Claude

Give Claude Code or Claude Desktop access to your enterprise data context in DataHub — find trustworthy data, trace lineage, look up ownership, and reference documentation while you work.

Prerequisites​

Claude Code​

DataHub Cloud​

Claude Code natively supports streamable HTTP — no proxy needed.

claude mcp add --transport http \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  datahub-cloud \
  "https://<tenant>.acryl.io/integrations/ai/mcp/"
Keep Your Token Secret

To avoid putting the token in your shell history, set it as an environment variable first:

export DATAHUB_TOKEN="<your-token>"
claude mcp add --transport http \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $DATAHUB_TOKEN" \
  datahub-cloud \
  "https://<tenant>.acryl.io/integrations/ai/mcp/"

Self-Hosted DataHub​

Install uv (curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh), then:

claude mcp add datahub \
  -e DATAHUB_GMS_URL="<your-datahub-url>" \
  -e DATAHUB_GMS_TOKEN="<your-datahub-token>" \
  -- uvx mcp-server-datahub@latest

Verify​

Run claude mcp list to confirm the DataHub server appears.

Claude Desktop​

DataHub Cloud​

Claude Desktop's config file doesn't reliably connect to remote MCP servers directly. Use mcp-remote as a local bridge.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config and update claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datahub-cloud": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://<tenant>.acryl.io/integrations/ai/mcp/?token=<token>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Self-Hosted DataHub​

  1. Run which uvx to find the full path to uvx.
  2. Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config and update claude_desktop_config.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datahub": {
      "command": "<full-path-to-uvx>",  // e.g. /Users/you/.local/bin/uvx
      "args": ["mcp-server-datahub@latest"],
      "env": {
        "DATAHUB_GMS_URL": "<your-datahub-url>",
        "DATAHUB_GMS_TOKEN": "<your-datahub-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Verify​

Restart Claude Desktop. The DataHub tools should appear in the tools menu (hammer icon).

Troubleshooting​

For general troubleshooting (authentication errors, empty results, uvx not found), see the MCP server guide.
