A Model Context Protocol server implementation for DataHub.
This enables AI agents to query DataHub for metadata and context about your data ecosystem.
Supports both DataHub Core and DataHub Cloud.
Features
- Searching across all entity types and using arbitrary filters
- Fetching metadata for any entity
- Traversing the lineage graph, both upstream and downstream
- Listing SQL queries associated with a dataset

Check out the demo video, done in collaboration with the team at Block.
Usage
- Install `uv`
- Locate your authentication detailsFor authentication, you'll need the following:You can also use a
~/.datahubenvfile to configure your authentication. The easiest way to create this file is to rundatahub initand follow the prompts.
- Configure your MCP client. See below - this will vary depending on your agent.
