Clearml

PyPI version Python 3.10+ License: MIT

A lightweight Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to interact with ClearML experiments, models, and projects. Get comprehensive ML experiment context and analysis directly in your AI conversations.

✨ Features

• 🔍 Experiment Discovery: Find and analyze ML experiments across projects
• 📊 Performance Analysis: Compare model metrics and training progress
• 📈 Real-time Metrics: Access training scalars, validation curves, and convergence analysis
• 🏷️ Smart Search: Filter tasks by name, tags, status, and custom queries
• 📦 Artifact Management: Retrieve model files, datasets, and experiment outputs
• 🌐 Cross-platform: Works with all major AI assistants and code editors

📋 Requirements

• uv (installation guide) for uvx command
• ClearML account with valid API credentials in ~/.clearml/clearml.conf

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

You need a configured ClearML environment with your credentials in ~/.clearml/clearml.conf:

[api]
api_server = https://api.clear.ml
web_server = https://app.clear.ml
files_server = https://files.clear.ml
credentials {
    "access_key": "your-access-key",
    "secret_key": "your-secret-key"
}

Get your credentials from ClearML Settings.

Installation

# Install from PyPI
pip install clearml-mcp

# Or run directly with uvx (no installation needed)
uvx clearml-mcp

🛠️ Available Tools

The ClearML MCP server provides 14 comprehensive tools for ML experiment analysis:

📊 Task Operations

• get_task_info - Get detailed task information, parameters, and status
• list_tasks - List tasks with advanced filtering (project, status, tags, user)
• get_task_parameters - Retrieve hyperparameters and configuration
• get_task_metrics - Access training metrics, scalars, and plots
• get_task_artifacts - Get artifacts, model files, and outputs

🤖 Model Operations

• get_model_info - Get model metadata and configuration details
• list_models - Browse available models with filtering
• get_model_artifacts - Access model files and download URLs

📁 Project Operations

• list_projects - Discover available ClearML projects
• get_project_stats - Get project statistics and task summaries
• find_project_by_pattern - Find projects matching name patterns
• find_experiment_in_project - Find specific experiments within projects

🔍 Analysis Tools

• compare_tasks - Compare multiple tasks by specific metrics
• search_tasks - Advanced search by name, tags, comments, and more

💡 Usage Examples

Demo

asciicast

Once configured, you can ask your AI assistant questions like:

• "Show me the latest experiments in the 'computer-vision' project"
• "Compare the accuracy metrics between tasks task-123 and task-456"
• "What are the hyperparameters for the best performing model?"
• "Find all failed experiments from last week"
• "Get the training curves for my latest BERT fine-tuning"
