Connect to the data.world MCP server
All clients connect to the same hosted endpoint over HTTPS: https://api.data.world/mcp
The server is fully hosted by data.world and you do not install or self-host any component. Authentication uses your existing data.world account and completes in your browser. The AI client never receives your data.world password or access token.
Follow the detailed instructions for your specific AI client to setup the MCP server.
To add the MCP server to your AI client:
In your AI client, find the option to add a custom connector.
In the connection details, provide the data.world MCP endpoint: https://api.data.world/mcp.
Your AI client should redirect you to data.world to begin authorization.
Review the consent screen. It names the specific AI tool requesting access; it is not a blanket approval.
Approve the request. data.world returns control to your AI client.
Your client receives a scoped token for MCP operations and begins working with your catalog on your behalf.
Important
Your authorization stays valid for 30 days, after which you sign in again. Within that window, individual sessions time out after 30 minutes of inactivity and after 12 hours maximum. No action is required when a session times out; the next request re-establishes one until your 30-day authorization expires.
