Stack · Data science

Data and ML desk

Gets the data out, trains or fine-tunes the model, and evaluates it before anybody calls it an improvement.

Built for: The data scientist who spends more of the week moving files than modelling, and has no evaluation harness.

Install all 12 parts

The button opens the checkout, where 7 servers and 5 skills are listed one by one with what each does to the bill — free, already yours, monthly or a one-off licence. Nothing is charged until you confirm it there, in Stripe’s own card frame on that page rather than a redirect, and each paid member keeps its own budget cap.

01 · Outcome

What your agent can do with this

The reason to buy a stack rather than five listings: each line below needs more than one member connected at the same time.

  1. 01

    Load a CSV or an Excel file, profile the columns and say what is missing before any modelling starts.

  2. 02

    Query Snowflake read-only, and read the files that never made it into the warehouse from Drive.

  3. 03

    Fine-tune a language or vision model through Hugging Face infrastructure, with the training recipe written down.

  4. 04

    Evaluate an agent or a prompt against a defined harness instead of a demo that happened to work.

02 · Assembly

The assembly, part by part

What each part contributes, and why it was picked over the obvious alternative. Prices and permissions are read from the listings, so nothing here can disagree with the catalogue.

03 · Cost

What it costs, and on what assumption

Every member is a subscription or a licence bought once, so the monthly figure is a price rather than an estimate: what moves it is adding or dropping a member, not how hard the stack is worked. The one assumption is that a one-off licence is spread over a year so it can sit in the same column as a subscription.

Subscriptions at their monthly plan price; one-off licences spread over 12 months. One-off purchases in this stack total $186 — Data Analysis in Jupyter $99, DeepEval $39, Health Data $19, Paper2Code $29 — paid once and spread here so they sit in the same column as a subscription. Everything arrives on one mcprush invoice, taken by Stripe from the card on your account, not one per publisher — mcprush.com is the merchant of record and each publisher is paid out of it.

What moves the bill
Flat every month$0 · 0 subscriptions
Carries a call allowancenothing
Paid once$186
Traffic assumed5k calls / month

Nothing in this stack carries a call allowance, so nothing here can run out before the month does. The bill is decided when you install it, not when you use it.

Budget caps are set per install and enforced at the gateway, so a retry loop is refused at the cap rather than left to run through an allowance overnight.

04 · Setup

Setting it up, in order

One step per part, in the order they are useful: connect what the work reads before what it writes, and install the skills that decide how the work is done last. Each step is a command you can read before you run it.

1
Key-pair or SSO for Snowflake
The read-only server supports key-pair and browser SSO. Use one of them and skip storing a warehouse password anywhere.
2
Scope Drive to the project
The Drive connector searches and reads. Point it at the project folder, not at everything shared with you since 2019.
3
Set the training budget first
Fine-tuning bills by the hour on somebody else's GPUs. Decide the ceiling before the first job, not after the first invoice.
4
Write the eval before the model
The evaluation skill needs a defined task and dataset. Built afterwards, it measures what the model already does well.
One command12 parts
npx mcprush@latest stack add ml-desk

Nothing in this stack installs from one command today: 12 members are either paid, run from its own source, or a skill with its own command — the steps above name each one. Nothing is connected until you approve it.

Before you start
  • 7 members have not declared what credential they need — check each one’s own page before you start.
  • What this stack can write is not recorded — 7 members of 7 have no imported tool surface. Section 05 says what is known before you approve anything.
  • 7 members can run on your own machine instead of ours, if you would rather they did.
05 · Permissions

What the whole stack can reach

Installed together, these tool surfaces add up. It is the first thing a security reviewer asks for, so what has been counted — and what nobody has counted yet — is on the page rather than in a PDF.

tools that only read
Which tools read and which write is counted from the surface a publisher imports, and 7 members of 7 have no imported tool surface.
tools that can change something
Not recorded, and not estimated: a total added up from the members that have a surface would be read as the whole stack’s. The table below is what is known, member by member.

tools that reach the network
Not recorded: no member of this stack has published a tool surface, so where the calls go is each member’s own page to answer.

Reading the number

A stack's blast radius is the union of its members, not the worst of them. That union cannot be taken here, because 7 members of 7 have no imported tool surface — so the figure a review asks for is missing rather than low, and a member marked not imported is one nobody has counted rather than one that cannot write.

06 · Swaps

Sensible swaps

A stack is a default, not a verdict. These are the substitutions the maintainer would make, and what each one costs or saves.

For a data lake on S3 rather than a warehouse: the same read-only querying, billed per scan instead of per credit.

same money at 5k calls the same 0 tools both grade A

Where the files arrive as spreadsheets rather than as clean CSVs, the Excel reader handles them with pagination and the CSV tooling becomes redundant.

07 · Limits

Where this stack stops

Written by the maintainer, kept on the page rather than in a support thread.

  • It cannot deploy a model. Training and evaluation are here; serving is an infrastructure decision this stack does not make.

  • The warehouse connection is read-only. A feature table has to be built by whoever owns the pipeline.

  • It will not tell you a model is good. The evaluation gives numbers against a harness you defined; the threshold is yours.

08 · Maintenance

Who keeps this current

A stack has an owner: whoever keeps it re-checks the combination when a member changes, and the members themselves are published by the people named on each row.
