ~2000 tokens
Hallucination risk: LLMs guess trends instead of calculating them
Context overflow: Large datasets fill the context window
Related MCP server: Claude Data Buddy
The Solution
Semantic Frame provides deterministic analysis using NumPy, then translates results into token-efficient narratives:
from semantic_frame import describe_series
import pandas as pd
data = pd.Series([100, 102, 99, 101, 500, 100, 98])
print(describe_series(data, context="Server Latency (ms)"))Output:
The Server Latency (ms) data shows a flat/stationary pattern with stable
variability. 1 anomaly detected at index 4 (value: 500.00).
Baseline: 100.00 (range: 98.00-500.00).Result: 95%+ token reduction, zero hallucination risk.

})
results = describe_dataframe(df, context="Server Metrics")
print(results['cpu'].narrative)
