Disco — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Uncovers non-obvious statistical rules in tabular datasets without prior hypotheses. Useful when exploring complex feature interactions.
claude mcp add --transport http disco https://disco.leap-labs.com/mcpWhat Disco does
Disco scans tabular records to detect combinations of attributes that noticeably alter a chosen outcome. Instead of prompting an LLM directly on raw CSV files, it trains machine learning models on a partition and extracts candidate rules using interpretability techniques.
The engine evaluates each discovered rule against a holdout test split and applies Benjamini-Hochberg FDR adjustments to control false discovery rates. Survived patterns undergo a semantic check against published papers to mark whether the finding is novel or already established.
Raw identifiers, surrogate columns, and metrics derived straight from the outcome must be dropped beforehand. Without this cleanup, the discovery pipeline will surface mathematically valid yet tautological relationships.
What it helps with
- detect multi-factor feature interactions across numeric and categorical columns
- confirm pattern reliability on unseen splits using false discovery rate corrections
- cross-reference detected rules with published academic research for novelty
- generate structured breakdowns containing condition thresholds and effect sizes

Questions about Disco
How to install Disco in Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http disco https://disco.leap-labs.com/mcp in your terminal. This registers the remote HTTP endpoint in Claude Code.
What does the Disco MCP server do?
It processes tabular files to uncover subgroup effects and feature thresholds that influence a target column, cross-checking findings against scientific literature.
What columns should be removed prior to analysis?
Remove record identifiers, leakage features, and any columns derived from the outcome to prevent obvious tautologies in the generated rules.
