Artie’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) server gives compatible AI clients access to approved Artie operations.
Before you begin, make sure you have an MCP-compatible client that supports remote Streamable HTTP servers and OAuth.

Connect your client

Use the remote server URL below. OAuth-capable clients discover Artie’s authorization server and prompt you to sign in. Do not add an Artie API key or a bearer-token header — the server accepts OAuth only.
Add the server to .cursor/mcp.json:
On first tool use, Artie may ask you to sign in, link an environment, and approve the requested scopes. Your client controls the confirmation experience; keep confirmation enabled for actions that change or delete resources.

What you can do

The server exposes a reviewed set of Artie operations. It can help you:
  • List, create, start, update, and remove pipelines; inspect schema changes; and manage backfill work
  • Inspect selected saved connector details and perform approved connector maintenance actions
  • Deploy or remove source readers
  • Manage existing SSH tunnels and PrivateLink connections
  • Manage column hashing salts, encryption keys, and ingestion API keys
  • Search the Artie data catalog
The server does not expose every Dashboard or API action. pipeline_list returns lightweight state; use the tool reference to identify the right follow-up action. Some connector and source-reader operations handle restricted credentials. Review the exact tool’s data-handling guidance before calling it. See the MCP tools reference for every exposed tool, its access requirements, and its retry and safety guidance.
Some tools change or delete resources. Clients can be configured to auto-approve tool calls, so do not enable automatic approval for destructive tools. Review the exact action and affected resource before authorizing a call. Deleting a resource or changing an encryption or ingestion API key can interrupt dependent workloads.

Authentication and access

OAuth is the only authentication path. Artie API keys are not accepted. If a client cannot connect or has an expired token, remove its saved Artie connection and reconnect so it can complete OAuth again. OAuth prompts and recovery steps vary by client. For a headless or remote client, complete any browser approval and environment-linking flow from a browser session that can access the Artie Dashboard.
