AnomalyArmor MCP Server - Data observability tools for AI assistants

armor-mcp

The AnomalyArmor MCP server lets AI assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, any MCP client) interact with your data warehouse through 50+ structured tools: query alerts, monitor freshness, investigate schema drift, configure validity rules, and trace lineage in natural language.

• Homepage: https://www.anomalyarmor.ai
• Docs: https://docs.anomalyarmor.ai/integrations/mcp-server
• Server card: https://www.anomalyarmor.ai/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json
• Status: Production. Versioned MCP protocol 2025-06-18. OAuth 2.1 + API key auth.

Two ways to connect

Method	Auth	Best for
Remote (recommended)	OAuth 2.1 (Clerk)	Zero install, always up to date
Local	API key	Air-gapped, on-call laptops, custom proxies

Remote (recommended)

The server is hosted at https://mcp.anomalyarmor.ai/mcp (Streamable HTTP transport). First call opens a browser for OAuth; the token is cached for ~12h.

Claude Code

claude mcp add anomalyarmor --transport http https://mcp.anomalyarmor.ai/mcp

Cursor

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/mcp.json (macOS), ~/.config/Cursor/mcp.json (Linux), or %APPDATA%\Cursor\mcp.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anomalyarmor": {
      "url": "https://mcp.anomalyarmor.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Any MCP client

URL: https://mcp.anomalyarmor.ai/mcp
Transport: streamable-http
Auth: OAuth 2.1
Discovery: https://mcp.anomalyarmor.ai/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource

Local (API key)

Use when the remote server isn't reachable or when you want no third-party dependency.

Install

# Recommended: uvx (no install)
uvx armor-mcp

# Or pip
pip install armor-mcp

Configure

Get an API key from Settings → API Keys at https://app.anomalyarmor.ai.

export ARMOR_API_KEY=aa_live_your_key_here

Or persist to ~/.armor/config.yaml:

api_key: aa_live_your_key_here

Wire to a client

Tools

53 tools across 8 categories. Every tool ships with MCP ToolAnnotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint: false) so hosts can decide when to auto-confirm.

Tool safety conventions

Hosts respect the annotations:

Category	Pattern	Confirmation
Read-only	list_*, get_*, check_*, search_*	Auto-invoke
Mutating	create_*, update_*, enable_*, disable_*, manage_*	Confirm with user
Destructive	delete_* (via manage_*), dismiss_alert	Always confirm; list affected entities
Expensive	generate_intelligence, trigger_asset_discovery	Confirm; these queue paid jobs

Multi-tenancy

The OAuth token (or API key) is scoped to the user's company. You cannot impersonate another tenant. Don't fabricate company_id arguments.

Async jobs

trigger_asset_discovery, generate_intelligence, and metric captures return a job_id. Poll with job_status(job_id) rather than re-triggering.

Discovery surfaces
