About Dataiku DSS MCP Server
Connect your Dataiku DSS instance to any AI agent and take full control of your enterprise AI and collaborative data science workflows through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Dataiku DSS data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 14 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Project & Dataset Exploration — List all accessible DSS projects and retrieve structural extraction of dataset column schemas and types
- Pipeline Orchestration — Monitor build tasks and training runs by listing pipeline jobs and analyzing execution states and timing
- Transformation Auditing — Retrieve explicit configuration structures parsing precise Dataiku recipes (Python, SQL, Visual) to verify data logic
- Automation & Scenarios — List automation scenarios and trigger execution commands to rebuild pipelines or retrain models securely
- Model Monitoring — Identify saved ML models and retrieve detailed performance metrics defining specific trained schema layers
- Admin Oversight — Enumerate installed plugins and data connections (SQL, Cloud Storage, APIs) to verify organizational constraints
The Dataiku DSS MCP Server exposes 14 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
