How to Set Up and Use IBM SPSS

The SPSS MCP server integrates IBM SPSS Statistics directly with Claude Code, exposing 36 statistical analysis tools spanning descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, correlation, regression, survival analysis, clustering, and reliability analysis. Researchers describe their analysis in plain English and Claude generates and executes the SPSS syntax, returning results with .spv output files — no manual syntax writing required.

Prerequisites

  • Windows 10 or 11 (the server targets the Windows SPSS automation interface)
  • Python 3.10 or later installed
  • IBM SPSS Statistics version 20 through 31 installed and licensed
  • Claude Code with MCP support (or Claude Desktop)
1

Clone the repository

Clone the SPSS-MCP repository and enter the project directory.

git clone https://github.com/Exekiel179/SPSS-MCP.git
cd SPSS-MCP
2

Run the installer

Run the included batch installer which installs Python dependencies and auto-detects the SPSS installation path.

install.bat
3

Configure the Claude Code MCP entry

Run the configure command to auto-generate the MCP server entry in your Claude Code settings.

spss-mcp configure-claude
4

Set optional environment variables

Override defaults in a .env file if SPSS is installed in a non-standard location or you need to tune timeouts.

# .env (optional)
SPSS_INSTALL_PATH=C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\31
SPSS_STARTUP_TIMEOUT=30
SPSS_TIMEOUT=120
SKILLS_DIR=C:\Users\you\spss-skills
5

Verify the server is registered

Check that the MCP server entry appears in your Claude Code MCP settings and that Claude Code can reach it.

spss-mcp --version
6

Run a test analysis

Open Claude Code and ask it to run a basic descriptive statistics analysis on a sample .sav file to confirm end-to-end connectivity with SPSS.

IBM SPSS Examples

Client configuration

claude_desktop_config.json snippet for the SPSS MCP server on Windows.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spss": {
      "command": "spss-mcp",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "SPSS_INSTALL_PATH": "C:\\Program Files\\IBM\\SPSS\\Statistics\\31",
        "SPSS_TIMEOUT": "120"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Example analysis requests you can give Claude once the server is connected.

- "Run descriptive statistics on data.sav for the variables age, income, and education"
- "Perform a t-test comparing income between male and female groups in survey.sav"
- "Analyze the correlation between age and income in my dataset"
- "Run a one-way ANOVA on exam_scores.sav with group as the factor"
- "Check normality for the variable 'response_time' using a Shapiro-Wilk test"

Troubleshooting IBM SPSS

SPSS engine fails to start and times out

Increase SPSS_STARTUP_TIMEOUT in .env (default may be too short on slower machines). Also verify that SPSS_INSTALL_PATH points to the exact directory containing the SPSS executable, not a parent folder.

install.bat cannot find SPSS automatically

Set SPSS_INSTALL_PATH explicitly in a .env file before running install.bat, or pass the path when prompted. The auto-detection checks standard Program Files locations for versions 20-31.

Analysis returns an error about missing .sav file

Provide the full absolute path to the .sav file in your Claude prompt, e.g. C:\Users\you\data\study.sav. The server resolves paths relative to the working directory of the SPSS process, which may differ from your current directory.
