What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI applications to securely connect with external data sources and tools. MCP is supported by various AI tools including Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other AI development environments. For detailed information about MCP, see:

​
Entity and Data Management

Get Entity Details
  • get_entity_details - Retrieve comprehensive information about a specific data entity
  • batch_entity_details - Get details for multiple entities simultaneously
  • get_schema - Access table schema including columns, types, and constraints
  • get_table_coordinates - Retrieve data warehouse coordinates and SQL dialect
  • get_code - Access source code for transformations and models

​
Data Lineage and Dependencies

Upstream Dependencies
  • get_upstream_dependencies - Find all upstream dependencies with configurable traversal depth
  • get_immediate_upstream_dependencies - Get direct upstream dependencies only
  • get_upstream_sources - Trace to original data sources (dbt sources, external models)
Downstream Dependencies
  • get_downstream_dependencies - Find all downstream dependencies with configurable depth
  • get_immediate_downstream_dependencies - Get direct downstream dependencies only
Advanced Lineage Analysis
  • get_lineage - Comprehensive dependency analysis (upstream, downstream, or both)
  • get_common_upstream_dependencies - Identify shared dependencies between multiple entities

​
Issue and Incident Management

Issue Discovery

  • list_open_incidents - Access active incidents requiring resolution
  • get_issue / get_issue_details - Detailed information about specific issues
  • get_issue_comments - Review comments and discussions on issues
Impact Analysis
  • get_issue_impact - Understand which entities and systems are affected by issues
  • list_history - Find historical incidents to identify patterns and recurring problems

​
Data Quality and Monitoring

  • list_checks - View all data quality checks for an entity (direct and inherited)
  • get_monitor - Access detailed information about specific data monitors

​
Change Tracking and Version Control

Database Changes
  • list_database_changes - History of schema and structure changes for entities
  • get_database_change_details - Detailed change information with full diffs
Git Integration
