# Dataplex MCP Server
|
|
|
|
The Dataplex Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server gives AI-powered development tools the ability to work with your Google Cloud Dataplex Catalog. It supports searching and looking up entries and aspect types.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
An editor configured to use the Dataplex MCP server can use its AI capabilities to help you:
|
|
|
|
- **Search Catalog** - Search for entries in Dataplex Catalog
|
|
- **Explore Metadata** - Lookup specific entries and search aspect types
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) installed.
|
|
* A Google Cloud project with the **Dataplex API** enabled.
|
|
* Ensure [Application Default Credentials](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/gcloud) are available in your environment.
|
|
* IAM Permissions:
|
|
* Dataplex Viewer (`roles/dataplex.viewer`) or equivalent permissions to read catalog entries.
|
|
|
|
## Install & Configuration
|
|
|
|
1. In the Antigravity MCP Store, click the "Install" button.
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> On first use, the installation process automatically downloads and uses
|
|
> [MCP Toolbox](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@toolbox-sdk/server)
|
|
> `>=0.26.0`. To update MCP Toolbox, use:
|
|
> ```npm i -g @toolbox-sdk/server@latest```
|
|
> To always run the latest version, update the MCP server configuration to use:
|
|
> ```npx -y @toolbox-sdk/server@latest --prebuilt dataplex```.
|
|
|
|
2. Add the required inputs in the configuration pop-up, then click "Save". You can update this configuration at any time in the "Configure" tab.
|
|
|
|
You'll now be able to see all enabled tools in the "Tools" tab.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> If you encounter issues with Windows Defender blocking the execution, you may need to configure an allowlist. See [Configure exclusions for Microsoft Defender Antivirus](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/configure-exclusions-microsoft-defender-antivirus?view=o365-worldwide) for more details.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Once configured, the MCP server will automatically provide Dataplex capabilities to your AI assistant. You can:
|
|
|
|
* "Search for entries related to 'sales' in Dataplex."
|
|
* "Look up details for the entry 'projects/my-project/locations/us-central1/entryGroups/my-group/entries/my-entry'."
|
|
|
|
## Server Capabilities
|
|
|
|
The Dataplex MCP server provides the following tools:
|
|
|
|
| Tool Name | Description |
|
|
|:----------------------|:-------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `search_entries` | Search for entries in Dataplex Catalog. |
|
|
| `lookup_entry` | Retrieve a specific entry from Dataplex Catalog. |
|
|
| `search_aspect_types` | Find aspect types relevant to the query. |
|
|
|
|
## Custom MCP Server Configuration
|
|
|
|
The MCP server is configured using environment variables.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export DATAPLEX_PROJECT="<your-gcp-project-id>"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add the following configuration to your MCP client (e.g., `settings.json` for Gemini CLI, `mcp_config.json` for Antigravity):
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"dataplex": {
|
|
"command": "npx",
|
|
"args": ["-y", "@toolbox-sdk/server", "--prebuilt", "dataplex", "--stdio"],
|
|
"env": {
|
|
"DATAPLEX_PROJECT": "your-project-id"
|
|
