dbt MCP Server

This MCP (Model Context Protocol) server provides various tools to interact with dbt. You can use this MCP server to provide AI agents with context of your project in dbt Core, dbt Fusion, and dbt Platform.

Read our documentation here to learn more. This blog post provides more details for what is possible with the dbt MCP server.

Experimental MCP Bundle

We publish an experimental Model Context Protocol Bundle (dbt-mcp.mcpb) with each release so that MCPB-aware clients can import this server without additional setup. Download the bundle from the latest release assets and follow Anthropic's mcpb CLI docs to install or inspect it.
