What is the Occam MCP Server?

The Occam MCP server gives AI agents structured, permission-aware access to Occam through the Model Context Protocol. With 4 pre-built actions, agents can read, create, and update Occam data on behalf of authorized users.

Willow ships the Occam MCP server as part of an enterprise control plane. Every call runs behind SSO (Okta, Azure AD), enforces RBAC and least-privilege at runtime, writes to a full audit trail, and integrates with Splunk and Loki for SIEM visibility. Connect from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code, n8n, or any custom agent. Install once, distribute org-wide, and see exactly how Occam is being used by every AI agent in your stack.

Tools

Tool

feature_request

Request a feature that Occam doesn't support yet. Use this when you need a capability that Occam doesn't currently offer. Requests are logged and used to prioritize development. Rate limit: 5 requests/hour per IP, 50/hour global — stricter than the compute tools' 10/hour to prevent log flooding. Descriptions longer than 500 characters are truncated.
Tool

sindy_run

Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics (SINDy). Recovers governing differential equations (dx/dt = f(x)) from time series data. Returns human-readable sparse expressions. Fast (seconds). For algebraic y = f(x) relationships without time structure, use pysr_run instead. Pricing: free tier up to 100 rows and 8 variables. Beyond that, $0.05 + $0.01 per 100 extra rows + $0.01 per extra variable squared, via x402 (USDC on Base) or MPP/Stripe. MPP/Stripe adds a flat $0.35 per-transaction fee (Stripe processing), so the MPP challenge amount in a `payment_required` response is $0.35 higher than the x402 amount for the same base price; x402 gets the lower rate. Omit `payment` for free-tier requests; paid requests without a valid credential receive a `payment_required` result with pricing and accepted schemes. Full pricing table as structured JSON: occam://pricing Advisory limits: jobs over 500,000 rows or 50 variables are accepted but may not converge within the time budget; the response carries a top-level `warning` the agent should surface and treat as tentative. If `feature_names` is supplied, its length must equal the number of data columns; a mismatch is rejected with a validation error. Rate limit: 10 requests/hour per IP, 200/hour global, max queue depth 20 (shared with pysr_run and pysr_uncertainty). Response (success) includes `equations[]` (each with `variable`, `equation`, `expression`, `expression_latex`, `r2`), `library_terms`, `nonzero_terms`, `elapsed_seconds`, `canonical_match` (dict with `system`, `form`, `variable_map`, `parameter_map`, `confidence` if the discovered system matches one of Lorenz / Lotka-Volterra / Van der Pol / Duffing; `null` otherwise), optional `warning`, optional `_meta` (MPP receipt on paid calls). Full response and payment-required schemas: occam://tool-schemas Example request: data=[[1.0, 0.0], [0.95, -0.31], [0.81, -0.59]], t=[0.0, 0.1, 0.2], feature_names=["x", "y"], poly_degree=2, threshold=0.1 Policy: occam://privacy-policy — Citation: occam://citation-info
Tool

pysr_run

Evolutionary Symbolic Regression (PySR). Discovers algebraic equations y = f(x1, x2, ...) from feature/target data. Returns a Pareto front ranked by the complexity/accuracy tradeoff. Slower than SINDy (10-60s); searches often terminate early on convergence. For differential equations from time series, use sindy_run instead. Pricing: free tier up to 100 rows × 8 features, 60s timeout. Beyond that, $0.25 + $0.03 per 100 extra rows + $0.01 per extra feature squared, timeout up to 300s (5 min), via x402 (USDC on Base) or MPP/Stripe. MPP/Stripe adds a flat $0.35 per-transaction fee (Stripe processing), so the MPP challenge amount in a `payment_required` response is $0.35 higher than the x402 amount for the same base price; x402 gets the lower rate. Omit `payment` for free-tier requests; paid requests without a valid credential receive a `payment_required` result with pricing and accepted schemes. Full pricing: occam://pricing Advisory limits: jobs over 50,000 rows or 20 features are accepted but may not converge; response carries a top-level `warning`. Operators: fixed supported set only — custom operators (e.g. 'inv(x) = 1/x') are rejected. Unary: sin, cos, tan, exp, log, log2, log10, sqrt, abs, sinh, cosh, tanh. Binary: +, -, *, /, ^. See also prompt `supported_operators`. Loss metric: `loss` (in `pareto_front[].loss` and `best_loss`) is mean squared error between model prediction and `y` on the full training set — not RMSE, and not normalized by Var(y). A threshold appropriate for one dataset scales with y's magnitude, so set `loss_threshold` with that in mind (e.g. for y values near 1.0, 1e-6 is a tight fit; for y near 1000, the equivalent is 1.0). Early termination: set `loss_threshold` to stop at your noise floor. The server also stops when the search stalls (<1% improvement in the last third of the budget); disable with `stall_detection=false`. Response `stop_reason` is one of: loss_threshold, stall, timeout, natural. If `feature_names` is supplied, its length must equal the number of columns in `X`; a mismatch is rejected with a validation error. Follow-up: call `pysr_uncertainty` with a chosen expression and the same dataset for bootstrap confidence intervals on its fit constants and optional prediction bands. Rate limit: 10 requests/hour per IP, 200/hour global, max queue depth 20 (shared with sindy_run and pysr_uncertainty). Response (success) includes `pareto_front[]` (each with `complexity`, `loss`, `expression`, `expression_latex`), `best_expression`, `best_expression_latex`, `best_loss`, `best_complexity`, `stop_reason`, `elapsed_seconds`, `queue_seconds` (>0 = server saturated; use as backoff signal), optional `warning`, optional `_meta` (MPP receipt). Full response and payment-required schemas: occam://tool-schemas Example request: X=[[0.0], [1.0], [2.0], [3.0]], y=[1.0, 3.0, 5.0, 7.0], feature_names=["x"], max_complexity=10, timeout_seconds=15 Policy: occam://privacy-policy — Citation: occam://citation-info
Tool

pysr_uncertainty

Bootstrap confidence intervals for the numeric constants of a frozen expression, plus optional prediction bands on an x-grid. Typical flow: call pysr_run, pick an expression from the response (best_expression or a pareto_front entry), pass it back here with the same dataset to get CIs on its fit constants. Returns frequentist bootstrap confidence intervals, not Bayesian credible intervals — posterior inference over expression structures is an open research problem. This tool freezes the expression chosen by the caller and bootstraps only its numeric constants; uncertainty about *which* expression is correct is not quantified. Bootstrap semantics: - If y_sigma is supplied, uses parametric bootstrap (y_b = y + Normal(0, y_sigma)). CI reflects user-stated measurement noise. - Otherwise uses residual bootstrap: fit once, resample residuals. CI reflects estimated-from-residuals noise. Only Float constants in the expression become free parameters. Integers stay structural (the 2 in x**2 is a function-class choice, not a fit constant). Expressions with no Float constants (e.g. "x + y") will be rejected with a validation error. Expression grammar: the `expression` string is parsed by sympy. Accepted operators are the same set pysr_run emits: unary `sin`, `cos`, `tan`, `exp`, `log`, `log2`, `log10`, `sqrt`, `abs`, `sinh`, `cosh`, `tanh`; binary `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `^` (or `**`). Whitespace and parenthesization are free. Every free symbol in the expression must correspond to an entry in `feature_names` — an unrecognised symbol is silently treated as a fresh sympy Symbol and the fit will fail downstream rather than reject early. Parse failures (syntax errors, malformed operators) surface as tool errors. If `feature_names` is supplied, its length must equal the number of columns in `X`; a mismatch is rejected with a validation error. Pricing: always free, regardless of dataset size. This tool has no `payment` parameter and is never subject to the x402/Stripe gate. Large bootstrap jobs still count against the shared rate limit below, so budget `n_resamples` accordingly. Rate limit: 10 requests/hour per IP, 200/hour global, max queue depth 20 (shared with sindy_run and pysr_run).

Enterprise Governance for Occam

Willow adds the layer Occam and every other SaaS doesn't ship out of the box: every call runs behind SSO (Okta, Azure AD), enforces RBAC and least-privilege at runtime, writes to full audit logs, and detects shadow AI usage across your stack. One MCP gateway. Any agent. Every tool.

Occam MCP Server FAQ

What is the Occam MCP server?

The Occam MCP server is a Model Context Protocol implementation that lets AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT read and write Occam data through a standardized interface. Willow hosts and governs this server so enterprises can roll it out without a security review backlog.

How is Willow's Occam MCP server different from the official one?

The official Occam MCP server is scoped to a single user's account and does not include enterprise governance. Willow's version adds SSO, RBAC, audit logging, shadow AI detection, and centralized control over which actions agents can take across the entire org.

Which AI clients work with the Occam MCP server?

Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code with MCP support, n8n, and any custom agent built with OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, or Anthropic SDK.

Is the Occam MCP server secure? How does Willow handle authentication?

Every call runs behind your existing SSO (Okta, Azure AD). Per-user OAuth scopes the agent to exactly what that user can do in Occam, nothing more. No credentials reach the LLM. Every action writes to an audit trail.

Can I limit which Occam actions agents can take?

Yes. Willow lets you scope agents to specific actions, specific projects, or specific environments. Toggle actions on or off in the dashboard, or enforce policy via infrastructure-as-code through GitHub.

How do I detect shadow Occam MCP servers in my org?

Willow's browser extension and discovery service surface unmanaged MCP servers, skills, and AI agents across the org. If a developer installed an unapproved Occam MCP locally, you'll see it.

What does the Occam MCP server cost?

Pricing depends on org size and deployment model (SaaS, dedicated cloud, self-host). See withwillow.ai/pricing or contact sales for a quote.

How do I install the Occam MCP server with Willow?

Install via the Willow Connect Panel in one click, or paste the JSON snippet above into your Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code config. SSO and RBAC inherit from your existing Willow setup.
