stepcode
Read-only MCP access to stepcode.dev's how-to corpus: analysis pages by tool.
Should I use this
Quality & Safety
A
Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.
Context Cost
~1,540Tokens (tool definitions)
~3.5 KBTypical response size
Moderate attention impact (1.20% of 128k context)
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

🟢list_howto_pages
List every published how-to page on stepcode.dev — 36 analysis x tool cells (Excel, Google Sheets, R, Python, SQL, DAX/Power BI) with slug, title, analysis family, tool, vertical and whether the tool's approach diverges from the others.

}🟢search_howto_pages(analysisSlug, tool, vertical, query)
Filter the how-to index by analysis family, tool, vertical, and/or a case-insensitive text query against title, analysis name, intro, problem statement, and step operations (with practitioner-synonym coverage, e.g. attrition/turnover/churn, logistic regression/classifier, power bi/dax, diversity/simpson/blau). All filters are optional and combine with AND; call with no arguments to get every page (same as list_howto_pages).
