Intro

Give AI agents structured access to dbt project context and tools (SQL, semantic layer, docs search). Ships an experimental MCP bundle in releases.

  • Best for: Analytics engineering teams who want an agent to answer dbt questions with real project context, not guesswork
  • Works with: dbt Core/Fusion/Platform workflows + MCP clients (per dbt docs)
  • Setup time: 15 minutes

How to Use It Well

  • Setup time ~15 minutes (download bundle + wire credentials + connect)
  • GitHub stars + forks (verified): see Source & Thanks
  • Tools span SQL, semantic layer queries, and docs search (see README tool list)

When agents answer data questions, the failure mode is hallucinating models, columns, or semantics. dbt-mcp is a way to ground answers in your dbt project artifacts and (optionally) your dbt platform APIs—so the agent can cite real entities.

FAQ

Q: Is it read-only? A: It includes both read-only context tools and CLI-like operations. Start with read-only and expand intentionally.

Q: Do I need dbt Cloud/Platform? A: The README mentions supporting multiple dbt environments; confirm which mode you run and configure accordingly.

Q: How do I keep it safe? A: Use least-privilege credentials, separate dev/prod targets, and require human confirmation for any write-like operation.
