The Data360 DQ+ MCP (Model Context Protocol) server enables AI assistants such as Claude to interact directly with your Data360 DQ+ environment using natural language.

The MCP server exposes Data360 DQ+ capabilities as tools that AI assistants can discover and invoke, allowing users to query data, retrieve case information, and explore analysis pipelines through plain English — without opening any dashboard.

The MCP server must be enabled for your tenant by your Data360 DQ+ administrator before you can connect to it.

You can enable the MCP Server for your Data360 DQ+ instance through the API Settings.

Navigate to Admin > API Settings > MCP Server and select Yes to enable it.
Note: Enabling the MCP server requires JWT Authentication to be enabled as well.

What you can do with the MCP server

The following capabilities are available through the MCP server:

Case queue management and SLA monitoring
Query your assigned case queue in plain English. Ask how many cases are assigned to you, how many have crossed the SLA threshold, and which cases need immediate action or escalation — without opening any dashboard. Designed for Data Stewards and Analysts.
Analysis explanation
Ask the AI assistant to explain any Data360 DQ+ analysis pipeline in plain English. Receive a step-by-step breakdown of what the analysis does, what data it uses, and what it outputs — no pipeline expertise required. Ideal for onboarding, documentation, and stakeholder reviews. Designed for Business Analysts and Product Owners.
Audit trail and user engagement tracking
Query the Data360 DQ+ audit trail using natural language to get a structured comparison of user activity across case stores. Understand who is doing what, how often, and what engagement patterns look like — without custom reporting. Designed for Data360 DQ+ Administrators.
