Available tools 14

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

discovery
discovery_account
Check your Disco account status. Returns current plan, available credits (subscription + purchased), and payment method status. Use this to verify you have sufficient credits before running a private analysis. Args: api_key: Disco API key (disco_...). Optional if DISCOVERY_API_KEY env var is set.
discovery_add_payment_method
Attach a Stripe payment method to your Disco account. The payment method must be tokenized via Stripe's API first — card details never touch Disco's servers. Required before purchasing credits or subscribing to a paid plan. To tokenize a card, call Stripe's API directly: POST https://api.stripe.com/v1/payment_methods with the stripe_publishable_key from your account info. Args: payment_method_id: Stripe payment method ID (pm_...) from Stripe's API. api_key: Disco API key (disco_...). Optional if DISCOVERY_API_KEY env var is set.
discovery_analyze
Run Disco on tabular data to find novel, statistically validated patterns. This is NOT another data analyst — it's a discovery pipeline that systematically searches for feature interactions, subgroup effects, and conditional relationships nobody thought to look for, then validates each on hold-out data with FDR-corrected p-values and checks novelty against academic literature. This is a long-running operation. Returns a run_id immediately. Use discovery_status to poll and discovery_get_results to fetch completed results. Use this when you need to go beyond answering questions about data and start finding things nobody thought to ask. Do NOT use this for summary statistics, visualization, or SQL queries. Public runs are free but results are published. Private runs cost credits. Call discovery_estimate first to check cost. Private report URLs require sign-in — tell the user to sign in at the dashboard with the same email address used to create the account (email code, no password needed). Call discovery_upload first to upload your file, then pass the returned file_ref here. Args: target_column: The column to analyze — what drives it, beyond what's obvious. file_ref: The file reference returned by discovery_upload. analysis_depth: Search depth (1=fast, higher=deeper). Default 1. visibility: "public" (free) or "private" (costs credits). Default "public". title: Optional title for the analysis. description: Optional description of the dataset. excluded_columns: Optional JSON array of column names to exclude from analysis. column_descriptions: Optional JSON object mapping column names to descriptions. Significantly improves pattern explanations — always provide if column names are non-obvious (e.g. {"col_7": "patient age", "feat_a": "blood pressure"}). author: Optional author name for the report. source_url: Optional source URL for the dataset. use_llms: Slower and more expensive, but you get smarter pre-processing, summary page, literature context and pattern novelty assessment. Only applies to private runs — public runs always use LLMs. Default false. api_key: Disco API key (disco_...). Optional if DISCOVERY_API_KEY env var is set.
discovery_estimate
Estimate the credits required to run a Disco analysis. Returns `required_credits` for public (always 0) and private, with private split by whether LLMs are enabled (use_llms=False is faster, use_llms=True adds smarter preprocessing, literature context and a written summary). Also returns per-visibility depth caps and accepted file formats. No authentication required — when an API key is supplied, also returns the caller's available credits. Call this before discovery_analyze whenever cost or feasibility is unclear. Args: file_size_mb: Size of the dataset in megabytes. num_columns: Number of columns in the dataset. analysis_depth: Search depth (1=fast, higher=deeper). Used to compute the private-run cost. Default 2. api_key: Disco API key (disco_...). Optional. When provided, the response includes `account.available_credits`.
discovery_get_results
Fetch the full results of a completed Disco run. Returns discovered patterns (with conditions, p-values, novelty scores, citations), feature importance scores, a summary with key insights, column statistics, and suggestions for what to explore next. The response includes a `dashboard_urls` object with direct links to each page of the interactive report — use these to direct the user to the most relevant view: - **summary**: AI-generated overview with key insights, novel findings, and plain-language explanation of the most important findings - **patterns**: Full list of discovered patterns with conditions, effect sizes, p-values, novelty scores, citations, and interactive visualizations - **features**: Feature importances, feature statistics and distribution plots, and correlation matrix - **territory**: Interactive 3D map showing how patterns select different regions of the data Only call this after discovery_status returns "completed". Args: run_id: The run ID returned by discovery_analyze. api_key: Disco API key (disco_...). Optional if DISCOVERY_API_KEY env var is set.
discovery_list_plans
List available Disco plans with pricing. No authentication required. Returns all available subscription tiers with credit allowances and pricing. Use this to help users choose a plan.
discovery_login
Get a new API key for an existing Disco account. Sends a 6-digit verification code to the email address. Call discovery_login_verify with the code to receive a new API key. Use this when you need an API key for an account that already exists (e.g. the key was lost or this is a new agent session). Returns 404 if no account exists with this email — use discovery_signup instead. Args: email: Email address of the existing account.
discovery_login_verify
Complete login and receive a new API key. Call this after discovery_login returns {"status": "verification_required"}. The user receives a 6-digit code by email — pass it here along with the same email address. Returns a new API key on success. Args: email: Email address used in the discovery_login call. code: 6-digit verification code from the email.
discovery_purchase_credits
Purchase Disco credit packs using a stored payment method. Credits cost $0.10 each, sold in packs of 100 ($10/pack). Credits are used for private analyses (public analyses are free). Requires a payment method on file — use discovery_add_payment_method first. Args: packs: Number of 100-credit packs to purchase. Default 1. api_key: Disco API key (disco_...). Optional if DISCOVERY_API_KEY env var is set.
discovery_signup
Create a Disco account and get an API key. Provide an email address to start the signup flow. If email verification is required, returns {"status": "verification_required"} — the user will receive a 6-digit code by email, then call discovery_signup_verify to complete signup and receive the API key. The free tier (10 credits/month, unlimited public runs) is active immediately. No authentication required. Returns 409 if the email is already registered. Args: email: Email address for the new account. name: Display name (optional — defaults to email local part).
discovery_signup_verify
Complete Disco signup using an email verification code. Call this after discovery_signup returns {"status": "verification_required"}. The user receives a 6-digit code by email — pass it here along with the same email address used in discovery_signup. Returns an API key on success. Args: email: Email address used in the discovery_signup call. code: 6-digit verification code from the email.
discovery_status
Check the status of a Disco run. Returns current status and progress details: - status: "pending" | "processing" | "completed" | "failed" - job_status: underlying job queue status - queue_position: position in queue when pending (1 = next up) - current_step: active pipeline step (preprocessing, training, interpreting, reporting) - estimated_wait_seconds: estimated queue wait time in seconds (pending only) Poll this after calling discovery_analyze. Use discovery_get_results to fetch full results once status is "completed". Args: run_id: The run ID returned by discovery_analyze. api_key: Disco API key (disco_...). Optional if DISCOVERY_API_KEY env var is set.
discovery_subscribe
Subscribe to or change your Disco plan. Available plans: - "free_tier": Explorer — free, 10 credits/month - "tier_1": Researcher — $49/month, 500 credits/month - "tier_2": Team — $199/month, 2000 credits/month Paid plans require a payment method on file. Credits roll over on paid plans. Args: plan: Plan tier ID ("free_tier", "tier_1", or "tier_2"). api_key: Disco API key (disco_...). Optional if DISCOVERY_API_KEY env var is set.
discovery_upload
Upload a dataset file and return a file reference for use with discovery_analyze. Call this before discovery_analyze. Pass the returned result directly to discovery_analyze as the file_ref argument. Provide exactly one of: file_url, file_path, or file_content. Args: file_url: A publicly accessible http/https URL. The server downloads it directly. Best option for remote datasets. file_path: Absolute path to a local file. Only works when running the MCP server locally (not the hosted version). Streams the file directly — no size limit. file_content: File contents, base64-encoded. For small files when a URL or path isn't available. Limited by the model's context window. file_name: Filename with extension (e.g. "data.csv"), for format detection. Only used with file_content. Default: "data.csv". api_key: Disco API key (disco_...). Optional if DISCOVERY_API_KEY env var is set.

Disco — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Disco do?
It exposes 14 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: discovery_account, discovery_add_payment_method, discovery_analyze, discovery_estimate, discovery_get_results, discovery_list_plans and 8 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Disco working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 7 of 92 checks got a reply (7.6%), average response time 1305 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Disco as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Disco?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Disco need an API key?
No. Disco completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 14 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Disco?
It answers our handshake in 1305 ms on average, which is faster than 3% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Disco open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 7 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
