load_file

Load CSV or XLSX files into DataFrames for data analysis. Specify sheet names for XLSX files and customize DataFrame names as needed.

Instructions

Load Data File Tool

Purpose: Load a local CSV or XLSX file into a DataFrame.

Usage Notes: • If a df_name is not provided, the tool will automatically assign names sequentially as df_1, df_2, and so on. • For XLSX files, you can specify the sheet_name. If not provided, the first sheet will be loaded.

Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function in ScriptRunner class that implements the load_file tool logic: loads CSV or XLSX files into a pandas DataFrame, stores it in self.data with a given or auto-generated name, logs notes, and returns success or error TextContent.
    def load_file(self, file_path: str, df_name:str = None, sheet_name: Optional[str] = None):
        self.df_count += 1
        if not df_name:
            df_name = f"df_{self.df_count}"
        try:
            file_extension = os.path.splitext(file_path)[1].lower()
            if file_extension == ".csv":
                self.data[df_name] = pd.read_csv(file_path)
                self.notes.append(f"Successfully loaded CSV into dataframe '{df_name}' from '{file_path}'")
            elif file_extension == ".xlsx":
                self.data[df_name] = pd.read_excel(file_path, sheet_name=sheet_name)
                self.notes.append(f"Successfully loaded XLSX into dataframe '{df_name}' from '{file_path}' (sheet: {sheet_name or 'first'})")
            else:
                raise ValueError(f"Unsupported file type: {file_extension}. Only .csv and .xlsx are supported.")
            
            return [
                TextContent(type="text", text=f"Successfully loaded data into dataframe '{df_name}'")
            ]
        except Exception as e:
            error_message = f"Error loading file: {str(e)}"
            self.notes.append(f"ERROR: {error_message}")
            return [
                TextContent(type="text", text=f"Error: {error_message}")
            ]
  • Pydantic schema (BaseModel) defining the input parameters for the load_file tool: file_path (required), optional df_name and sheet_name.
    class LoadFile(BaseModel):
        file_path: str
        df_name: Optional[str] = None
        sheet_name: Optional[str] = None
  • Registration of the load_file tool in the MCP server's list_tools handler, providing name, description, and input schema.
    Tool(name=DataExplorationTools.LOAD_FILE, description=LOAD_FILE_TOOL_DESCRIPTION, inputSchema=LoadFile.model_json_schema()),
  • Dispatch logic in the MCP server's call_tool handler that routes calls to the load_file tool to the ScriptRunner instance's load_file method.
    if name == DataExplorationTools.LOAD_FILE:
        return script_runner.load_file(arguments.get("file_path"), arguments.get("df_name"), arguments.get("sheet_name"))
  • Enum defining the tool names, including LOAD_FILE = 'load_file' used in registration and dispatch.
    class DataExplorationTools(str, Enum):
        LOAD_FILE = "load_file"
