timesfm-mcp

MCP server for Google's TimesFM 2.5 — give any AI agent zero-config time-series forecasting.

Plug TimesFM 2.5, Google's 200M-parameter foundation model for time-series, directly into Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client. The agent calls forecast, gets point predictions + uncertainty bands + a trend/seasonality summary, and writes the explanation itself.

No ML configuration. No data pipelines. One line to run.

Chart generated with the statistical baseline. See "Enable TimesFM 2.5" below to use the full neural model.

Quickstart (30 seconds)

uvx timesfm-mcp        # runs over stdio for local agents

Add to your Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Cursor config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "forecast": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["timesfm-mcp"] }
  }
}

Then ask your agent: "Forecast the next 6 months from this revenue data and tell me what to expect."

System requirements: ≥ 16 GB RAM · ~800 MB disk (model weights, downloaded on first use) · PyTorch

Not sure? Skip this — uvx timesfm-mcp already works great on any machine.

pip install "timesfm-mcp[timesfm]"

The TimesFM 2.5 source is bundled inside this package (Apache-2.0, Google LLC) — no separate git clone needed. The server auto-detects it and upgrades automatically; no config change required.

Two backends, zero config

Start with the baseline. It runs on any machine, installs in seconds, and delivers production-ready forecasts. Upgrade to TimesFM only if you need the neural model's extra accuracy and have the RAM for it.

Migrating from forecast-mcp

timesfm-mcp is the renamed continuation of forecast-mcp. Update your install:

pip install timesfm-mcp      # replaces: pip install forecast-mcp
uvx timesfm-mcp              # replaces: uvx forecast-mcp

Update your agent config: change "args": ["forecast-mcp"] → "args": ["timesfm-mcp"].
