How to Use the data.world MCP in Claude Code
Query data.world catalogs, extract SQL schemas, and pipe metadata directly to your CLI tools using the data.world MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect data.world MCP to Claude Code
Create your Vinkius account to connect data.world to Claude Code and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Search data.world catalogs from your terminal
The `search_catalog` tool executes full-text searches across your data.world datasets and projects directly from the Claude Code CLI. Claude Code runs this tool to find matching data.world tables and data assets instantly. You do not need to open a browser to find your data.world catalog assets when using Claude Code. Piping these data.world search results to other command-line tools or saving them as JSON is simple with Claude Code. The Claude Code agent uses the returned data.world metadata to quickly locate resources. This makes data.world catalog discovery a native part of your terminal workflow in Claude Code.
Extract database queries via the MCP Server
The `list_dataset_queries` tool pulls saved SQL and SPARQL queries from your data.world datasets into your Claude Code shell. Claude Code inspects these queries to understand how your data.world data is structured. It can immediately output data.world queries to local files or prepare them for database migrations. By combining this with `get_dataset_details`, Claude Code checks field definitions and file listings. Ensuring that the queries match the actual data.world schema is done automatically by Claude Code. This prevents broken data.world queries before you run them in your Claude Code pipelines.
Audit data.world project progress and activity
The `list_recent_activity` tool retrieves a real-time stream of updates, project contributions, and collection entries from data.world into Claude Code. Claude Code reads this activity log to track changes made by your team on data.world. You can run data.world audits directly from your Claude Code terminal session. Your Claude Code agent also uses `get_project_details` to resolve data.world project members and linked resources. It maps who is working on what data.world asset without manual status updates. This keeps your local deployment scripts and data.world pipelines aligned with actual catalog activity in Claude Code.
