Artie’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) server gives compatible AI clients access to approved Artie operations.
Before you begin, make sure you have:
  • An Artie API key generated from the Settings page in the Artie dashboard
  • An MCP-compatible client that supports remote Streamable HTTP servers

Connect your client

Use the remote server URL below and send your Artie API key in the Authorization header. Treat the key as a secret. Do not commit a configuration file that contains it.
Add the server to .cursor/mcp.json:
Replace YOUR_ARTIE_API_KEY with the API key you generated from the Artie dashboard.

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. Artie may add or remove supported MCP operations over time.
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

The MCP endpoint requires an Artie API key. If your client cannot connect or reports an invalid token, verify that the key is current, then replace the saved key in your client configuration and reconnect. Generate a replacement key from the Artie dashboard if needed.
