Extreme P-value MCP Server

Overview

This MCP server provides an API interface to extreme p-value calculation functions (z, t, F, chi-square, SAIGE) implemented in the R script extreme-P.R, via Python.

• Strongly depends on the R script extreme-P.R (except for Wald).
• Uses pyper to call R from Python.
• The API server is built with FastMCP.
• extreme_p_helper.py is a 1-to-1 wrapper for the R functions.
• server.py provides the API endpoints.
