About Tinybird Data Platform MCP Server
Connect your AI agent to Tinybird, the real-time data platform for developers. This integration allows you to oversee your analytical infrastructure, manage ingestion storage (Data Sources), and interact with transformation logic (Pipes) through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Tinybird Data Platform tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Infrastructure Oversight — List and inspect all your Data Sources and Pipes in real-time
- Transformation Analysis — Retrieve SQL logic and nodes for any Pipe to understand how data is being processed
- Live Querying — Execute published Pipes or run arbitrary SQL queries (ClickHouse dialect) to explore your data directly via the agent
- Operational Metrics — Check ingestion stats, row counts, and storage sizes for your analytical units
- Access Control — List and audit authentication tokens and workspace configurations
The Tinybird Data Platform MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
