# Edit and verify a scoped Jupyter notebook task through MCP

Connect an external MCP agent to a selected Jupyter notebook, make bounded cell edits, execute the affected analysis and return saved results with execution evidence.

## Prerequisites

Python >=3.10; uv/uvx; JupyterLab; jupyter-collaboration; jupyter-mcp-tools; ipykernel; MCP client

## Installation

Install or set up from the source-backed instructions:

In the notebook environment install jupyterlab jupyter-collaboration jupyter-mcp-tools ipykernel. Start JupyterLab with token authentication on loopback port 8888 and confirm collaboration autosave works. Configure the MCP client command uvx with args ["jupyter-mcp-server==2.2.5"], env JUPYTER_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8888, JUPYTER_TOKEN set privately to the server token, and DOCUMENT_ID set to the authorized relative notebook path. Use a compatible Python environment; v2 requires MCP SDK >=2,=1.1.1. Keep credentials out of version control.
