Code Mode

The code Mode depends on abcoder In code Mode, usually you don’t need develop tools, because LLM generate code, and jupyter execute code. But if you Always want to call same codes or specific code execution. You also can develop mcp tool in code mode, just refer to tool-mode, define schemata, server, use get_nbm to get jupyter backend.

​
Overview

Code mode is designed for interactive analysis workflows where the LLM generates code that gets executed in Jupyter notebooks. This mode leverages the NotebookManager backend to handle multiple notebook instances with different kernels. Additionally, it can generate complete Jupyter notebooks containing executable code, analysis results, and visualizations.

​
Key Components

​
NotebookManager

The NotebookManager is the core backend for code mode operations. It provides:
  • Multi-notebook Management: Handle multiple Jupyter notebook instances
  • Code Execution: Execute generated code with proper error handling
  • Notebook Persistence: Save and load notebook states
For complete documentation, see NotebookManager Reference.

​
Backend Access

Use get_nbm() to access the NotebookManager in your MCP tools: 
from scmcp_shared.util import get_nbm

@mcp.tool(tags=["nb"])
def execute_code(code: str):
    """Execute code in the active Jupyter notebook."""
    nbm = get_nbm()
    jce = nbm.active_notebook
    result = jce.execute(code)
    return result

​
Development Workflow

​
1. Server Configuration

Configure your MCP server to use NotebookManager backend: 
from scmcp_shared.mcp_base import BaseMCPManager
from abcoder.backend import NotebookManager
from scmcp_shared.util import get_nbm

mcp = FastMCP(name="MyAssistantServer")

@mcp.tool
def print_hello():
    nbm = get_nbm()
    jce = nbm.active_notebook
    code = "print('hello')"
    result = jce.execute(code)
    return result

class MyCodeModeManager(BaseMCPManager):
    def init_mcp(self):
        self.available_modules = {
            "nb": nb_mcp,
            "p": mcp,
        }

# Create manager with NotebookManager backend
manager = MyCodeModeManager(
    name="my-code-mcp",
    backend=NotebookManager,
    include_tags=["nb"]
)
