⁠Python Interpreter MCP Server

A Python-based execution tool that mimics a Jupyter notebook environment. It accepts code snippets, executes them, and maintains state across sessions — preserving variables, imports, and past results. Ideal for iterative development, debugging, or code execution.

Executes Python code within a persistent session, retaining past results (e.g., variables, imports). Similar to a Jupyter notebook. A session_id is returned on first use and must be included in subsequent requests to maintain context.
