NodeJS Library for Kaggle API
NodeJS Library for Kaggle API. Exposed over MCP by the kaggle mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
A node.js SDK for downloading datasets from Kaggle.com using the Kaggle API.
kaggle-node on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Authenticate — Authenticating is only needed to access public resources requiring user consent or private resourcesUsage — Import and create KaggleNode object. ts import { KaggleNode } from 'kaggle-node';Datasets — /** Filter search. 'sortBy' - Apply Kaggle sorting criteria, default 'HOTTEST'. 'fileType' - Filter by associated file type. 'license' - Filter byReferences — The References tool exposed by this serverYou will need one environment variable: YOUR_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Kaggle's toolset — Authenticate, Usage, Datasets and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by anorde; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
