dbt MCP server: ask questions, get governed answers
A data transformation tool that defines SQL models, tests and documentation, and records run results for data warehouse pipelines.
Try it on your own data in a pilot.
dbt AI analytics: what you can ask
Typical questions from data engineering and analytics. Each answer shows the definition, source and query behind it.
- Which models failed in the most recent production run?
- Which tests fail most often over the last 30 days?
- What are the slowest models by run time this week?
- How has total job run duration trended over the last month?
- List models with no downstream dependencies
How Nexatron connects to dbt
- Whose permissions
- Your administrator approves the access the dbt connection uses. Where dbt supports per-user sign-in, answers run under each person's own access, and Nexatron roles decide who in your company can ask.
- Read and write
- Questions are read-only: asking never changes dbt data.
- Setup
- Our team sets up the dbt connection with your administrator during the pilot. No data migration and no pipeline to build: data is queried where it lives.
dbt MCP connector for Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot
Nexatron's hosted MCP server is a governed dbt MCP connector: Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot ask questions of your dbt data through it. Each person signs in as themselves, so the assistant sees only what they may see.
Connect dbt to Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot
- Connect dbt to your Nexatron workspace.
- In Claude, add Nexatron from Claude's connector directory. In ChatGPT or Copilot, add a custom MCP connector with the server URL
https://api.nexatron.io/api/v1/mcp. - Sign in with your own Nexatron identity (OAuth 2.1), then ask your dbt questions.
dbt connector FAQ
- Can I ask dbt questions without writing queries?
- Yes. Ask in Teams, Slack, the Nexatron web app, or an AI assistant connected through Nexatron's MCP server.
- Does Nexatron respect dbt permissions?
- Yes. Where dbt supports per-user sign-in, answers run under each person's own access.
- Can Nexatron change data in dbt?
- No. Asking a question never changes dbt data.
- What do I need to connect dbt?
- An administrator who can approve the connection. Our team sets it up with them during the pilot.
- Is there a dbt MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot?
- Yes: Nexatron's hosted MCP server, once dbt is connected to your workspace. It is Nexatron's server, not one published by dbt, and the assistant gets the same governed answer as the Nexatron app.
Try Nexatron on your own dbt data
A pilot starts with three questions your team already asks and the report you trust for each, so you can check the answers yourself.
