DX MCP Server

What is DX MCP Server?

The DX MCP Server is a Python-based tool that enables AI applications like Claude for Desktop and Cursor to interact with your DX Data Cloud database. It empowers the AI to formulate and execute SQL queries on your Postgres database and use DX catalog tools to find context about software entities, relationships, and scorecards.

How to use DX MCP Server?

You can connect via remote hosting (recommended) at https://ai.getdx.com/mcp using an HTTP transport and a DX API token, or run the server locally by installing via pip (pip install dx-mcp-server) or cloning the source. Configure your AI client (Claude Code, Claude for Desktop, or Cursor) with the appropriate command or JSON settings as detailed in the README, providing a DB_URL and WEB_API_TOKEN for local setups.

FAQ from DX MCP Server

What is the recommended way to use the server?

Remote hosting at https://ai.getdx.com/mcp is recommended because it requires no local installation.

What are the prerequisites for local hosting?

Python 3.10 or higher, a database connection URL from your DX DB Users settings page, and a DX API token generated in your account settings.

How do I authenticate with the remote hosted server?

Provide a valid DX API token in the Authorization header when configuring your AI client.

What is the long-term direction for AI interfaces?

DX intends for the CLI to become the primary interface for AI agents beyond this MCP server, but both interfaces remain supported.

Where can I find my database connection URL?

On the DX DB Users settings page at https://app.getdx.com/datacloud/dbusers.
