MNE-MCP

An MCP server that gives AI assistants conversational access to MNE-Python for analyzing neurophysiology data (EEG, MEG, sEEG, ECoG, fNIRS). Enables plain-language analysis pipelines, from loading recordings to generating figures and explanations.

Emerging. No concerning findings. Grades remain capped until the project builds reputation through adoption. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

mne_check_status
mne_install_backend
mne_get_config
mne_session_info
mne_describe

Show a detailed summary of one named session object (channels, sfreq, montage, bads, etc.).

mne_get_info

Show the full channel list and measurement info for a named session object.

mne_reset_session

Clear all loaded objects and figures from the session, starting fresh. Irreversible.

mne_run_code
mne_list_files
mne_load_raw
mne_filter
mne_resample

Resample a Raw/Epochs object to a new sampling frequency (Hz), in place.

mne_crop

Crop a Raw/Epochs/Evoked object to the time window [tmin, tmax] seconds, in place.

mne_set_montage
mne_set_reference
mne_mark_bad_channels
mne_interpolate_bads

Interpolate currently-marked bad channels using spherical splines (requires a montage).

mne_plot_psd

Plot the power spectral density of a Raw/Epochs/Evoked object. Returns a PNG path.

mne_plot_raw

Plot raw signal traces (a window of channels over time). Returns a PNG path.

mne_plot_sensors

Plot the sensor/electrode layout (kind='topomap' 2D or '3d'). Returns a PNG path.

mne_fit_ica
mne_plot_ica_components

Plot ICA component scalp topographies (to identify eye/heart/muscle artifacts). Returns PNG path(s).

mne_plot_ica_sources

Plot ICA component time courses for an instrument (raw/epochs). Returns a PNG path.

mne_apply_ica
mne_find_events

Find stimulus/trigger events on a stim channel of a Raw object. Stores them under events_name.

mne_events_from_annotations

Convert a Raw object's annotations into an events array + event_id map (for EDF/BrainVision/EEGLAB data).

mne_make_epochs
mne_plot_epochs_image

Plot an ERP image (epochs × time heatmap) for an Epochs object. Returns PNG path(s).

mne_average_evoked
mne_plot_evoked

Plot an Evoked response. style: 'joint' (butterfly + topomaps, default), 'topo', or 'butterfly'. Returns PNG path.

mne_plot_topomap

Plot scalp topographies of an Evoked at given times. times='auto', 'peaks', or comma-separated seconds (e.g. '0.1,0.2,0.3'). Returns PNG path.

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

39/39 tools missing one or more hints — mne_check_status (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); mne_install_backend (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); mne_get_config (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +36 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Tool test coverage

Only 9/39 tools referenced in tests (23%)

Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 3 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
