What is the Databox MCP Server?
Connect your Databox account to any AI agent and take full control of your business intelligence and data ingestion workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Dataset Orchestration — List and manage your database collections (tables) programmatically, including retrieving detailed schema metadata and primary key configurations
- High-Fidelity Ingestion — Programmatically push arrays of raw data records directly into Databox to coordinate real-time metric visualization and reporting
- Source Architecture — Access and manage your directory of data source integrations and connected accounts to maintain high-fidelity data feeds
- Usage Monitoring — Programmatically track your data storage statistics and API activity logs to coordinate your analytics budget and quotas
- Operational Visibility — Check authenticated user profiles and verify system connectivity directly through your agent for instant BI reporting
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Retrieve your API Key (v1) from your Databox dashboard (Account Settings > API Tokens)
3. Start pushing your business metrics and managing datasets from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
No more manual metric logging or digging through complex SQL transformations in the dashboard. Your AI acts as your dedicated data engineer and BI coordinator.
Who is this for?
- Data Analysts — instantly ingest new data points and verify dataset structures using natural language commands
- Marketing & Sales Ops — automate the reporting of custom metrics and monitor storage limits without leaving your workspace
- Operations Leads — track API activity logs and manage data source connections through simple AI queries

Does it support real-time data pushing?
The push_metrics_data tool allows for immediate ingestion of data records, making them available for visualization in Databox instantly.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
