announced: '2025-07-02'
server:
  name: Dataloop MCP Server
  vendor: Dataloop
  implementation: FastAPI application, deployed as a Dataloop app/pipeline
  transport: http
  url: null
  hosted_endpoint: none-published
  repository: https://github.com/dataloop-ai-apps/dataloop-mcp
  install: Add the MCP directly to a Dataloop project on Cursor by copying the pipeline link from the
    GitHub repository and pasting it into the "Add from GitHub" field.
tools:
- name: ask-dataloop
  description: Answer a natural-language question about the Dataloop platform and return a structured
    response sourced from the official Dataloop documentation (e.g. "How do I create a dataset?", "What
    are the available pipeline node types?").
  input_schema: unknown
  source: provider announcement
clients_documented:
- Cursor
scope: Documentation question-answering only. The server does NOT expose the Dataloop platform REST surface
  (projects, datasets, items, annotations, tasks, services) as MCP tools — it is a docs-retrieval tool,
  so an agent still has to fall back to the SDK or the REST API to act on the platform.

  finding: Official Dataloop announcement of the Dataloop MCP Server, naming the single tool `ask-dataloop`
    and linking the GitHub repository.

  http_status: 404
  finding: The repository linked from the announcement no longer resolves publicly (private or renamed).
    Recorded as observed; the server itself is still advertised by the provider.

  finding: TLS handshake failure — no hosted MCP endpoint on that hostname.

  finding: POST tools/list rejected; not an MCP endpoint.
probes:
  tools_list_attempted: true
  tools_list_result: No publicly reachable HTTP MCP endpoint. tools/list could not be executed against
    any Dataloop host, so the live inputSchema for `ask-dataloop` is not captured here — only the tool
    name and description the provider published.
gap:
  summary: Dataloop ships an official MCP server but publishes neither a hosted remote endpoint nor a
    public repository/registry entry, so the tool manifest cannot be introspected by an agent. Publishing
    a remote MCP URL (or restoring the public repo) would make the server discoverable rather than announcement-only.
