# Run agentic anomaly investigations with PyOD

Use PyOD's agent skill or MCP server to turn natural-language anomaly detection requests into repeatable detector selection, fitting, scoring, and investigation workflows.

## Prerequisites

Python, pip, PyOD, optional MCP-compatible client

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- pip install pyod
- pip install pyod[mcp]

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- Python Outlier Detection (PyOD) 3
- PyOD 3 is the most comprehensive Python library for anomaly detection. Four pillars:
- # 2. Any MCP-compatible LLM — requires the optional mcp extra

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- ^^^^^^^
- Core library (required for every activation path):
- .. code-block:: bash
