Symbolic regression as an MCP tool (SINDy and PySR, free, no install)

I maintain neat-python and have been building a genetic programming framework in Julia. While doing research on that project, I kept finding the same complaint in PySR's GitHub discussions: people give up not because symbolic regression doesn't work, but because getting Julia talking to Python is a repeated source of failure, especially on Windows and in notebooks. So I stood up Occam (occam.fit) — a hosted MCP server exposing two tools: run_sindy for sparse identification of dynamics from time series (seconds), and run_pysr for evolutionary symbolic regression returning a Pareto front of…

    Author here. I’m unreasonably excited to share this library that we’re open-sourcing today — our team has been building it for five years and these ideas have been a passion of mine for fifteen. SymForce is a library that makes it easy to code a problem once in Python with an augmented SymPy API (backed by C++), experiment with it symbolically, generate optimized code in C++ or any backend language, and then run highly efficient nonlinear optimization problems based on the original problem definition. This workflow elegantly solves a wide variety of tasks in robotics and related domains, and…

    Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful, but they’re limited by fixed context windows and outdated knowledge. What if your AI could access live search, structured data extraction, OCR, and more—all through a standardized interface? We built the JigsawStack MCP Server, an open-source implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that lets any AI model call external tools effortlessly. Here’s what it unlocks: - Web Search & Scraping: Fetch live information and extract structured data from web pages. - OCR & Structured Data Extraction: Process images, receipts, invoices, and handwritten…

  • Python SDK – forecasting with foundation time-series and tabular modelsDec 2025 · github.com · ▲43

    We’ve built a Python SDK for running inference on foundation models designed for time-series and tabular data. They are new SOTA models for time-series and tabular tasks and work out of the box. They do not require model training or feature engineering. The link to the GitHub repository is: https://github.com/S-FM/faim-python-client

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
