What the code does

In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add datanika-mcp -- uvx datanika-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datanika-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "datanika-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.datanika-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["datanika-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datanika-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "datanika-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datanika-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "datanika-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: DATANIKA_URL (Datanika instance URL (defaults to https://app.datanika.io; set this for a self-hosted instance)), DATANIKA_API_KEY (Datanika API key (from Settings -> API Keys)), DATANIKA_ALLOW_WRITE (Set to true to enable write/trigger tools (read-only by default)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Datanika MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Datanika MCP?
Datanika MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package datanika-mcp was installed 89 times last week.
How do I connect Datanika MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls datanika-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Datanika MCP?
The pypi package datanika-mcp was installed 89 times in the last week. Week over week that is +3%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Datanika MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence, written in Python, 0 stars on GitHub and 125 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
