DataHub Agent Context - MCP Tools for AI Agents

DataHub Agent Context

DataHub Agent Context provides a collection of tools and utilities for building AI agents that interact with DataHub metadata. This package contains MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools that enable AI agents to search, retrieve, and manipulate metadata in DataHub. These can be used directly to create an agent, or be included in an MCP server such as Datahub's open source MCP server.

Features

Installation

Base Installation

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools
python3 -m pip install --upgrade datahub-agent-context

With LangChain Support

For building LangChain agents with pre-built tools:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade "datahub-agent-context[langchain]"

Prerequisites

This package requires:

• Python 3.9 or higher
• acryl-datahub package

Quick Start

Basic Example

These tools are designed to be used with an AI agent and have the responses passed directly to an LLM, so the return schema is a simple dict, but they can be used independently if desired.

from datahub.ingestion.graph.client import DataHubGraph
from datahub_agent_context.mcp_tools.search import search
from datahub_agent_context.mcp_tools.entities import get_entities

# Initialize DataHub graph client
client = DataHubClient.from_env()

# Search for datasets
with client as client:
    results = search(
        query="user_data",
        filters={"entity_type": ["dataset"]},
        num_results=10
    )

# Get detailed entity information
with client as client:
    entities = get_entities(
        urns=[result["entity"]["urn"] for result in results["searchResults"]]
    )

LangChain Integration

Build AI agents with pre-built LangChain tools:

from datahub.sdk.main_client import DataHubClient
from datahub_agent_context.langchain_tools import build_langchain_tools
from langchain.agents import create_agent

# Initialize DataHub client
client = DataHubClient.from_env()

# Build all tools (read-only by default)
tools = build_langchain_tools(client, include_mutations=False)

# Or include mutation tools for tagging, descriptions, etc.
tools = build_langchain_tools(client, include_mutations=True)

# Create agent
agent = create_agent(model, tools=tools, system_prompt="...")

See examples/langchain/ for complete LangChain agent examples including:

• simple_search.py - Minimal example with AWS Bedrock
