IterableData — Claude Code MCP server: read and convert data
Give an agent tools to read and convert files across many data formats, one record at a time. Handy when nested structures need to stay intact.
claude mcp add iterabledata -- uvx iterabledataWhat IterableData does
IterableData lets an agent inspect and transform data files in formats such as CSV, JSON, Parquet, and XML. It processes records through an iterator-based interface and keeps nested structures intact. Ask it to identify a file’s format or convert a group of files.
In Claude Code, connect the server with claude mcp add iterabledata -- uvx iterabledata. The project description also gives iterable-mcp as the launch command after installing iterabledata[mcp]. Format detection can use a filename or file contents, and compressed files are supported. Malformed input raises a typed error by default, so it won’t be silently treated as an empty dataset.
What it helps with
- read records from a file with an unknown format
- convert CSV records to JSONL
- batch-convert files in a directory
- inspect nested fields in a data file
Example prompts for the agent
- Identify the format of
data.binand read its records. - Convert the CSV files in this folder to JSONL.
- Show the nested fields in
events.json.

Questions about IterableData
How do I install IterableData in Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add iterabledata -- uvx iterabledata.
What does IterableData do?
It gives an agent tools to read, inspect, and convert files across data formats while processing records one at a time.
Does IterableData preserve nested data?
Yes. Nested structures are handled as Python dictionaries rather than flattened into tables.
