FAQ from MCP Server for ZenML

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI applications connect to data sources and tools in a uniform way, like a “USB-C port for AI.”

What is ZenML?

ZenML is an open-source platform for building and managing ML and AI pipelines, providing a unified interface for data, models, and experiments.

What transport does the server use for MCP Apps?

MCP Apps require Streamable HTTP transport; they cannot work via stdio.

Which AI clients currently support MCP Apps?

VS Code (Insiders), Goose, and ChatGPT (launching soon). Claude Desktop and Claude.ai do not yet support Apps as of late January 2026.

How do I migrate from Run Templates to Snapshots?

Replace list_run_templates() with list_snapshots(runnable=True, named_only=True), get_run_template(name) with get_snapshot(name, include_config_schema=True), and trigger_pipeline(template_id=...) with trigger_pipeline(snapshot_name_or_id=...).
